Final Fantasy 16 - Bahamut Boss Fight (4K)

I agree with everyone when they say this fight was incredible, but can I point out how hard Clive and Joshua reuniting hit me? Right in the feels man...

[@HunterAdkins861]

I actually cried when they hugged. Not even a certain character death in an earlier section of the game made me feel that impact. But them hugging after almost seeing each other so many times before felt so earned and I teared up hard. It felt like a true catharsis for Clive. He finally protected Joshua as the thing he thought he killed him with before. It was the first time his Ifrit transformation took no effort. All for his brother who he loves so much. He needed that hug.

[@enigmavixen3666]

For all you newcomers and non ff fans here, allow me to explain the significance of “zettaflare” so you may understand why us veterans are loosing our shit over this fight. This spell is the absolute strongest spell in, not just final fantasy, but the entire square enix multiverse. It is one QUADRILLION times stronger then “teraflare” (yes, this is an actual canon estimation). To put this into perspective, “teraflare” is what Bahamut used to wipe out the original ff14 universe and “zettaflare” is two whole tiers stronger than that. This is a spell that is destructive on a universal scale. This spell is so absurdly powerful that it cannot be used under normal circumstances and prior to this game, there have only ever been two characters in all of square enix who were able to pull it off. The first one was Airy from bravely default and the second was Donald Duck from kingdom hearts 3, making Bahamut the official third. In Airy’s case, she could only use it after being powered up by an eldritch god who, at that point, had already devoured several thousand alternate universes to obtain that level of power. Here in Bahamut’s case, he used it only after absorbing a crystal that has been storing several thousand years worth of aether in it. Donald is the only exception to this rule (the power of Disney hit different i guess), however he immediately died after casting it so take that as you will… The spell has existed in the the series for a while now but was treated like an myth, something nobody thought possible to achieve until now. The fact that this is the first time it’s been ever been used in final fantasy, and by Bahamut no less, truly makes this fight a glorious spectacle to behold.

[@Evilj82]

Thanks for the explanation. I’m a big ff fan but actually didn’t know the lore behind that . Never played 14 or completed kingdom hearts

[@athenaraines]

For reference on this, if every human being on Earth suddenly exploded with the intensity of the entire global nuclear arsenal detonated in one location, you still wouldn’t have enough energy for even 10% of Zetaflare.

[@cameraredeye3115]

Not only that, but this Zettaflare came from a Bahamut that's been souped up by aether from the Mothercrystal.

[@mikecarol6108]

Unfortunately that's incorrect. Bahamut in the 1.0 version of Final Fantasy 14 used it first, and then they shut the servers down and rebooted the MMO.

But, so far, FF16 truly feels like the only game worthy of the GOTY title so far. This wasnt just a game, it was a fucking experience. The gameplay always feeling fresh. The music. The incredible voice acting from the ENTIRE cast. The story with actually incredible stakes and amazing writing. The music!

@@vincenthammons-kd9du Bahamut here was the strongest creature in the game, for sure. But an incredibly synergizing pairing of Ifrit and Phoenix proved to be a match.

I love the part where the singing starts and Joshua says “your highest ! Stop this !” Then he says “think of your people”

[@lonelystar101]

Clive when Bahamut is too far: shit, can't reach him. *accepts the hit* Clive when Joshua is about to get hit: *jumps higher than ever*

[@renelynvives9266]

I had thought the Titan fight was epic, but this...out of this world. Playing back and forth between Ifrit and Phoenix, and later combining their powers. The music score, the battle scenes...my heart was racing so fast. This fight tops it for me. Even after the fight ends and Clive reunites with his brother, I shed a tear (or several). This is a game of epic proportions. Thoroughly enjoying every minute.

Welcome back for your daily best final fantasy fight ever watch!

[@B3nny56]

".. & I will do my duty!" *badass walk straight into gigaflare; tanks it transforming into Ifrit* That's some top tier shit

[@Ralthazar]

i just finished it and i was like damn this fight is sick already before the fight started lol

[@SpaceTiger90]

Absolute chills of that transition of bahamut and phoenix flying past the clouds and singers saying "Spread your wings and fly! Away!" Goodness me. Tears every time.

