Appearances[]

Final Fantasy VI[]

Main article: Bismarck (Final Fantasy VI)

Bismarck is an esper and takes Leviathan's place as the main Water-elemental summon. However, in the Advance and following versions, Leviathan returns as the ultimate Water-elemental summon. Bismarck is obtained automatically in the Magitek Research Facility.

Its summon ability, Breach Blast (also called Sea Song), deals Water-elemental damage to all opponents. Its Spell Power is 58, costs 50 MP to summon, and it is unblockable. As a magicite, it teaches Fire (x20), Blizzard (x20), Thunder (x20) and Raise (x2). At level up, it provides a +2 boost to Strength.

Final Fantasy XI[]

Pteraketos 1 (FFXI) — Bismarck, the Notorious Monster.

Though Bismarck does not appear as a summon, it is the name of a server and a Pteraketos-type Notorious Monster appearing as the final boss of the Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia branch of the Voidwatch quest line. It is fought in Bibiki Bay, and was the debut of the Pterketos family.

Final Fantasy XIII[]

An aquatic fal'Cie, Bismarck dwells within the watery refuge of Gran Pulse's Sulyya Springs. Wary and cunning, the whale-like creature vehemently defends its territory, employing various indirect means to eliminate trespassers.

Bismarck's duty appears to be the slow and painstaking reshaping of the land through water erosion. This is likely the reason for its aggressive defense of the waters it inhabits.

Datalog entry

Bismarck is a fal'Cie that protects the waters and living creatures in the Sulyya Springs. It is seen as a bubbling discrepancy in the water. If it is examined, a cut scene displays and several platforms with enemies and treasure spheres rise out of the water.

Bismarck's model exists on the disc as dummied content, but never appears in the actual game.

Final Fantasy XIV[]

Main article: Bismarck (Final Fantasy XIV)

Bismarck appears in the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward expansion, as the Primal worshiped by the Vanu Vanu tribe, also known as "The White." Bismarck has been reimagined as a "sky-whale" capable of flight with a number of wing-like fins covered in feathers, as well as no visible eyes, and a more ferocious mouth. Accordingly, the boss fight takes place at high-altitudes in "The Limitless Blue".
