Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.
The development of the game was led by Square Enix's Creative Business Unit III division. Naoki Yoshida, known for producing Final Fantasy XIV, was in charge of producing this game. Hiroshi Takai, who directed Final Fantasy XIV, oversaw the direction of this game. Kenshi Yonezu composed the theme song "Tsuki Wo Miteita - Moongazing" for this game.
