Final Fantasy Sprite comparison

Final Fantasy has spanned 20+ years, with coverage over a wide variety of consoles right now. The graphics hae always managed to remain one of the key updates in the series thus far. The enemy/character sprites found in the game are simply amazing for their respected times, and continue to get better with each passing year.
What this page is about is what I want to call a sprite comparison. Being I am named after the lord of Dragons; Bahamut, I thought I would go with him as my character.

Bahamut in etymology

Bahamut, in ancient Arabian mythology, is an enormous fish. Upon Bahamut's back stands a bull with four thousand eyes, ears, noses, mouths, tongues and feet called Kujuta. Between each of these is a distance of a 500 years. On the back of Kujuta is a mountain of ruby. Atop this mountain is an angel who carries the plains. These plains consit of three separate areas. The first is six hells. Above these levels of hell is the earth, and then above that is seven heavens. It is said that the grand scale of this beast was to prove the infinity that God can produce.

Bahamut in modern culture

In modern times, with the advent of Dungeons and Dragons ®, Bahamut became the lord of all dragons. He is a Platinum dragon, benevolent in his ways. He is placed opposite of another ancient Arabian beast Tiamat.
In the Final Fantasy series, Bahamut is found most times as a powerful summon. Until the induction of Final Fantasy VI in 1994, he was the most powerful summon in the game. His main attack is Mega Flare, a powerful, non-elemental ray of energy that is shot from his mouth.
In Final Fantasy VII, (1997) Bahamut had different brothers, so to speak added. These were known as Neo Bahamut, and Bahamut Zero. In Advent Children we witness the rise of a new form, called Bahamut Sin. And finally in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Bahamut is joined with Bahamut Fury.
Bahamut has appeared in every major series title with the ecceptions of II and XII. (Bahamut appears in XII in name only) He has also found his way into many of the series spin offs, and was a summon in the film Advent Children.
