In spite of his less than savory actions, he is an honorable fighter at heart, and restores the party's health before every fight against him. He wears a "Cloak of Flame", which, when donned, absorbs all elemental magic, though ice elemental weapons can still damage him (the 3D version is an exception to this). He is voiced by Lee Everest and Norio Wakamoto in the English and Japanese versions respectively.

Leader of Golbez's elemental archfiends, dubbed the Autarch of Flame.

Dissidia Final Fantasy Summon Compendium

Rubicante (ルビカンテ, Rubikante?), also known as Rubicant, is a recurring character in the Final Fantasy universe. First appearing in Final Fantasy IV as a minor antagonist, he is one of the four archfiends associated with the elements; in this case, fire. Despite his role as an antagonist, he has a strong sense of honor and fair play, unlike the other archfiends.

Appearances

Final Fantasy

Main article: Rubicante (Final Fantasy)
Artwork from Dawn of Souls.

Rubicante appears in the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary remakes as a boss at the last floor Hellfire Chasm, one of the bonus dungeons for the remakes. Defeating him will take the player off the dungeon, and he drops a Kikuichimonji.

Final Fantasy IV

For battle information, see Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV 2D) or Rubicante (Final Fantasy IV 3D)
FF4 PSP Rubicante Field

I respect men like you. Men with... courage. But you are a slave to your emotions, and so will never know true strength. Such is the curse of men.

Rubicante

Rubicante is a boss and one of Golbez's Archfiends, and is the Element Lord of Fire, titled the Autarch of Flame. He is considered to be the most powerful of the four, and is their leader.

In spite of his less than savory actions, he is an honorable fighter at heart, and restores the party's health before every fight against him. He wears a "Cloak of Flame", which, when donned, absorbs all elemental magic, though ice elemental weapons can still damage him (the 3D version is an exception to this). He is voiced Doug Lee*(credited as Lee Everest in the DS version) and Norio Wakamoto in the English and Japanese versions respectively.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)
Rubicante (PSP).

Rubicante first appears in the Tower of Babil, where he is overseeing the destruction of Eblan. It is assumed that he led this attack. The attack succeeds, and Eblan's inhabitants are forced to flee to Cave of Eblan. He is first seen speaking to Dr. Lugae in the Tower of Babil in the Underworld, when Lugae transports him to the Overworld.

There, he is chased by Edge, the prince of Eblan, who seeks revenge for the destruction of Eblan and the assumed murder of his parents. Cecil Harvey, Kain Highwind, Rydia, and Rosa Joanna Farrell witness Edge's loss to Rubicante, and Rubicante's subsequent departure.

Rubicante FFIV iOs Encounter

Rubicante challenges the party.

The party confronts Rubicante again in the upper half of the Tower of Babil, where Edge accuses him of not only destroying Eblan, but also turning his parents into monsters. Rubicante explains that the transformation of the king and queen of Eblan into chimeras was Lugae's doing, and in an interesting show of his character, when he saw what had happened to Edge's parents he actually cursed Lugae for what he did. He commends Edge's strength but sees him as being too emotional to be a worthy opponent. Edge ignores Rubicante's remark, and joins the party in attacking, and then defeating Rubicante. Unlike the other fiends, Rubicante accepts his defeat and compliments the party on their victory.

Rubicante is revived by Zemus, along with Scarmiglione, Cagnazzo, and Barbariccia. They fight Cecil's party one last time in the Giant of Babil together. However, they are all defeated again.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

For battle information, see Rubicante (The After Years)

Rubicante appears at Eblan's Castle where he fights the party in a scripted battle. He gives Edge a clue on how to defeat Ifrit during the Second Battle of Eblan, who has taken control of the castle and Rydia and Edge learn Rubicante's Inferno as a Band ability. He reappears on the True Moon as a boss spawned by the Crystals.

The player can have a one-on-one fight with him as Edge, and obtain Rubicante's cloak, the Fire Scarf. With it, Edge can absorb any fire-elemental attacks. After defeating him, Edge acknowledges Rubicante is still a worthy opponent and has possibly made peace with him.

Spoilers end here.


Final Fantasy Type-0

Blessed with perpetual Regen status, this durable Eidolon is well suited for drawn-out battles of attrition. However, due to its low HP, Rubicante is susceptible to fast-paced enemy onslaughts. Thus, the dominion legions choose to summon this Eidolon only once they have broken through the enemy's first lines of defense.

Rubicus

Rubicante is one of the many versions of Ifrit. This model has only two attacks, and has the lowest HP maximum among the fire Eidolons.

Final Fantasy Dimensions II

FFLTNS Rubicante Artwork

DFF Rubicante

Rubicante being summoned.

Rubicante is a summon and is a counter to an opponent's summon and triples the summoner's Bravery points. His original artwork from Final Fantasy IV is used.

Rubicante can be obtained on the second stage of the Shade Impulse III storyline. When the player collects Rubicante's Summonstone, the dialogue mirrors what Rubicante says to Edge before his boss battle in Final Fantasy IV.

Like the other Archfiends, Rubicante appears to act as a "counter" version of one of the original Final Fantasy's Four Fiends. Specifically, Rubicante's Inferno accomplishes the same result as Tiamat's Wind Arcana; tripling the Summoner's Bravery. Both Rubicante and Tiamat are the fourth and final "fiend" the party encounters in their respective games.

There is also an equipment bearing his name, called "Rubicante's Cowl".

In Dissidia 012, he can be purchased from certain Moogle Shops for 100 KP. Rubicante also appears as a tutor for the Labyrinth feature at the in-game manuals.

Story
4★ - No. 8094: One of Golbez's Archfiends who appears in the tales of a blue planet watched over by two moons. Rubicante, rumored to be the strongest amongst the Archfiends, is a man of large build who dons a red mantle. He is in charge of protecting the Tower of Babil, which stretches from the Earth's Underworld to the Overworld, and has been ordered by Golbez to destroy the Kingdom of Eblan. Once Golbez steals the Dark Crystal from the Dwarven Castle, the Archfiend entrusts the Tower of Babil to Dr. Lugae, who transports him to the Overworld along with the Crystal.
5★ - No. 8095: One of Golbez's Archfiends who appears in the tales of a blue planet watched over by two moons. Rubicante destroyed the Kingdom of Eblan, Edge's home, with his ability to command fire. As a warrior, he believes in fair fights and usually prefers not to engage in any meaningless killing. Even when the revenge-thirsty Edge comes to challenge him in the Cave of Eblan, the Archfiend faces him head on and commends the young prince on his boldness. However, he also recognizes Edge's immaturity, and thus chooses not to take his life in battle.
6★ - No. 8096: One of Golbez's Archfiends who appears in the tales of a blue planet watched over by two moons. Rubicante is a large built man who commands the element of fire, and unlike the other three Archfiends condones fair fighting, as he respects a warrior's sense of pride. When he shows himself before Cecil at the Tower of Babil, he not only apologizes for Dr. Lugae's experiments on humans, but also uses his own magic to completely restore Cecil and his party to prime condition before facing them in battle.

Etymology

Rubicante is a demon in the Inferno of Dante's Divine Comedy. He is one of the 12 Malebranche ("Evil Claws") who guard Bolgia Five of the eighth circle of Hell, Malebolge. Vulgar and quarrelsome, their duty is to force the corrupt politicians to stay under the surface of a boiling lake of pitch.

His name means "Red-faced Terror".
