[edit] Peta Flare

Without a citation to where someone has called Bahamut Sin's attack a "Peta Flare" I am going to remove it Deusfaux 23:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concern

What is the source which says that Bahamut uses a Thermonuclear attack? I am not fully aware of the informational resources that were used to create this page, however, the idea that it is a 'thermonuclear' blast seems ridiculous.

[edit] Name Confusion

In the first sentence, the claim is made that the Knights Templar worshiped the image of "Bahaumut". This is not true. The Catholic Church and Carolingian King of France accused the Knights Templar of heresy, sodomy, and idolatry, amongst other things, and the image of the deity they were accused of worshiping was named Baphomet. "Bahamut" is an Arabic cognate of the Hebrew word "Behemoth", and refers to one of the three great monsters in Hebrew folklore, Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz—one inhabiting the land, one inhabiting the ocean, and one inhabiting the sky.

The word behemoth is Mesopotamian in origin not hebrew 74.236.92.108 19:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bahamut SHIN?

What's this thing about shin meaning tremor? Last I checked, shin was Japanese for "true". Arrow 03:57, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah. I suppose this is where actually knowing the Japanese language and not relying on internet dictionaries comes in handy. :P Arrow 03:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy II

The article mentions that Bahamut is not present in Final Fantasy II. I beg to differ. You can find him in Cave Bahamut on the moon.

The author was referring to the Japanese numbering system. The game you are referring to is referred to as Final Fantasy IV in the article.

[edit] Bahamut in Final Fantasy XII

"In Final Fantasy XII, Bahamut is the name of a large airship and does not appear." this sentance doesn't make much sense, bahamut exists in FFXII, and you DEFINATELY see it. bahamut the dragon doesnt appear but since all original summons of the original final fantasy games have now taken the names of airships, as with the airships, ifrit, shiva, leviathan, etc. its safe to bahamut exists as an airship, significant to the plot of the story. bahamut is a recurring being in the final fantasy franchise.
