Bahamut is the VILLAIN of the story? - Final Fantasy XV Theory

And we are back with another Final Fantasy XV story theory! My claim today is that the Astral King Bahamut himself is in fact NOT the good guy of FFXV, but in fact a massive d00che canoe. Continuing on from the Ifrit, Eos and Pitioss dungeon theory by original story junkies Perona77, this is a video for players looking to learn all things summons, all things starscourge. And miss a bit of crazy tinfoil hat Peasant action. Spoiler for the ending of the original game, including episode Prompto, Gladiolus and the entire FFXV universe so far. Tally-ho!

Now that Episode Ardyn is out. This theory has made a lot of sense that Bahamut is the Villain. Now I also understand why former FF15 director, Tabata planned to make other DLC's that will give you the option to defy the Gods' fate but sadly the plan was cancelled.

[@boogiedown7608]

You’re clearly ignorant. If Bahamut was a villain he’d have let Ifrit or the meteor destroy Eos. You people are clearly foolish and don’t understand being “chosen” does not mean your life is going to be wonderful. Last time I looked at the Bible the messiah of the Christian religion had to carry a cross while being beaten, he was then nailed to this cross and hung in the air to suffocate. The Romans then stuck a spear in him to show a small mercy and release him from the pain of crucifixion. But the Astrals should sacrifice themselves to save humanity when they already killed one of their own for humanity? How dumb are you? It’s about time the weak ass humans in this lore protected themselves and Ardyn is a cry baby bitch. When he was a respected “healer” and it was all good praise the gods, but as soon as the path becomes a harsh road of sacrifice you don’t want to protect Eos no more. That sums up Ardyn in all reality.

Sounds like a giant asshole to me. Why didn't god and bahamut just stop the bad shit that happened themselves. Why did bahamut make Ardyn life a living hell when he more than has the power to get rid of the darkness.

[@haylongwang3002]

What, why?

[@saraanbarestani8482]

*SPOILERS* The theory that makes THE MOST sense is that Ardyn in the beginning was given BOTH the task of the oracle and the power to protect the crystal, but when his oracle side absorbed the Daemons the gods found out that they made a HUGE mistake by giving him both these tasks since he absorbed them he also could not ascend into the crystal because of his corrupted soul so after Ardyn was *used* as a mistake they decided that next time they will give the powers separately to two people instead of one because the last time they gave both powers to One person AKA Ardyn it went REALLY bad so now they choose two family members instead of giving the lucian line all of the powers. And that second person was Ardyns brother Izunia. It seems like the gods only USED ardyn to 'Test' the powers they would give out then they realised their mistake and fucked Ardyn over by even denying him death. So the gods really ARE douchebags.

[@mikigirl18]

I ALWAYS knew that Bahamut was a dick. If he's so powerful why doesn't he fix his mistakes? Why make others sacrifice for things they didn't do? Ardyn had every right to hate him, after all the misery he went through only to have Bahamut turn his back.

[@IiI_Gogeta_IiI]

Bahamut tried to photoshop the situation so he didnt look like the asshole. Ut all the other gods were like “no youre still an asshole” Though to be fair Bahamut trying to sort of fix his mistake but in such a way were no one really questions it and instead makes it seem like the radical ifrit at fault goes to show how much Bahamut likes his image, if people knew of his mistake in the manner we knew he would be made a mockery. So lets add egotistical and self centered to the list of things Bahamut is. In one way Bahamut would be seen as the creator and the Lucians were made in his image, shit thats very god like. He even thinks he is the most beautiful to the point where he recreates his look XD

[@sanfransiscon]

I feel like the point was to make things vague so there would be a lot of fan theories.

[@michaelvidal831]

Its vague on purpose. There was a line written that kind of confirmed this in Dissidia 2

[@goldensky2737]

I know the developers have stated that they made the game vague on purpose, but I don't really buy that. This game could have been a masterpiece if the developers focused their efforts solely on this game alone. But, they just had to create FFXV: Kingsglaive, an anime series, A King's Tale, Justice Monster's Five, AND King's Knight. The FFFXV franchise is scattered all over the place and that was ultimately its downfall in my opinion.

[@michaelvidal831]

What downfall? Everyone loved it. Its just not compact which is very rare to have a compact yet be vague and full of deeper elements like FF7 was. They've been making this game for 10 years, the story doesn't only span the text within the game their is visual text in the world environment, visual text in the costume design, they even added an element of pure audio text through its use of radio broadcasts. This game goes beyond you're preconceptions of what a masterpiece should be, it's made people look at things deeply and actually discuss it instead of winking about how beautiful the experience is. I'm not saying its a masterpiece I'm saying it's doing something else that should be respected in its own right

[@LiesintheMist]

What a surprise, gods fucking everything up for humanity because of their damn cosmic ego. I never would've guessed! Thanks, Bahamut.

