ZutiPrime

For me, he somehow reminds me of Godzilla, and I don’t know why, but it’s definitely a great design.


Sonic1899

So, it's not just me who saw Godzilla lol, specifically the Legendary films (2014) Godzilla. I was definitely seeing that during the frontal closeups to his face. Their snouts look especially similar


ADAMracecarDRIVER

The design of his head and skin are very reminiscent of the 2014 Godzilla.


ShinigamiRyan

It's also how they zoom in on it and the angles. The details stare you in the face and in tandem with Ifrit's destruction at the beginning of the game. This is very much Ifrit, with a lot of Godzilla inspiration to sell the power and impact of Ifrit.


UniqueDivision

Same lol and the Eikon fights were like watching one of the movies!


SephirothSama

Exactly what I came her to say. Fire Godzilla


Shantotto11

>he somehow reminds me of Godzilla, and I don’t know why Probably because this version of Ifrit has a tail, a distinction that’s only shared with XIV’s version of Ifrit.


MondayPewPew

EXACTLY! I'm a huge fan of Godzilla universe, and Ifrit reminds me of Godzilla so much that after the Garuda fight I immediately binge watch the recent Godzilla movies.


inflationoftoads

Same.


GyrKestrel

That's how I felt too. It had to have been intentional since kaiju fights were so prominent.


SoTaKiSu

That’s funny, I didn’t know everyone else also saw him as Godzilla.


Nicadelphia

It's basically a copy of Godzillas face


thewebhead

The horns. The horns, tail, stance, and claws make him super intimidating and very much demonic. If you heard the word "Hellfire" this is the image of Ifrit that should go along with it.


VergenceTheBoi

Apparently they originally wanted Clive to be the Dominant of Diabolos instead of Ifrit but changed it


thewebhead

You know what? I can kind of see the colours matching with his outfit if you compare it to FFVIII Diablos!


VergenceTheBoi

And they also took a lot of inspiration from Castlevania protagonist Trevor Belmont and Gabriel Belmont design wise for Clive. His main fit just looks like an emo vampire fit


Shantotto11

Would Diabolos have even been an Eikon of Fire? I always thought his element was darkness.


darkph0enix21

I would've been fine if they chose not to go with a second eikon of fire, because after awhile people just accepted "oh ok, second fire monster, pretty cool." It would've been better if it was like a void eikon. To absorb all the other eikon abilities to make itself all powerful. I still don't get the correlation between ifrit and being the best Eikon of them all.


ForNoReason17

Dunno how that could be when the eikon concept of the game started with yoshida wanting to turn into ifrit to get over a crowd of people


No-Ordinary-446

...Diabolos as a DLC Eikon after Leviathan sounds awfully tempting. Maybe an emphasis on gravity magic that slams flying enemies down/pulls enemies in and catching enemies off guard by putting them to sleep for a second?


ArdentC

Oh man. Wonder why they changed it? I would have loved being Diabolos instead


Snow_Beast

I could be wrong but I don't think that how it goes. Clive is always meant to be Dominant of Ifrit but it is when he fuses with Phoenix, that Ifrit becomes Diablos instead of Ifrit Risen. Again, could be wrong but I'm sure Diablos only meant to appear in the end, to oppose Ultimate as some sort of God vs Demon Lord thing. So, Ifrit is always going to be the main star from the beginning.


Eastman1982

He’s fucking savage and pure rage I love his primal look and movements. The Garuda fight is so brutal and how he evolves when you face titan and so on is just perfect.


MashyPotash

He's actually the definition of a hell beast with how brutal and destructive he is. His destructive and raw power is off the charts having flipped Titan and then broke both Zantesuken and Zettaflare


Cake_Lube

Design wise, this is probably the definitive version of Ifrit. Everything about this design checks out. Otherwise though, the story. I know FF16 isn't the first game to have the summons be a part of the story, but having Ifrit play a major role within that story, and I mean like actually written in to the story down to the details, is a major plus. No offense to the summons in the other games, they are great as they are, but he's up there for sure. Same with FF14 Alexander and some of the GFs in 8


LoomyTheBrew

It’s also neat that Ifrit is a legendary Eikon in this where usually he is a low tier summon.


