There's a moment's hesitation as Sephiroth weighs whether or not divulging another world's methods is in any way crossing a line. Probably not. "Not well," he says after a long moment. "Primarily their methods are using magic to keep them subdued, armor them up for extra protection and unleash them in our direction. It's effective against standard troops; their hides and armor make bullets and swords ordinarily pointless, and their innate magic resistance also hobbling a ranged assault."

Barnabas is likely already well aware of the durability of a behemoth. Covering one in armor would surely make it more obnoxious to deal with.

"They are not so well trained as .. yours, I assume." That was the implication here, wasn't it? This is his beast. "Such a thing as simply guarding a location that did not have the most durable walls to contain it would not happen."

But Wutai did its best! .. Its best wasn't good enough when dealing with active-type SOLDIERs like Sephiroth.

He'd heard of plenty of planets, seen three now, but few overlapped precisely. Plenty of similarities though.. "I might know one other, based on similarities between my planet and theirs. Similar 'divine beings'," there's a touch of scorn to that word, he doesn't think they're divine at all, "Chocobos, forms of spellcraft, certain location names and more. I wonder if they had behemoths."
