Bahamat is derived as a strong opponent which forced the ememies to attain their full potential as ifrit demolished his movements referred to the fusion with joshua over the dragon which defeated him once in for all. This was a great feat as their attacks were well defined to inspect the power depicted with a particular force hidden in the two personas fighting bahamut.

They ruin all the good moments with some of the most baffling music choices people complained about FFXV having more then 1 music genre but at least the major bosses didn’t have techno music playing. This fight in peculiar was less epic and just so stupid it is funny but impossible to take seriously.

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.

This game really should’ve let you play as more Eikons. The points where you control Phoenix are so strong but you only get to do it twice.

23:00 Behold…!

Super Gay Fire God Super Ifrit Incest Risen!

Emily

If you think about it if Annabella was a good mother. Not even a good person just a good mother she would’ve had three Eikons (and Torgal)

no reason it needs to be this long

Its honestly fucked up how ultima controlled everyone and everything so smoothly.
Even for those that knew of his existance and his control could not stop the fact he manipulated them.
Dion knew of the change thay crept in his kingdom…and at this point knew of Ultima….even upon revealing himself ultima still managed to manipulate him….pushing his emotion to the brink and causing this fucking epic fight lol
Ultima knew exactly how to control and manipulate each dominate no matter what.
For Dion and Clive it was their mental and emotional states….kinships and loyalties.
Hugo was love and power….a desire to be constantly stronger and to have a lover of depth.
Benedicta and Odin (cant spell his name XD) was power and bonds of relationships. Her ties in hugo…cid…one might say “her sisters” as well. Along with a profound attachment for the bond of mother and child…family….
Joshua was his protective nature and eagerness for knowledge. Seeling to always know more of his world and enemies while trying desperately to protect he lost once already.

Unfortunately as we dont see yerribly much with Jill or Cid one can only assume they might fall into one of the respective slots with the others. I honestly place an assumption of Jill in a similar catergory of Dion and Clive. And Cid with Joshua.

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.

I never played this game, but wow. This fight is better than what’s in movies. I googled this to find out if it’s the final boss/end of the game. I’m shocked that it isn’t!

This game is a f_ing masterpiece

23:03 Dante from DMC4 “HAH! Check it out! Its got wings!”

This is the most exemplary video for the genre of “movies as games” I’ve ever seen. Super epic

Crazy how Ben Starr didn’t win best VA

There wasn’t any explanation why it is the mother crystal bloomed like a flower like that.

Chill fight

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

Bahamut throws a buncha bahablasts

When you put DMC and God of War into one game.

To me this shows just how powerful Bahamut is. Becuase it took Ifrit-Pheonix tag team to take him down

I cannot believe this isn’t even the final boss

I love that they finally painted out the summons the way we all imagined them as kids playing ff, these boss battles really did every one of them justice, don’t get me started on the soundtracks as well 😮‍💨

“And there was more game after”

to bad characters and story were kinda meh . least music an fights were dope 7/10 game overall in my opinion

This just might be the best boss battle in gaming history

I mean I know he is the hero and all but there is not a snow balls chance in Ifrits hell that Ifrit could beat bahamut KING of the dragons/summons. Yeah I never played this game more then likely won’t but I still call it how I see it, No way this happened outside a fever dream.

Me to my fiance: Let me just do this boss fight real quick and then we can leave. Shouldnt be more than 10 minutes.

Me 1 hour later: Almost done!

Similar fight to naruto game.

It could be a coincidence, but this Zettaflare is very similar to the Final Blast Tempest Neo-Zextole does in the Guyver anime.

FFXVI critics: The gameplay is just a bunch of menial sidequests with action combat that lead up to big movie cutscene boss fights where you just spam buttons! The movie cutscene boss fights where you just spam buttons:

It was incredible.
Granted, it was too over the top when they escalated to f*ckin space, but it was awesome nonetheless.

2 vs 1😏

I like how grounded this game started then 30 hours later I’m having a DBZ kaiju battle in outer space, what a ride

this is the best 50 mins in any game ive played it was fan fucking tastic

This would be even more incredible on PC, I hope it gets a PC release at some point.

Dion is an incredible character and this fight was the best I’ve ever experienced in a game.

