The individual is none other than Vivi Ornitier, the famous mage from <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/news\/hironobu-sakaguchi-final-fantasy-14-9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Fantasy IX<\/a> and other titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n    <blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" >      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FinalFantasy\/comments\/14gdcp7\/ffxvi_found_an_old_friend\/\">FFXVI &#8211; Found an old friend<\/a><br> by      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Silveth\">u\/Silveth<\/a> in      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FinalFantasy\/\">FinalFantasy<\/a>    <\/blockquote>    <script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Vivi looks different this time as a scarecrow, where you can see his iconic hat and distinct face in a new strawy fashion. Although it has been a while since we&#8217;ve last seen him, he has been in countless <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/guides\/how-many-final-fantasy-games-are-there-answered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Fantasy entries<\/a>, such as a summon teammate in Dimensions II, a playable character in Pictlogica Final Fantasy, and a featured exclusive in the series playing card games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vivi was also recently regarded as the &#8220;favorite character&#8221; in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FinalFantasy\/comments\/zuw2zn\/final_fantasy_favourite_character_elimination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reddit poll<\/a>, making his appearance in Final Fantasy 16 even more momentous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coincidentally, this isn&#8217;t the first time Vivi has been associated with a strawman, as fans have believed he would be perfect for the role of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/FinalFantasy\/comments\/97cc06\/ffixs_characters_resemble_the_cast_of_the_wizard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scarecrow<\/a> in The Wizard of Oz. Thus, now that dream has become a reality in the latest entry, yet some presume that his personality leans more toward the faint-heartedness of the Cowardly Lion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to see the return of Vivi Ornitier, you can explore the new world of <a href=\"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/reviews\/final-fantasy-xvi-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Final Fantasy 16<\/a> and dive deeper into the latest impactful storyline. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beloved mage has returned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":311,"featured_media":959917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6,2],"tags":[197756,203674,203690,203691,184003,271],"internal-label":[],"article_type":[194381],"coauthors":[{"id":311,"display_name":"Kristina Ebanez","user_nicename":"kristinaebanez"}],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Screenshot-2023-06-22-at-15-00-32-3-FINAL-FANTASY-XVI-\u2013-Ascension-Trailer-YouTube1.jpg?fit=1200%2C675","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959914"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/311"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=959914"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":959923,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/959914\/revisions\/959923"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/959917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=959914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=959914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=959914"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=959914"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/twinfinite.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=959914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
