Final Fantasy IV: Bahamut

Yesterday I finally pulled off my first death in this playthrough of Final Fantasy IV. I remember Bahamut being a real jerk and having to collect all the loot from his dungeon and then leave coming back later to kill him after really twinking up in the final dungeon. Everything else that I remembered being hard has been easy this time around so I just walked up and started punching him like he was a joke. He did his countdown and then hit my whole team for two to four times their maximum health. KABOOM! I actually don't think I'm going to bother killing him at all. My current plan is just to enter the final dungeon and see if I can win.
