Okay, Final Fantasy XV looks pretty damn awesome

Introducing: Cindy, the mechanic

Jump Festa is happening today in Chiba, Japan. What does that mean for us? Well, a stunning new trailer for Final Fantasy XV for one thing. It feels good to be excited about Final Fantasy again.

The reel also gives us our first peek at Final Fantasy XV‘s incarnation of Cid, a recurring figure in the franchise. Actually, it’s Cindy, in this case. (Or perhaps Cidney — there seems to be some disagreement over this on account of how folks at Square Enix pronounce the name.)

She’s a mechanic, of course, which fits nicely along with the road trip motif and Cids having a proclivity for engineering. Her gender is a point of distinction among characters that bear the moniker, though, as she’ll be the first female Cid in the series.