Before watching: Damn this is longer than I remembered, lemme skip to the best part.

47:39 later: It was all the best part

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.

I thought the Titan boss battle was sick, but when I got to the Bahamut fight, I was simple speechless. And the reunion and merging of the Phoenix and Ifrit was epicness.

notice how she says “it’s you”

solid chance she doesn’t even bother to remember clive’s name. has been what, 18 years since she more or less sold him into slavery

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*

My phone overheated and turned off watching this video.

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.

This was the biggest “hold my beer” moment in the game. I remember when my husband (who was behind me in progress) fought Kupka and he came to find me and just said “fuck” with really wide eyes. I had completed Bahamut already so I told him “oh no, just wait”. A few days later I heard him downstairs playing this fight and screaming like a fangirl at a Taylor Swift concert 😂😂😂😂 Dion is such a phenomenal character.

THIS NOT WINNING GOTY IS AN ABSOLUTE SIN UPON MAN!!! 😭🙏💯

This generation only care about epic graphics , action and blink blink
Old FF JRPG games are have different field and can’t be compare with this one
They become 2 different games and gameplay in category
I wish they make new names for this game instead using FF games series

Things in this game goes from DMC to DBZ real quick

I gotta say, what the hell is Jill doing not priming this whole fight even though at points it looks like Bahamut may kill them both at the crystal? They needed Shiva’s help tbh

Silvestre wasn’t the threat in Sanbreque but it was Olivier, he was created by Ultima to try manipulate Dion

Honestly i‘ve never seen boss fights like in this game anywhere else. Not even GoW can measure up to the sheer ridiculousness of FF16! The game might be average apart from them but the kaiju fights alone make it worthwhile for me. Also glad I‘m playing it in japanese, meets the anime vibe even better.

This Boss fight was a truly amazing experience, I really didn’t think there would be another boss fight in the game that is comparable with Titan and in my opinion this one is even better.

I guess Asura’s Wrath did get a sequel. Neat.

If Pokemon had just transitioned to 3d gaming like Final Fantasy did…

Eat your heart out, Sonic Frontiers :3

Why did they add the QTEs? Why not make it into an actual cutscene?

As a kid growing up with squaresoft. I don’t know what I’m even looking at anymore.

Did ff16 just go full DragonBall? I miss the depth of ff games. Also the airships.

Someone’s played Panzer Dragoon… Also maybe a bit of Asura’s Wrath in there.

This battle was so fantastic that after I finished playing it, I came to Youtube to watch it again. I just couldn’t have enough of this.

Best boss fight ever.

I don’t understand what Primogenesis is.

Hardest fight especially on arcade

Man this fight really dragged out, just wanted it to end 😂

Makes me want a Highschool DxD game

This game is shit overall but cannot deny that this fight is amazing and one of the best in ff series.

Dam screw titan lost fighting Bahamut in space with music that actually fits is where it’s at

Bro when “Away” kicks in, and you’re not even 30% through the fight

the English dubbed sounds weird

Its really similliar to bayonetta 3 , must be the same battle designer

best segment in the game?

If Annabella had show love toward Jill and Clive, she would have 3 dominant under her order and gain everything she wanted with her political schemes

Just beat him, it’s not that hard compared to Titan lost. However, the battle took more than an hours to win 🙄.

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.

Zettaflare? Bro, that’s surpasses regular Bahamut. This is Neo Bahamut or Bahamut Zero power.

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

What the f- happened to the _Final Fantasy_ series? How are people looking at this and thinking “Yeah, this totally fits.”? I wonder if it will ever be rebooted…

Why didn’t Jill help Clive and Joshua here, what the hell was she doing?

Unpopular opinion : I hate this fight, the first Eikon fight is the best, and then it dicrease in quality over and over until the last one who is clearly the worst.

The main issue I have with this one is the last phase when you’re in space, I was always misjudging distances and miss a lot, got hit a lot either and that make this battle last so long, you basically have to wait for your super beam to reload it makes way more damage than you pitiful basic combo.

25:28 is so cool

How named the last song aganist bahamut?

Hahah luv this fight in ff mode is a challenge

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

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.

This fight was absolute epic at Xenogears-Robotech-Ultra Space Dragon level. The fight with Titan was more bad-ass, epic at an intimate level, and this was epic at continental-planetary-space level.

They fucking used zettaflare, though in theory that spell had enough power to destroy earth and likely the moon if not the entire solar system, but so does Sephiroth’s spell in FFVII that actually destroys the sun. But overall the stylish combat, the transformed crystal onto a flower plus the fusion of Ifrit+Phoenix, in full Dragon Ball Z+S style.

The fight with Odin was much cerebral, subtile and the developers wisely elected to not try to overdo it after all prior fights. Also, this game sets the bar for the remainder of the decade and likely the entire PS5 life-cycle. Any game will have a hard time trying to out-do these bosses fights. Hell for FFXVII they either go back to dark or high fantasy with an entirely different combat and boss system. Maybe Devil May Cry 5 will challenge FFXVI’s supremacy.

this game wouldve went so much harder if there wasnt so much goddamn filler and useless pseudo rpg bullshit. CBUIII really should’ve shown some restraint when it came to padding, theres way too many side quests in this game and way too many main quests that feel like side quests (mid’s ship, the part towards the end where otto makes you go fix the problems of every character you ever met before u can progress.)

What the f- happened to the _Final Fantasy_ series? I wonder if it will ever be rebooted…

it looks so boring with all that cinematics.

The music at 11:11 made me tear the fuck up whyyyy

Best boss fight in the game, hands down. Odin’s didnt even come close.

Ifrit and Bahamut look like a pile of shit, there has been better versions of both of them in past games. The particle effects are awesome tho

I got goosebumps when I saw the word “Zettaflare”.

Truly epic fight !!!

This boss fight had me in absolute tears at the end. I lost count of the amount of times I muttered “I’m fighting a fucking dragon… in SPACE!!!” under my breath while giggling like a madman. I felt like I ascended to a different plane fr. If this game doesn’t win game of the year I don’t know what will. Fucking phenomenal! This needs to be displayed in a museum fr.

The amazing thing here is that this AWESOME boss fight spawns out of nowhere because it is from a character you thought it was (and remains) your ally, it’s just he loses his shit, amazing.

this not the same as my game

OST during 9:00 ?

The moment the Eikons fuse. The music. The entire battle from beginning to end. Imagining what Dion was feeling while he fought. The brothers embrace. I’m 41, and this brought me to tears. What an incredible journey this game has been.

If this is one of the platinum req which you need not take any damage. Then how am i gonna do this lol

This was a masterpiece of a scene

this may be the best cinematic fight I have play from any video game.

This dude’s Triangle button is broken lol.

They really made a gay character one of the most powerful Eikons in the game.

And I gotta respect that.

Kudos to the writers for not portraying Dion as a gay stereotype for woke LGBT pandering.

22:06

This whole fight is basically Godzilla and Rodan versus Ghidora. Epic!

Just finish beating this beast. Omg 😳 I had to take a break lol so much to take in

To think Dion was one of the most noble and kindhearted characters in the game, but when he lost control of his powers he really went apeshit. The poor guy must’ve been suffering so much deep inside.

Bahamut glitched on me, and refused to die till I died first. Truly a Sephiroth level opponent 😅

CUM

Je n’arrive pas à éclater les sphères avec Phénix à temps en mode difficile (NG+) si vous avez des conseils svp 😭

So, don’t get me wrong, this year, RE4 Remake was a 10/10 for me. Dead Space’s remake was also fantastic. Hogwars Legacy was well done (but surrounded by controversy). Diablo is a disappointment because blizzard, but a good game. Jedi survivor was pure fun… and Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, is a genuinely AMAZING game.

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! Some of the best written characters, unique boss fights, Dog Combos, Unique set pieces, amazing graphics! AND THE FUCKING MUSIC!

10/10, but, game journalists are still going to give it to breath of the wild, because thats how they be.

So, another thing i noticed, you can actually see fear on Clive/Ifrit’s face when Zettaflare starts to be cast.

When it shows his face as Joshua says “He would burn the world…” You can see Ifrit’s jaw quiver and him shake a tiny bit. The biggest look of “are you fucking kidding me?” Ever.