Just Some Geek jeez.... Gods are fukin dicks

[@DarthDragon007]

Then instead of fixing up their own freaking mistakes, they contract humans to do it for them. Gives the powers of the Ring/Crystal and the Oracle to one guy, not telling him how to properly cleanse the parasite and he takes it into his body due to lack of instructions. This eventually corrupts him, makes him immortal and a new source of the starscorge. As a result, he's rejected by the Crystal due to the Light and the Astrals turn against him. Throughout this all, I'm assuming Sheva was against what Bahamut did but unlike Ifrit, she didn't stand up against him and just stayed neutral instead.

[@sanfransiscon]

It's almost as if this is a JRPG!

[@tarshil2020]

PFFT it's almost as if this is Planet Fucking Earth

[@44637g]

So Shiva, the ice godess (or Astral, whatever), is killed and from her corpse emanates, for miles and miles, cold and snow. And Ifrit, the hell/fire god, is killed and from his corpse rises a gigantic volvano. Why is it that when Eos is killed (the godess of light and dawn), from her corpse emanates the starscourge? Shouldnt it emanates light or something? Why would it be emanating something to darken the world?

[@EliWintercross]

44637g the closer you get to the light, the larger your shadow becomes =P

[@NebbyGotOutTheBag]

Because she was infected by the parasites that couse the "demonization"

[@FinalFantasyPeasant]

Perhaps her body did emit light, which is what attracted the daemon moths down in the depths of Pitioss and infected her. After that I think her power was extracted in the form of the crystal :)

[@distortish]

probably the parasites slowly corrupted her with all the sadness, hate and anger she had for the other astrals for imprisoning her and how bad she felt for the child/children she was bearing.

[@liamvogel4931]

Is it confirmed that Eos was "infected" by the starscourge?I'm having a hard time figuring out if the star scourge originated from a natural part of Eos (like a natural part of her body,) or if the star scourge came from an outside source and infected her.

[@filimonetatofi40]

Bahamut is basically just Ifrit but in reverse. He really means well and wants mankind to thrive, but inadvertently almost destroys it. Also, what are you supposed to do when someone who is not only physically corrupt but also mentally corrupt? It’s hard to tell what Bahamut felt towards Ardyn, but what was he supposed to do?

[@ffkoteji]

I sympathize with the director's idea of "perspective." We see the story from the perspective of the world's redeemer, Noctis. However, the stories of others exist in this world. Of both people, and Astrals. And we can interact with these texts, images, individuals, and places we encounter. The story is enriched by making ones interaction with it be like that of the lead. I know I may be alone here. So be it. I find the world of FFXV to be incredible. I see how it's like Homer's Iliad... warriors battling alongside gods. Bahamut is Zeus, Leviathan is Hera, for example. These are just parallels mind you. They help one see how Noctis is a pawn in a grand game. He's used by one king to kill another. Great video Pez! Ready for II whenever it drops.

[@liamvogel4931]

Jon Godfrey well said Jon, I have to say I absolutely agree with you! I've always been frustrated with the lack of story engagement when it comes to the other characters. I get that they want to show alternative perspectives and divulge those details in the dlc's. In my opinion, there should have been more development in the main story when it comes to the starscourge and the history of Eos. Fleeting Loading screens just aren't enough sometimes:(

[@ffkoteji]

I feel you. Luckily the DLCs have offered a lot of story though, both directly in the narrative, and in the case of Prompto, within the documents and voicenotes that he finds. I think the lack of story is harped on a bit too much though, as gaming content wise this game is MASSIVE. The Menace Dungeons, Legendary Weapons Quests, Hunts, Timed Quests, and Pitioss... to name a few (King's Tale as well.... and King's Knight soon), have provided me with extent hours of enjoyment. I absolutely love XV. It really sparked my love for gaming again... and I do hope it keeps growing. I would love to continue to get patches for the game, and would buy another Season Pass if that means more gameplay/story.

[@burnedsnake4376]

OMG Noctis is Jesus D:

[@codysingh2572]

I feel like Bahamut could have been a sort of sympathetic character if you explored on the fact that he constantly has to look after every person who died watching there lives go bye while he stuck eternally watching

[@AlexBermann]

It seems as if the Miasma theory has a glaring hole: if you don't kill demons, they will eventually die due to natural causes, disasters or maybe internal conflicts. You'd need to contain the demons in an immortal vessal. This pretty much is what Ardyn is. What Bahamut didn't predict was that this twisted Ardyn - so much that he couldn't grant him kinghood. He also didn't predict how far Ardyn would go. I have no defense for ancient Bahamuth, though.

[@thedragonkingseraphbahamut]

That's why Bahamut himself already knew Ardyn would go this far that's why he talked with him being the Sacrificial Lamb.

