In this episode we take a look at the recurring Final Fantasy summon Ifrit origins and its enduring significance and appeal within the game series. This is a brief overview of the cultural history of Ifrit and how it has somewhat faithfully been adapted into the pantheon of Final Fantasy deities. This is part of a series on Final Fantasy lore I’ve long been meaning to start following on from my History of Final Fantasy Summons episode that can be found here:
