Agni's Philosophy

Agni's Philosophy is a Final Fantasy tech demo revealed in E3 2012 showing what a future Final Fantasy game might look like using Square Enix's Luminous Engine game production environment, developed for creating games for next generation games consoles. Because it is a game engine demo, Agni's Philosophy is not meant to show what an actual future game would look like, but to advertise the technical power of the engine.

Everything in the video is said to be running in real-time. The demo video is said to depict real time computer graphics at the same level as pre-rendered computer graphics and the fine details of the characters are showcased through their facial expressions, subtleties of their pupils and hair, and their flowing garments. Agni's Philosophy is said to have been created through the lens of the Final Fantasy series, in a world where magic and science coexist.

The video depicts an encounter with the magic-wielding girl Agni, who is among a group of red-robed mages surrounding a crystal wielding man who apprehends a dragon. The group is attacked by men with guns and Agni fights alongside the others to protect the man, who hands the crystal to Agni. Clutching the crystal Agni escapes to the streets, but she is being pursued by the group of men who release a monster after her. The monster catches up with her and lunges at her, but Agni uses the crystal to summon the dragon from the room she was in earlier with the man and the other red robed mages. The dragon destroys the monster and Agni climbs on its back and soars to the skies.