This freaking game…. Yo

It would more Epic and all over top, when they added shiva and fenrir in the Fight too in the first phase

I highly recommend people to play this game with surround sound, just finished this part

I don’t care about Anabella’s explanations, it doesn’t justify all the horrible crimes she’s committed for her selfish desires and I do not sympathize with her at all.

I was told that this was an epic and awesome fight. All I found was the limits to which my eyes could roll, and push those boundaries further.

Just finished it today! Can’t stop re watching these boss fights though … nothing like it! Perfection.

Kinda curious as to why Jill didn’t jump in as well but whatever, I could see it detracting from the bros teaming up moment

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.

poor mom…..

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

Literally one of the most beautiful fights ever.

48 minutes long?!

If this bahamut had 3 heads it would have been straight up Godzilla vs Ghidora

0:42 Even when in fear for her life she still had an acid tongue. The moment I knew there was no redemption arc coming for her.

That boss fight was some majestic shit ill tell you all that.

Bro… you’re playing in story mode, lol. Wtf man? The game is easy enough on action mode. Great game, but very very easy

I feel like those ridiculous wing designs obscure the brilliant body design

is no one gonna mention how this bitch COMPLETLY bypassed the terraflare press the attack stage????

i dont know whether to be impressed, or annoyed that you can bypass it if youre good enough and i basically just got called unskilled in 14 different languages.

22:49 when Phoenix rises above Ifrit. That crescendo of the choir. Just hit me like a freight train. So POWEFUL.

They should make a Gundam game that is like this. With the same type of story comparing the size of the Gundams to the characters and how they change the environment. Plus the battles as them. Set in a space capsule type world & such. Would be nice.

29:48 anyone remember that scene in Sonic Adventure 2 where Sonic and Shadow stop the space station from falling?

Seems like ff xvi took a page from the asura’s wrath at how to make absolutely insane cinematic battles. Cool.

I do not think Ifrit would have won the fight with Bahamut without Phoenix. This is true even if Bahamut did not absorb aether from the crystal. I think Bahamut is just as strong as Ifrit but has the advantage of flight. How would Ifrit win the entire fight without flying?

5:40 ost?

The moment Clive marched towards Bahamut after seeing Joshua get K.O’d i knew it was on

and here I thought only the mighty Donald could use Zettaflare lol

if you don’t make every boss in your action game feel like a final boss, are you even trying? is it even a modern action game at that point?

“.. & I will do my duty!”

*badass walk straight into gigaflare; tanks it transforming into Ifrit*

That’s some top tier shit

l am having trouble beating this boss as an old man of 68 fingers and thumbs just dont move fast enough lol

Just did this fight today and oh my goodness this is without a doubt one of the best bosses of all time

Gigachad flare

I’m 35 and I’m even had tears a little because of how good and massive battles this game offers to you. Square Enix just made such a great game and now I’m really doubt they’ll make any better. This is both good and bad but I’m glad I live in time like this. Thank you Square Enix.

Some parts of this boss fight gave me a headache

Also thr voicd acting, chef’s kiss

I love the xemnas fight vibes this boss battle had

Best God of War PS2/3 game, Panzer Dragoon game and Zone of the Enders game in one battle

Last move on Bahamut looked like a slight nod to squalls lionhearted limit break dude I busted

she sure does talk big for a person who has a blade aimed for her throat

22:50 the music hit so hard I feel it inside 😵‍💫

FF16 did bahamut the king of the dragons justice took ifrit and the phoneix to beat it

The fact that this game costs the same amount as Gollum should be a crime

What’s the timeline? Where’s sephiroth? They’re both final fantasy right? What’s going on?

Trash of The Kingdom could never

we celebrating anabella death

I genuinely never thought I’d say this, but Clive and Joshua combined are leagues more powerful than Donald Duck and ZETTAFLARE? Does anyone actually understand how POWERFUL these dudes are in that form, we have entered full on anime shit and I’m so here for it 😂😂

Yeah, I can’t beat the gigaflare part not enough time

I know it’s such a bad comparison but I can’t decide which I enjoyed more:

Clive+Joshua vs Bahamut or Kratos+Atreus vs Valkyries

Both were just so badass. And I’ll be back when Peter+Miles vs Venom comes around lol

It’s crazy how the theme at 6:40 is used in every Eikon fight and yet it still fits this scene so perfectly

Does anyone knows where I can listen to the OST?