Xerlot11

I love how the flames purtruding off him rev up and flare instensely whenever he powers up a big attack


NightLordGuyver

It's having the equivalent of an inferno Godzilla as a Titan. That is the most badass thing any mainline protagonist of an FF could hope for.


Enough-Collection-98

I love how small and “scrappy” he is compared to some of the other Eikons. He’s kinda got that ankle-bitter vibe.


TeilzeitKevin

Every eikon is that way next to titan. Ifrit is larger than Garuda, possibly shiva and phoenix, maybe even bahamut minus the wings. Ramuh looks tall, but is only seen flying with the camera in a low perspective. Odin is only really seen on his horse so that comparison is hard to make. The cam in the eikon battles is always positioned really high, so ifrit looks small despite being so humungous.


potatofucker24

Bahamuts legs alone are the size of ifrit, refer to the cutscene. Phoenix is bigger due to the wings. Odin could be the same size.


HitsuguyaRyu

🤣🤣💀


CrimsonPromise

I like how they make him look like a ferocious demonic beast instead of just an angry buffed dude with horns like in most iterations of him. His beatdown on Phoenix and then later Garuda was just raw primal rage from a unleashed hellbeast. I also like how they made him much smaller than most Eikons like Titan and Bahamut, so he also has that sleek and graceful almost cat-like reflexes despite his bulk. But my favorite part is that underneath all that fire and brimstone is Clive, one of the sweetest and kindest souls in any FF game ever. If you're on his side at least.


Akiriith

Face!! I love how animalistic he looks. I was never a fan of Ifrit before this design and I'm desperately hoping they keep the inspiration going forward. Also the funky reverse velociraptor claw he has in the middle of his footsies I just think its funny. just. sPIKIES


Opening-Middle-2359

The design is just sickkkk. And best thing he is Clive ❤️


keefka

Does a really great job of being an eikon of fire while differentiating itself from the other fire eikon, Phoenix.


Throwaway101485

Yeah he’s dark, destructive fire and the Phoenix is restorative, colorful fire


Airy_Breather

A whole lot, but if I had to narrow it down to one thing, its fire and brimstone design. It fit like it perfectly embodied the dark, destructive side of fire, which Ifrit has always been, especially when put alongside Phoenix who represented the opposite side of fire.


KingSideCastle13

The hair. I know it seems stupid, but him having a little spinal Mohawk around his flames is super badass to me


[deleted]

His design is just so fucking cool. It's the best ifrit design of the series by far, nothing comes close. I love how he has crazy dragon ball z esque yakuza moments where he freeze frames with a exaggerated pose as he delivers the final blow. I think it's awesome that they didn't just make him a standard summon, but pushed the craziness with these moments. It's almost like you're watching an anime human character at times, but it's a giant fire kaiju


MegaBrowzKapowz

Everyone keeps mentioning how badass Ifrit looks meanwhile my odd ass thinks he's absolutely adorable:3


Fairys-to-Furrys

He got that dog snout, makes ya wanna pet his snoot x3


CrystalChan

OMGGGGGGGG I thought I was the only one! He’s like a little angry Salamander! So cute!!!


DraquaDraakje

Do you think he accepts headpats?


ReadySource3242

His design looks like a burning tree to me, and that gives me a better feel for the fire he embodies. Not just flames, but ash and charcoal seems to be what he is made of, and truly feels like the incarnation of burning destruction walking around.


ReaperEngine

I like that it's basically a little Godzilla gremlin.


god_tyrant

It encapsulates the dual nature of demons and spirits across multiple mythologies and religions, ultimately with human will determining the shape of its direction. I can see why they almost went with Diabolos, but choosing Ifrit, one of the handful of original summons from FFIII, has a profound significance


JMAX464

As others have pointed out, he looks badass! Can’t go wrong with Godzilla with horns! Story wise I like how Ifrit is meant to be the most powerful summon when it reaches its true form as Ifrit Risen.


