Ifrit



Ifrit, also called Jinn and Iflyte, is a Fire-elemental summon that appears in several games in the series. His signature attack is Hellfire, sometimes called Inferno or Flames of Hell, that deals Fire-elemental damage to all opponents. He is one of the most frequently appearing summons and is often a rival to the ice summon Shiva.

Like most recurring summons, Ifrit's appearance is different in each game, but remains somewhat similar. He has become increasingly beast-like and less demonic-looking as the series evolved; the shift started in Final Fantasy VIII. In general, Ifrit has brown skin, has long horns and claws, and is covered by a simple kilt-like covering around his waist.

Final Fantasy III
Ifrit can be summoned by Evokers and Summoners. He is obtained by purchasing the Level 4 Summon Magic spell Heatra.

Ifrit, along with the other reclaimed Eidolons, are later summoned by the impostor Rydia on B6 of the tower to battle the party.

He learns HP-J and Str-J and Strength boosting support abilities, as well as elemental attack and defense junctions. His unique abilities are Str Bonus, which gives a permanent stat boost upon leveling up; Mad Rush, a command ability that puts the party in Berserk with Haste and Protect; and refine abilities that let the player make Fire magic and ammo from items. His Triple Triad card is won from his boss encounter.

Before Dagger has her eidolons extracted Ifrit costs 104 MP to summon, but later costs 26 MP. Dagger already has Ifrit in the beginning of the game, but for quadruple the MP cost, she is unlikely to gain enough MP to summon him. After relearning him the MP cost is reduced.

Ifrit also appears on a Tetra Master card.

Final Fantasy X

Wakka's upgraded World Champion weapon allows Ifrit to Break Damage Limit|break the damage limit of 9,999 hit points. He joins the party knowing Fire, NulBlaze, and NulFrost. He absorbs Fire-elemental damage, but is weak to Ice-elemental damage.

Final Fantasy X-2
Ifrit returns as a boss under Shuyin's control. He is fought inside the Kilika Temple in Chapter 3.

Final Fantasy XI
Ifrit is one of the six sleeping gods, and an avatar available to Summoners representing the Fire element. Players can obtain him upon completion of the quest "Trial By Fire". Alternatively, a brave low-level Summoner may go on the quest "Trial-Size Trial By Fire" and defeat Ifrit in a battle alone (under a level 20 restriction) rather than in a group. Ifrit is not used as often for Blood Pact: Wards as many of the other avatars.

Ifrit's strength lies in dealing large damage. Ifrit holds the honor of proving players to be capable of dealing over 9999 damage: Summoners can deal well over 10,000 damage with Ifrit's Flaming Crush against the Notorious Monster Qutrub known as Moshdahn, who has very low defense, takes double damage from all attacks, is weak against fire, and can have its defense further lowered by Dia II, after which Flaming Crush has been seen hitting for 10,000 to just over 14,000 damage (although a resist or partial miss is still possible, dealing only a fraction of this damage). Although Flaming Crush was the first ability capable of dealing such tremendous damage, the item Primeval Brew introduced in the Abyssea expansion trio allows any high-level job to deal over 10,000 damage with a variety of abilities and spells.

Legend of the Avatar was from a general named Frit. A ruthless, bloodthirsty man, he participated in many battles. He once discovered a baby in the ruins of a village his men had burned down who smiled at him despite his fearsome appearance, which moved his heart. He took the little girl, named Falbub, and entrusted her to the care of a couple of servants, watching over her as she grew up. Survivors of Frit's ravages banded together and attacked his home, killing both his servants and Falbub. Angered and saddened that innocent souls had to pay for his crimes, Frit decided to accept retribution. He ascended to the top of a volcano where the souls of the dead were said to gather during solar eclipses.

When the next eclipse occurred, the ghosts of those he had slain attacked him, their curses transforming him into a demon. Falbub's spirit tried to interpose itself. Undaunted by his demonic appearance, she smiled at him without a word of reproach. Frit prayed to Altana to exchange his life for hers. His wish was granted, but Altana soon saw that Falbub was unhappy. She thus took both her and Frit to the heavens, rewarding the general's repentance and the girl's devotion. In the legends that were born of this story, Frit was renamed I'Frit (Frit of the Flames). Falbub is the name of the brightest red star of the Ifrit constellation.

His signature attack is Hellfire, which he casts shortly after summoning a number of Nails to the battlefield. The strength of the spell is determined by how many of these Nails are left intact.

Much like how wildfires consume everything in their path, Ifrit prefers to "temper" as many individuals as possible to serve his will. As a result, the Amalj'aa kidnap people in Thanalan to be taken to the Bowl of Embers and anointed in Ifrit's flames. The victims gradually lose sense of reality and become fanatical worshipers of the Lord of the Inferno.

Final Fantasy Type-0
There is a set of Eidolons called "Ifrit Class". Each Ifrit under the class has different name, abilities and size.


 * Ifrit
 * Firebrand
 * Rubicante
 * Vulcan

Its design is similar to his appearance in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- with gear-like designs (a common theme in Orience) around his shoulders and left thigh.

Ifrit was the first Eidolon made for the game. He was intended to be depicted as brutal, wild and berserk. At this time the team still played with the idea of making the Eidolons playable in real time, and looked at the summoning video they made first of an Ifrit NPC summoned that acted on its own. The team had the feeling it was not the beast they wanted him to be as he did not seem feral enough. When the team tried to make Ifrit playable for the first time, director Hajime Tabata, who was trying it out, clicked the button and Ifrit made a powerful attack. This impressed him so that he decided they should try to overcome the technical limitations to make the Eidolons playable.

In the Annals of Orience, it is revealed Ifrit was the first Eidolon properly implemented to the dominion army, after the disaster of the first summoning of a Verboten Eidolon, and in 343 helped Rubrum repel an invasion on the Meroë Region by the Militesi Empire.

 * Who's Who
 * CV: Matthew Waterson / Keiji Fujiwara


 * Notes: One of the Pleiad / Nether Nebula guardian / Lord of fire / Spends time at the gym? / Sometimes goofs around


 * A Series Regular
 * Ifrit has been around since the FF summoning system made its debut. Refer to them as espers, GFs, eidolons, aeons, avatars, primals, whatever you want—but if there's a supernatural superforce to call on, you can bet Ifrit is somewhere in the lineup. Along with Shiva and Ramuh, he's one of the most familiar faces in the summon community.


 * Extremely Dangerous?
 * The Grymoirian Ifrit has a reputation for being ill-tempered and violent. But contrary to public opinion, he is actually a very decent Mirage who cares deeply for the people of Grymoire. He's even taken it upon himself to make sure no one accidentally stumbles into the Nether Nebula and gets hurt. To this purpose, he takes full advantage of the rumors about him, and leaps out to frighten any who wander in.


 * His fondness for humans puts him at clear odds ith another, less savory Mirage in his tribe...


 * The Nether Nebula: Part 1
 * Some Mirages, especially those known as "espers," have been summoned to Grymoire from their various hoemworlds.


 * Espers cannot travel between worlds on their own and, as a rule of thumb, only appear outside their homeworlds when called there by summoners. However, there are some places, like the Nether Nebula, where the barrier between worlds is thin enough to make the crossing.