I looked this up cause Bahamut’s health just stopped going down… it definitely soft locked on me

The fact they fought on th sanbreque flower Dion dad kept giving him , as a battle Field to me is so fucking dope chefs kiss* to it all from Clive finally transforming without struggle to protect his brother with the same power he thought he killed him with to everything to Dion and his dad this part of the game was just EPIC

The way Clive walked up to the giga flare and transformed without asking ifrit for help was epic af

He survived a ZETTAFLARE!?!?

a mix of mundus in dmc1 and fortinbras on onimusha 4 dawn of dreams

Love the music during Phoenix fights so much. Hypest chorus I’ve heard in my life

Crazy to think that Dion is actually one of the only Eikon Dominant’s pure of heart and yet his boss fight goes so extra and beyond

I never thought we’d end up fighting Bahamut in space. That boss battle was amazing

Ngl this is a contender for greatest boss battle in history 🔥🔥🔥

I wonder if any DrakeNieR fans in the audience started shitting bricks when the Mothercrystal turned into a flower.

That shot of bahaumut and the brothers together before the Zettaflare has to be one of the coolest shots of gaming history

Damn this shit was 47 minutes? I was wondering how damn long it took.

Favorite fight in the whole game hands down. Not only do we get the reunion but we also see them fight along side each other.

The fucking acting and music is brilliant!

Bahamut Boss fight > Odin

That last scene kinda sus tho 🤨

So just finished this fight and damn this puts almost every FF final boss to shame, and this isnt even the penultimate boss of this game.

Also can we talk about op this Bahamut is. He knows Zettaflare, has a version of Megaflare the might surpass FF14’s version, has 14’s Terraflare, and he can just casually cast Supernova, a move usually reserved for superbosses or final bosses.

This will go down as one of the best boss fights in gaming history.

similar louisoix vs bahamut in FF14 ARR wow

18:25 I need the name of this ost

Am i the onlyone who thought about nier/drakengard? 😂 6:21

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

Best part of this boss fight was getting to watch that wretched whore Annabella slit her neck at the end.

Ifrit hanging on wall of ice like that’s normal 🤣🤣🤣

I just noticed the Ultima leitmotif at the beginning when Annabella is talking to Clive. They basically told us that Ultima was involved in this scene right at the beginning.

Are you ready? READY!!

I love how Annabella is a spitting example of “every child deserved a parent, but not every parent deserved a child”

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.

23:53
This is where phase 3 starts and the best part of the song kicks in, you’re welcome.

This truly feels like a next gen

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

I paused the game after this and the aftermath…had to recover

My favorite boss fight ever and I been playing games since the NES. Absolutely ridiculous in good way.

Best boss battle of any game ever?

Why do i get wiped out when I’m standing behind phoenix during terraflare?

This fight gave me all that i wanted and expected going into and even more.

I was roaring in my house like I was feeling the power with the brothers my wife had to shut my door

Dion going overboard to the degree that he’d melt a continent out of grief is truly the greatest representation I could ask for. Love it.

While epic as fuck don’t get me wrong, the combat is boring imo. Games like this should be more turn based to fully appreciate an rpg.

I had to pause after defeating Bahamut in the first part. Clive and Joshua uniting had me in tears, I’m just overwhelmed with a feeling of “wtf did I just play”

Best boss fight ever. Damnnnnn!!! I can’t put this game down

I just finished this fight and damn…. I loving these Godzilla fights so much. The music, action, sounds, everything. The voice actors are really good too.

This dude just wont stop too 😭

I’m fighting him rn and his health bar is stuck on low 😂😂

This whole spectacle feels like a final boss. genuinely one of the coolest boss fights I’ve seen and played and there’s also the titan fight that was incredible too. This game is the shit

God damn, has Ifrit always been this powerful to match Bahamut? I know that they’re fused with the Phoenix and all but Bahamut has always struck me as a higher primal being in Final Fantasy.

Or is FF16 Ifrit just on crack.

So fuckin celestial…whole family was in awe lol

Imagine the moment they fused “Answers” kicked in.

nice fight. But damn. Why use the ring that slows time when you get attacked for ez dodge,game is kind of easy already whitout it..