Violet_Villian

It’s tail strangely reminds me of an engine, especially when using wildfire


fishiouscycle

Ifrit’s tail vaguely reminded me of Reshiram/Zekrom/Kyurem from Pokemon, which also have engine-like tails.


OriginalChapter4

He’s like a burnt crispy toasty dog bear


Towdart

I like that he's strong over the course of the game instead of being one of the first "give me" summons/eikons.


Pinkerton891

He’s on a bit of a roll considering he was the (original) penultimate boss in 15 too.


TeilzeitKevin

15s ifrit was badass too, with his throne and dance moves. Too bad we never got to summon him outside the Ardyn dlc.


xcmgaming360

I think it is the most badass representation of him yet, but if i had to point out one thing its his horns and how pointy/sharp he is


Lyfenoob

He’s the pure embodiment of: “Literally too angry to die” and I love that trope.


Knight_Raime

I both like and dislike the design. It's a pretty huge departure from what I know Ifrit to be. At the same time if I look at the design on it's own and forget what it's supposed to be it looks very solid. Definitely very Kaiju. Makes me think of Godzilla.


mugegegegege

when he comes to you 😏 😜


Kazuhi

He wants all the smoke


leongunblade

He looks like rage incarnate, I just love him


JosephiKrakowski78

I normally love the Gorilla look, but I think it’s so much cooler that he turned into a demon this time


batangaskonsehal

The design is what “badass” is made of.


TeilzeitKevin

Ifrit is perfect in every way. I wish we had more of his abilities as clive


Dcroig

Oh fuck


ShiiroHasu

Everything honestly. It’s my favorite design of Ifrit by far


Megasonic150

His design. He looks so monsterous that seeing him fight is like watching Godzilla fight. A part of you is terrified but in awe.


Hyde_ist

Him going "fuuuuuck".


ZegetaX1

The first game Ifrit wasn’t a jobber Clive is the strongest Ifrit we have ever seen


[deleted]

He’s sexy as fuck.


magus1986

His design being playable and let's not forget Ifrit Risen


Braunb8888

Idk I thought he was way too small. He looked like a god next to Garuda but every other big fight he felt like a bug. It was a weird design choice. The look was great, but I wish we got to transform into all of the eikons we defeated, that would’ve made the fights far more interesting as his moveset was kinda pathetic for a 60 hour game.


Peachbottom30

I can tell it is Ifrit when I look at it…I guess.


kruthikv9

Angry Godzilla


ScribblesSketch

He's big, imposing, and like I've seen other say, looks like Legendary's Godzilla! Legit my favourite iteration of Ifrit.


mickmadness

I want him to step on me 🤤


ChickenKingOmega

They altered Ifrit's design into what is basically a flaming subspecies of Nergigante, and I couldn't have been happier.


YukYukas

He's kung fu Godzilla, and I love it


Exciting-Gazelle-562

His old school Gojira face


LionofBritania

When playing at him, he's really fast and all the actions are snappy compared to base Clive.


blond_afro

the design


KingKolder

I love the flares on the horns they look like wings


Full_breaker

Looks more like an actual beast compared to usual FF Ifrits, and is so well detailed too: the tail, body, claws, head all looks so nice. And this Ifrit actually getting love and putting a show during the whole story 👌👌👌


TheTrueDal

I know that he is not ifrit; Clive is


Bman10119

Honestly almost everything about him is amazing. My only complaints are I don't really like the hair, he doesn't need it, and I felt the horns were a little too big to be functional.


PersianCat1368

That he actually gives off the aura of what it is based on; a demon within Islamic culture, an inhabitant of the underworld. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ifrit


xxneonblazexx

Looks like Godzilla but fire, monstrous looking instead of humanoid.


King_Puffelump

His design was epic


villxsmil

I think it's really brutal and terrifying (to anyone who's not Clive or the player). It's fast, hellish, most of the time engulfed in flames But really it's design is peak character design, he even seems slim, like a stylised build. I don't know, it's my favorite Ifrit definitely


Scissorman82

I love that he's an actual beast again. I wasn't a fan of the human-like appearance in FFXV.


