Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis

comes out December 13, 2017

Magic, Boating, and Titan! Oh my! Ignis, the bespectacled friend of Noctis, and resident chauffer of the party in Final Fantasy XV is out on his own for this character-specific chapter of the series. In the video, we see Ignis meeting Noctis for the very first time, but it turns out to be a dream he was having while being unconscious in a city in ruin. He is then seen to scale buildings use some sort of grappling hook and fighting enemies with weapons and magic.

Ravus Nox Fleuret, Ardyn Izunia, Caligo Ulldor and the Astral Tital make appearances in this episode, providing dramatic scenes in the trailer. And rather than driving a car, Ignis makes use of a speedboat, hitting the waters as Titan tackles Magitek airships. From the looks of it, it seems that his damaged eyesight will also be explained in greater detail during the episode as well. The trailer video ends with Ignis being told to abandon his duty, and join the other side.

Following Episode Gladiolus‘s metacritic score of 59, and Episode Prompto‘s score of 65 on the same site, a lot is riding on Episode Ignis to really hit it out of the park.

The first Square Enix game I played was Final Fantasy IX way back in the PlayStation 1 days. I fell in love with the story, characters, and music. Since then, I have wanted to continue experience stories like that one, and that's how I became a fan of all Square Enix games. I am one of the people you'll see post articles on the main site. I have been writing news articles for websites like this one for four years now; and before that, I wrote for my village's newspaper, and edited it, and delivered it for ten years. Writing and language is a major part of who I am. I speak nine languages, and one day hope to be able to speak with every person on the planet in their native language.