“How can we hope to match such power?”
“By trusting in our own”

God DAMN

This whole thing was so nuts lol. Fighting super charged bahamut, in space, as ifrit and Phoenix fused was pretty hardcore.

Edit: how could Odin even top this?

Edit 2: Odin did in fact, not top this lol

Titan had better gameplay and music but this truly is the most visually impressive boss so far

Am i the only one who finds this compared to older FF in the series, rather… simple. I mean, where is the fun exploring for items and materials, where is the true satisfaction of leveling up and the hit damage numbers really meaning something. In this game early on as a Eikon your already hitting 25000 damage or whatever. It doesnt mean anything to me. I always loved the 9999 damage barrier. This was a true reward after spending so many hours leveling up and getting the best materials. Status ailments, where? Free world exploring, where? Yeah the story is good, great cutscenes. But where is the soul, where is Final Fantasy?

I loved the older FF series, the last good one for me being FFX. But im afraid they have to go with the youth of these days, who have no patience for the older ways and just want action. Very sad, i was hopefull for FFXVI.

The game has its little flaws like itemizations and exploration, but this fight alone is goty worthy. Not sure if there’s a better fight in video game history that exist.

this is what its like to have a little brother btw

Had to take a 2 day break from the game after this boss. It was too intense

The facts that the Ifrit vs Phoenix music reprises while you take control of Phoenix to fight Bahamut is just perfection.

This battle is so inspired by over the top shoot ‘em up games and mecha anime and I love it to death. Shit is too damn cool

One of the best fights in ff history

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…

goty

This fight was a huge reference to the Biblical fight between Michael and the Great Red Dragon!

I just realized the final attack is a refrence to ff14

Bahamut is #2 in my eyes, I’m sorry but Titan was fucking RAW, still Bahamut and playing as Ifrit Arisen were some highlights

“Okay giga flair, it makes sense… Tera flair, reasonable… Zeta flare? Holy fucking shit!!”

Just finished this and I’m speechless.. I’m so excited for the Odin fight and whatever comes after

Update: Odin fight was the worst out of all the Eikons, cool soundtrack though. Final boss felt similar to Bahamut but was cool when he started using all the elements

Just finished this fight I love the spectacle of these fights. It’s my goty locked in nothing is gonna be better for me this year.

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

The music..

This is one of the best 47 minute sequences in gaming history.

47:12 Is no one going to question that Ultima is using the naked form of Barnabas’s mother to motivate him? Not only is Odin’s dominant a simp with mother issues, but he also has a Oedepus complex.

God, I feel that most of the conflicts of ff16 happen because of broken people simping.

I just finished this an hour ago and I really truly feel this is the best boss fight in any game I’ve ever played, I can’t stop thinking about it 😭 Every single time I think this game has shown its whole hand, it finds a way raise the bar again. It’s just incredible.

Developers : “so how over the top do you want this boss battle to be?”

Director : “Yes.”

Where can I find the GOD tier song at 23:00 ? I can’t find it anywhere!

I hated one part of this boss. I’d never have beaten it without the video.

When the orbs are summoned you have a move that isn’t on the menu by holding triangle down.

The moment I saw the move it was one shot.

That part was a turd portion of the fight. Which ruined the experience.

He looks like king ghidorah at the end

In literally any other game, this would have been the final boss fight. Hell, this is more than most games do for the final boss!

what a fucking game omg :/

Qui dopo il consiglio di Marco Merrino?

Sono qui sotto consiglio di Marco Merrino

Bahamut boss battle….Copy Devil May cry 1. Clap clap

Can’t wait to play this game

qui solo per marco merrino

Why people are losing their shit about a barely interactive cutscene…?

The best team ever, Ifrit and Phoenix.

I think I ruined my controller from the pure thrill of bahumuts boss fight

15:39 this is pure pain in NG+ FF difficulty… can’t get this done….

30:26
DRAMATIC FINISH

Can’t make everybody happy

Gtbh as a brother I love this

Someone who played FF7/R, 8, 9, X, 12, 13, I gotta say 16 is hands-down the best final fantasy boss combat ever.