[@TLiebCNV]

Bahamut has blue eyes with eyelashes like sora from kingdom hearts. In kh3 sora is able to use the ultima weapon and he uses swords like Noctis but I’ve noticed sora floats in ultimate form just like bahamut. Also in the secret ending yozora puts sora in a crystal. I remember in the ardyn DLC I had read that bahamut vanished into the crystal. Idk I do believe sora is bahamut I see too many similarities. Nomora must have planned something out with this when he was still in charge of versus 13. But now if my theory is right, we might see it into fruition for future kingdom hearts games/verum rex

Some people won't believe that, but those don't care about the game, because the story was lacking. But the stuff beyond that? That is some deep lore. And most people love to get the story thrown in their face. But me, as A Dark Souls/Bloodborne fan, is 'used' to reach down beyond the lines in the story if a game.

[@luigicrisci7637]

These fan theories are awesome, and I really wish they could be even partially confirmed, but unfortunately they're never going to be. There's one crucial flaw in all of this, and it is that Eos doesn't exist in the FFXV Universe: the one-winged entity we see in paintings and in the logo of the game is just the ORACLE, and this is confirmed when Lunafreya rests in the exact same position on the Lucis throne and Noctis is added to the artwork alongside her. Other "minor" flaws in the theory are the painting of "Eos" in Kingsglaive is actually the very same painting of ETRO in Versus XIII trailer, the word "Pyreburner" which is never used in the original japanese text, the fact that the crystal holds the soul of the "star" (the japanese word for "star", hoshi, identifies any celestial body, even planets). The only thing that this theory got straight is the Ravatogh being the place Ifrit came crashing down. Hats off to you and to the original author on reddit, all of this is magnificently written and told, but the thing is the very pillar of this theory (the existence of Eos in FFXV) is missing.

I still think that Ravus is Bahamut. He is the only summon it makes a point to show up close (specifically his blue eyes, the same color as Ravus's) Then in the battle with Ifrit, there are two scripted summons, Shiva (Gentiana) and Bahamut (Ravus) the only two who wore human disguises and meant something to Noctis (as Noct nods in understanding with Bahamut) Ravus aslo wears the Knight's glove that resembles Bahamut's clawed hand (The place Noctis was told he must die) It would make a lot of sense because Ravus and Bahamut shared the goal of preparing Noctis for the thrown and Ravus made a big deal out of making sure that the new king was ready for his fate. Please address this theory. It would make for a good discussion.

The way he told Noct about his fate and how he had to sacrifice himself rubbed me the wrong way anyway.

And while the choice of who is the villian is is up to you to decide, Pez does a good job at explaining why Bahamut is the bad guy.

Eos never existed!

Final Fantasy Peasant I Am So Glad I Am Not The Only One Who Thought Of This Theory

[@test-mm7bv]

the lore that you explain is amazing. ffxv would then have been the most incredible game story of all time.

[@chapachuu]

If it wasn't for this channel, I would think FF15 is shit. This theory, and your other related theories, really explain a lot and make for a MUCH better story than the one we were barely given.

Lightning Farron quote "The Brightest Lights cast the darkest shadows."

Blue Velvet I thought that was from Kingdom Hearts

[@SorasShadow1]

I already had a beef with Bahamut for the bullshit he put the Lucian line through for their mistakes but given this potential context I think it would fix a lot of the blank spots I've been dealing with. Now, if only the game could've told us this outside of those tiny ass text boxes that I can't read cause the font's too small. Thanks for another great theory, even if I had to slow down the video to understand your rapid-fire summary!

[@Hoffanheim]

So it's the same problem like Kingdom Hearts 2 that we shouldn't kill because we make all worse so let us kill by them is a better idea?

[@darkyozora1222]

Still can’t believe we got robbed of a chance to run the fade with bahamut after the suffering he put noctis and ardyn through and ik noctis is mad as hell rn over this as well

[@imyournme6632]

So basically Ardyn when he was the hero he absorbed the entire epidemy and that resulted in him becoming bad.

[@MemoriesInMonochrome]

*Yes.*

[@JadedSpartan719]

If FFXV is so bad, then why are we still talking about it almost a year later! Food for thought mates, food for thought. 😊✌️

[@jkbobful]

probably because the theory's are more interesting than that story that was told

[@Emperor-Soul]

sounds about right

[@michaelvidal831]

I think most people are too dense to realise what actual deep stories do for observers. Where are the theories for other RPG's? And how far do they go? Final Fantasy always has the most thought provoking details throughout the story in each title. Nobody's satisfied but everyone still in love

[@stormcutter59]

Because it had so much potential? Because it was such a dissapointment to what it was talked about as being? Also because their is actually interesting story elements that the game still had that are worth talking about. And I can admit that while still being dissapointed in the game as a whole. Their is interesting shit in this half finished bitch of a game. To me that goes to show the games wicked potential.

[@dantefarmer7430]

Well that logic is incredibly flawed.

Just here to see the end where he says...Kupo!
