Bahamut will play a very important role in the story of the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and it will also serve as a prominent boss and provider of assorted phat loot for us all to seek.

Square Enix published a set of concept art pieces showing the Dragon King himself, and quite a few pieces of the gear he'll drop when slaughtered. That's a rather mean looking axe, right there, and I believe that helmet would fit my character rather perfectly. Who wouldn't have a helm that comes with its own attached earring? Looks like I'll have to put the "little" lizard down.

You can enjoy the art below, and if you missed Final Fantasy XIV, but plan on playing A Realm Reborn, you can check out my The Story So Far weekly column to get up to speed with what happened in the first game.