[@joshualighttime604]

One of the best fights in ff history

[@dingus4260]

Alright ladies and gentlemen. It’s currently 10:41pm on 01/01/2024. I have made the absolutely horrible mistake of deciding I need to know just how many hit points Bahamut has. Yes. That means that every time you see a small number flash up on the screen for maybe half a second, I am taking on the task of adding all of those numbers up for whatever insanely massive number it turns out to be. I will check back with you guys later, as this particular video I’m commenting on will effectively be my guide to overanalyzing this fight. Wish me luck.

@@christianbertvillote3265 You’re damn right it is. -Seriously tho, why’d they give the duck the power to kill gods.-

So does this mean Donald Duck has the power to destroy the entire world? Because that's what Zettaflare was going to do

[@aguywithgames3135]

@@kingofdragons7 He could have, we were lucky his target was in the sky. Might’ve destroyed the world faster than even the Heartless could’ve.

[@Leonhart_93]

Except that with this one you can actually take it very seriously, it's not an overstatement.

[@emetanti]

Mechanically you could say a few things about it being rather simple, but good fucking god they took some lessons from Ashuras Wrath for spectacle.

[@Sammysnows]

a Teraflare in Cannon of Final Fantasy can annihilate an entire Civilization on the planet the highest Bahamut ability before 16 was Exaflare by Bahamut Fury, which is 1 million times stronger than Teraflare keep in mind a single Teraflare annihilated the entire civilization, even Bahamut Fury had to destroy a moon and use it as a base to charge up Exaflare. A Zetaflare is 1 billion times stronger than Teraflare which means this Bahamut has surpassed any Bahamut in a franchise because a billion times Teraflare is literally like you destroy a whole galaxy before a Bahamut it was a Donald from KH that uses Zetaflare and it completely drain all of his strength

[@shinobirecords2018]

Exaflare was also used by FF14's Bahamut, but to be fair that was in an Ultimate-which by design is an embellished retelling. FF14 still has my favorite Bahamut design-feels very Godzilla, which is also why I like this Ifrit so much-but there's no doubt this is the strongest Bahamut we've ever had

[@phanurujthipboonta756]

The moment that game developer can't decide who should be mc lol except from the final battle this Bahamut battle is out of the world.

[@2mcgee12]

Literally

[@Pup_Majestic]

First. I thought Titan was the best boss fight I've played in YEARS, until this boss fight. Also, holy shit, Part 2 made me so happy. Fucking Phoenix's theme from the start kicking in, and the fact that it is JUST PANZER DRAGOON

[@Pup_Majestic]

And then Ifrit Risen... FUCKING RAD

[@TheMissingLink1]

this fight was one of the best. and Dion was easily one of my favorite characters. so compelling and you just hated to see him go. also - can hollywood take note and see how to write a good character…that just happens to be in love with a dude and it isn’t his entire personality or a major plot point. like cmon now.

[@k.c.simonsen2]

God damn these boss fights in this game are so unbelievably wild.

[@Psnowdog7]

I will never get over how this incarnation of Bahamut is one of only two beings in the *entire* lore, spanning across decades of story, capable of casting Zettaflare. The other one is Donald Duck.

[@ndennant]

An absolutely fantastic mind blowing battle!!!!!!!

[@kitsurobo8357]

Remind me of Godzilla and Mothra in King of the Monsters

[@happyphiri4237]

The music in the cutscene after is amazing alongside the fight itself

This game gives me a mix of Bayonetta, God of War 3, and Dragon Ball experience. Best gaming experience. I feel I am a kid again.

hell throw asura's wrath in there too cuz it reminded me of that as well

The Eikon fighting kinda reminds me of Asuras wrath. lol

[@nicolas_eg]

This game really has a ton of references and the first one comes right in the begginning The ifrit phoenix fight, the way ifrit finished off phoenix surely reminded of a certain Evangelion moment

[@2N3mo001]

Hands down officially my favorite rendition of bahamut. Not to say the reat are bad at all. This one just goes the distance especially taking into account how eikon/dominants work in this game. Dion was a amazing character.