“It’ll be dark, more realistic fantasy, we watched a lot of Game of Thrones to get inspiration for this game” YEAH CUZ I REMEMBER THE ONE TIME JON SNOW AND DAENERYS DRAGON BALL FUSIONED TO FIGHT THE NIGHT KING AND HIS DRAGON IN SPACE

I have not recovered from this I am still stunned and oh my god the last phase music, I have been dying for the whole thing since the trailer first played it.

That Teraflare was ripped straight out of ffxiv down to the neurolink/Joshua shield and I had the biggest grin on my face when I played through it

Kinda wanted to fight annabella after what she did

30:11
They Really pull Louisoix Leveilleur Move in the end

Man Literally become Phoenix and stab Bahamut In the chest before he Completed the calamity

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.

Mmmmmm, to say this is so good would be an extreme understatement. I haven’t the words… 🤯

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

Gotta be honest bahamut beam vfx looked kinda bad

When this ended I was completely speechless… I think this may be the best boss fight I’ve ever played!!

Damn, that’s all I have to say.

Ultima, creator of humans, seems to have no clue how consciousness works or how to “switch” it off. No wonder these “gods” end up getting dicked in the ass by their own creations.

That Zettaflare attack was so huge it made bahamut looks so small next to it, that attack wouldve actually burn the world

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.

30:18 i wish ardyn was around to see that…

16:39 music to my ear

This is the best bloody boss battle in video game history.
From the many phases to Clive & Joshua teaming up, Golden Bahamut making his apperance and showing us a flare even more powerful than Teraflare. (And used by Donald Duck in KHIII)
The insanely epic music. Fighting in godsdamned space, the Eikon fusion that’s clearly a callback to Ifrit and Garuda in FFXIV plus a whole slew of other FF references such as the Louisoix finish from FFXIV and FF7’s Omnislash. EVERYTHING about this fight is perfect.

Anime bullshit just makes everything better

And I thought Cersei was the worst bitch queen ever written… then

Anabelle: hold my boy

The boss have way too much flash, movement of camera etc. Screen always moving and shaking. Can’t tell what’s going on and gives me headache

Hm and what happen when Bahamut win? 😀

man. Golden Bahamut gave me flashbacks lmao

also the defeat cutscene is eerily similar to how Louisoix defeated Bahamut from xiv haha

In my opinion this is the best boss fight in video game history especially when they go in space

IT AINT CLOUD ADVENT CHILDREN FLY THROUGH A FLARE AND SLICE BAHAMUT DOWN THE SPINE THO.

IT AINT CLOUD LEVEL

Are they fighting outside of their planet?

WHY CAN’T WE KILL THAT BITCH OF A MOTHER BY OURSELVES?? THAT BITCH DESERVER WORSE

This is what a boss fight should be like a big struggle

If clive was the pheonix we wouldnt be able to use all the eikons abilities think about it

Where the fuck is cerberus?!

Thats how you make a boss fight

This game is looking fan fucking tastic. 😮 im not a huge fan of the bahamut design tho. Square enix always brought amazing design for bahamut but this one aint it

24:08 Even Clive and Joshua fused decided to do a omnislash. The last time someone did in this style was Jack Garland. Every time i see someone doing this means they are Cloud fanboys

The music was such a nice touch to the many forms of the fight.

29:32 Zetta Flair. That’s definitely 100x more powerful than megaflair .

Wait is Bahumut a Wyvern no arms ?

I like this game just does not feel like a numbered final fantasy in my opinion a lot like Stranger in Paradise i miss the old FF an yeah its only my opinion game play reminds me of Devil may cry or God of War. Still Love Final fantasy 14 as well just the QTE seem a bit much an no Airship or exploring Areas that are not in the main line. Seems there no real Party an where Leviathan did they cut out the Best Summon. I hope I’m wrong about this. I am Psyched Mario Rpg finally getting a remake though.

Godzilla & Rodan VS King Ghidorah

Finally. A Bahamut that eclipses Donald Duck.

A Bahamut that surpasses Bahamut Prime, Niddhog, Hraevelsgr and Midgardsormr.

The most powerful Bahamut in Final Fantasy series

Was Ultima the kid the entire time, or did he shank the kid then took his place at some point offscreen?

Remind me of Godzilla and Mothra in King of the Monsters

29:35

Donald Duck: _You dare approach my level?_
