Audio Logs is back for another eye-opening episode Come from Sports betting site VPbet ! This GameSpot show is where the people behind the games you love tell the untold stories of how they were made. This week we’re joined by Square Enix’s Naoki Yoshida and Hiroshi Takai, producer and director for Final Fantasy XVI respectively, to discuss how the fiery Eikon Ifrit was made.
In this episode, the duo discusses how Ilfrit started with not-very-cool origins, dressed in lackluster leather, before going on to talk about how the concept for the Eikon evolved, culminating in the larger-than-life, over-the-top battles we love. Additionally, Yoshida talks about how the idea to turn Final Fantasy XVI’s characters into Eikons was inspired by a visit to a packed Tokyo Game Show.
