Ifrit bleeds, we can kill it!



   Ifrit has scorched his way, finally, into the world of Eorzea. Ifrit is the Primal (or avatar, esper, or guardian force if you'd rather.) of Amalj'aa, who plan to summon Ifrit as a way to battle the Garlean Empire. He is the first Primal, or Eikons, to come completely out to the open in FFXIV. This new variation of Ifrit quite possibly the most intimidating version I've ever seen. Let's take a quick look back of Ifrit throughout the years..

First appearance had 3 colour variations depending on the move he used. Looks more like a demon with long horns then anything. Kept this basic look until..

VI's Ifrit started looking a little more beast then humanoid-like demon. The green and purple colours would be eventually make way for..

VII's started getting a little tent of red over the skin. Getting there.

The Ifrit I think of when I hear the name. VIII's Ifrit was perhaps the most impressionable.

XI's Ifrit is more beast & elemental like of any of the previous forms.

Ifrit's back! And in pog form! (Button from The World Ends with You.)

   Now with Ifrit coming to life in XIV, this opens up the door to see more Primals in the coming future. We've already seen Leviathan, the (maybe) Sahagin primal (Or who we think is Leviathan) attacking Limsa Lominsa's ships. Garuda the Primal of Ixali has been heard of in game and who's character art can be found on the Internet. (kotaku.com) Titan, Primal of the Kobolds character data can be found in game already, and one can assume that he'll be the next Primal that adventurers can battle.

Yopo thinks he has a cute face. I think he still needs pants.

     Also a Giant Dragon can be seen leading a army of dragons against airships from Garlean during the opening, character sketches of Odin have started surfacing, and a creature that resembles Diabolos has been spotted in-game as well.

     FFXIV has come along way from it's dismal release a few years ago, and good signs are appearing that the game will be more acceptable by the time version 2.0 hits the market. PS3 release had also been slated for release late 2013 along with the current "Free Trail" mode turning into a monthly fee.