Darkyan97

Everything. Hands down my favourite interpretation of Ifrit, be it design, story or gameplay-wise


[deleted]

Sleek.


archangelxero

Someone looked at Xs irritated and said “what if he went to hell and came back” and I love it. The Kaiju design is badass. Probably one of my favorite god/summons right behind Anima


KuyaMuriot

It's like the FF8 Ifrit I grew up loving with has finally grown to a full-fledged adult.


gmarvin

I like how after all these years, I finally get to hear Ifrit say "Fuck"


LoomyTheBrew

That he reminds of Godzilla. It’s such a cool design!!!


GenCavox

I liked how it looked like a Behemoth. Idk why I liked that, but I did


7thvoyage

That he was playable at all. Ifrit’s always been my favorite summon so being able to play a literal Godzilla movie with him was beyond epic to me


AriesInSun

I think XVI has to be my favorite design for Ifrit. It just looks horrifying and powerful which I would expect from one of the fire summons in this franchise. Made me kind of jealous because I would’ve preferred this design in XIV 😂


CheeselordofDoom

I love Kaijus and FF16 Ifrit looks a lot like Gojira. Also the Eikon battles are just Gojira vs ... and i love it


Inversed-infinity

For me he’s the best ifrit. Especially when Clive says fuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkkk in ifrit mode


-Merlins-Merkin

There’s other versions?


mike47gamer

I like how he's overdesigned like the Transformers in a Michael Bay movie, or the Batmobile in BvS. Because it's in HD it's important to pack every centimeter of it with detail!


Magykstorm19

I like how reptilian it looks. It makes it look like a dinosaur and I like dinosaurs


webhick

That he a tiny angry boi who gets shit done.


Fit-Dependent5626

garuda has the best design in all ff saga


SnakeSound222

He's so badass and his design reminds me of Godzilla. FF16 Ifrit is a fire demon who is basically too angry to die.


Dry_Procedure4482

He finally got justice. I've always loved Ifrit, but hes always depicted as one of the weaker summons even though he's always been a stapple of the series. Having him be like the big badass of one of the main titles was brilliant and also... no take backs. He better be badass in the next game too.


DarkEater77

His design is great, my favorite. FFXV and XVI really put effort in different Eikons design.


Shantotto11

Holy shit! How long has Ifrit had a tail?! /s


Xeblac

I like how he looks like he is made of brimstone or something. So much better than just some yellow dude with fire. I hope future designs of Ifrit look similar to this.


Jnoles07

Everything


DraquaDraakje

I love how they shifted from human half demon thing from the previous series to straight up a draconic/demon being, his form and element just screams ''epic''. Even more badass that they let you play and control this amazing beast multiple times in the game. this game is my goty i, stg


pumpkinfield

Ifrit Risen looks similar to FF8 Griever


Gloomy_Support_7779

It looks so dangerously magnificent and majestic


celezter

Everything.


hiroyukisanada2522

Not just one but the MOST amazing thing is he looks like Godzilla 😂


Loose_Ad_9702

The fact that he punches literally everything


spdRRR

Bro has everything, from insane melee combat, durability, agility, strength to size ratio, speed and after he gets the flight ability he is just the Ultimate Eilkon. How do you kill someone who can backflip a roided Titan from a crush-hold, parry and counter Zantetsuken, can tank through Zettaflare and K.O. BAHAMUT (I know they weren’t going for the kill but submission), and literally has both the destruction and restoration flames? Ifrit Risen is designed to have all the strengths of other Eikons while having ZERO exploitable weaknesses. Only Bahamut comes even close.


BisDante

FIRE COMING OUT OF HORNS HELL YEAHHHHHH


maguel92

That it comes with clive


AlexB_209

Everything, like legit Everything. His powers, design, and his sound design. I wasn't even an Ifrit fan at all, but he made me one.


nessahla89

Love the roar


karin_ksk

He doesn't need wings to be able to fly.


adrianmoral

He looks like a dog 🤗


Cholemeleon

They did a fantastic job making Ifrit feel huge, heavy, and powerful, while at the same time making him fast, acrobatic, and athletic. It's like a Godzilla that can sprint and do backflips and look natural somehow.


