Introducing: Cindy, the mechanic
Jump Festa is happening today in Chiba, Japan. What does that mean for us? Well, a stunning new trailer forFinal Fantasy XVfor one thing. It feels good to be excited aboutFinal Fantasyagain.
The reel also gives us our first peek atFinal 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.
