Ifrit vs. Garuda Fight Scene (Final Fantasy XVI) 4K ULTRA HD Eikons Cinematic

[@1rotzy]

I love how this is a fight and not just a curbstomp. Garuda was making changes in how she fights to try and win. Switching from long range to acrobatics, using bird legs, and talons to get an advantage. This was really fun to watch.

[@geo82max55]

well uh for me it was a curbstomp lmao. no matter what she did i would just fucking run through her attacks and drag her through the dirt over and over. my friends that were watching couldnt believe that i abused garuda like she was a side npc. still my favorite video game fight on god

[@1rotzy]

@geo82max55 Oh yeah. Anything that wasn't a cinematic, absolutely ass kicking.

[@wangstick]

I felt like a curb stomp to me quite honestly... the other eikon fights are more even balanced

[@BlackmanHD]

@@geo82max55he just beat the shit out of her

[@GiornoGiovana]

My first introduction to Ifrit was from Final Fantasy 10 and I’ve loved him ever since. Somehow they managed to make an early game summon even more badass than he already was

[@marksokka]

and now they turned garuda into a dbz character

[@yolandabercinta4570]

@@marksokka final fantasy 8 was the 1st and best ifrit and i want a final fantasy 8 remake not just re animation...

[@CpTn_QwRk]

Are there any connection between the games? Is this the same Ifrit from 10?

[@GiornoGiovana]

@@CpTn_QwRk absolutely not, the games usually don't connect to one another. Only a few similarities here and there. Example: in every known final fantasy game there is a character named "Cid" but he's never the same guy

[@leejames8024]

Ifrit really when through a lot of changes from humanoid to beast, this latest one is the greatest.

[@rognartvedte7906]

He is now a Godzilla slapping hoe's across the face with his tail.

[@DarkStarGaming065]

Couldn’t agree more. Ifrit is really a major threat and should be taken seriously this time around. If Square kept this up for Ifrit in future games, he could be the most memorable Summon yet.

[@DarkStarGaming065]

Notice how Ifrit’s eyes are yellow here. In future fights, Ifrit’s eyes are Blue, meaning that control of Ifrit has been obtained. Here, Clive is not in control of Ifrit

[@dinorex3464]

And its fighting style perfectly shows it. It's completely unhinged, like a beast of hell.

[@Caliif]

The whole fight felt like Ifrit is bullying Garuda while she's desperately fighting to survive

[@e.c7667]

I just finished this battle like 5 minutes ago. I only got hit once, but I think it could have gone either way.

[@samuelbanta4279]

Ifrit was always one of the more powerful summons, a late stage one typically, so it makes sense.

[@victormatavercosa]

​@@samuelbanta4279not reeeeeally... For the most time, Ifrit was one of the earliest, weakest summons, but glad he's got his glow up this last couple Final Fantasies.

Did this part lastnight, and guys I swear on that QTE at the end when ifrit is burning Garuda, I was so hype and immersed into the fight I was yelling like a monster as if I was the one burning her myself lmao. I cracked up afterwards. Such a fun experience.

[@Thezapman1]

Beneditka’s fight into garuda’s fight had me hyped the whole time, was left crying at the end after Ifrit used hellfire. The whole thing invoked something special inside of me wow I still cannot fathom how much effort was put into that spectacle of a cinematic.

[@kevinkaslana9060]

Glad I'm not the only one who yells like Ifrit when he's out! I swear, anytime he shows up, I don't become the serious and badass Clive like we're used to - I become the second Eikon of Fire.

[@joelhardaway1143]

I knew it was Clive, the trailers made it obvious, they didn’t really try to hide it.

[@KRITERYUSKYLYN2079]

[@djnevling8253]

@@p.t.j.5338I said from the very beginning that there’s no way anyone but Clive is Ifrit. I also knew who the hooded dominant was too from the get go but the game really made me doubt that Clive was Ifrit until it flat out tells you he is.

[@1980nadim]

Had this fight yesterday and it blew me away. The whole thing gave away major Godzilla and Aot (the regenerating limbs) vibes. Played a lot of ff games (7,8,9,10,12,15, remake) but this one is really different but in a good way.

[@Darth_Melek]

I really love the theme of this scene, you feel like you’re in a boarder between hope and calamity, Ifrit the devil with a heart

[@UnlimitedFlyers]

Love it how Ramuh basically says, "Pipe it down!" with *style* ... god, I'm loving this game! It's Devil May Cry meets Bayonetta but it's Final Fantasy so we can AVAVAGO with Bahamut instead of Gomorrah!!!

So much for my Theory of Torgal being Ifrit from what we saw in the demo

[@jdiabl035]

Why…..would the dog be a dominant…..

[@TigerW0lf]

@jdiabl035 The way that the demo framed the camerawork in the final scene with Ifrit made it seem like he was merely watching Ifrit kill the Phoenix, not from the pov of Ifrit itself.

[@dattkid007]

That’s why it’s a demo

[@wolfyfluff7585]

It will be cool if a dog is a dominant

When Ifrit is becoming Feral Chaos:

[@dinorex3464]

I like how this fight becomes more like a desperate battle for survival the second Garuda realises Ifrit is going for the killing blow with *every single attack.* She actually varies her attacks, tries to weaken it, and then attempts a killing blow. Ifrit straight-up tanks and dodges EVERYTHING she throws at it and every single one of its attacks is aimed at killing her.