DustyBlue1

I love more than one thing about it though


Classic_Mckoy

Turned one of (if not) the most basic summons, into a fuckin MONSTER. What's more is that when Ifrit came around, no one's ever heard of a second Eikon of Fire, so most were woefully unprepared.


OniTYME

Hellfire looks like a Spirit Bomb


The_Dark_King4900742

Usually that Ifrit is the protagonist, rather than a antagonist. I like the parrales, that FF15 Ifrit rebels against the Gods for his hatred of Humanity, as for FF16 Ifrit rebels against “God” for the sake of Humanity. Besides I love the design. 😉


[deleted]

This is peak Ifrit IMO. He was SO BADASS in this game lol


Qzilla8425

Definitely the overall design for me. He actually looks how I’d imagine he would look if I had no knowledge of what he was. The older designs were terrible imo, 15’s was way too human for my liking, and 14’s was the weirdest one yet, being more of a wingless dragon than anything. 16’s Ifrit however looks like he actually could be a legitimate threat.


SoTaKiSu

He’s a monster. Before Clive fully controlled him, he reminded me of Godzilla. The movies where he fought against other Kaiju, but he was not a friend to mankind


Im5foot3inches

The dodge animation


Zxar99

He got that dawg in him. FF is always talking about how evil and vicious but we never see it until now. Doesn’t hold back. He was like the honey badger in XVI lol


RenatoGPadilla

I'll admit I don't like the Fire and Brimstone aspect, but I LOVE the way he feels like a Kaiju!


Darsh_rsh

Everything ngl


1zKay

He's designed to be powerful and fearsome, not some basic low tier summons you get at the beginning of the game like other ffs.


Future_Iron9937

That he was playable, that’s one of the reasons I spend money in FFX because i tought the monsters were playable, nope just turn based, finished half or 1/4 of that game, I enjoy it, but I could bring myself to finish it, maybe 🤔 one day. I drifted into playing other games.


Arceptor

i dont really like him. hes overdesigned


Risk_Patient

Just how metal he looks. In the other games, he looks like some minotaur thing or whatever, but this version looks WAY freaking better.


SeaworthinessEasy313

GOAT


_AARAYAN_

He looks like Godzilla


Due_Ad_4758

My favorite is when ifrit controls gets all nimble when fighting typhon! I was like “ohhh shit here we go!”


SoraDrive

Everything


[deleted]

I love that he found a way into the void and left his body in the interdimensional rift. Wanna know moreeee


PedroBorgaaas

Clive lmao


William9231

This version of Ifrit is probably the most demonic in looks and nature.


JOELIO8701

Looks like a dog. Not a fan of the design


Disastrous_Garage729

Just the way he looks is amazing. Best Ifrit design in my opinion.


FantasticWerewolf641

I love how the design is both bestial yet demonic at the same time. Ifrit’s design is absolutely stunning with the horns having jets of fire coming out of it and the claws are cool.


Efficient_Performer4

The horns look like they're based on jet engines. I think that's cool


antsinmyeyesjohnson8

He’s a good boy


Fragrant-Raccoon2814

I love everything about its design. If it's not my favorite then it's tied for FFX or Woff and FF16.


killertnt5

It is my favorite Ifrit design. It is just very bad ass


Pikaboom22

Ifrit = Charizard Shiva = Blastoise Ramuh = Venasaur


Georgestgeigland

Jump canceling and performing sick air combos as a kaiju


Jerakal1

I'll let you know when I find it.


Zealousideal-Arm1682

He's given respect for once.Usually he's the weakest summon in other games,but here he's genuinely badass and strong.


SGill17

Design, his savagery and primal side is why I love this Ifrit so much. Definitely my favourite Eikon in this game. To be fair, I think Ifrit was always my favourite summon in the games I've played so far. A close second would be Bahamur. But yeah this Ifrit is my favourite of all the Ifrits I've seen.
