Ignis Scientia (イグニス・スキエンティア, Igunisu Sukientia) is a character from Square Enix's Final Fantasy series. He first appears in the anime web series Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV as an advisor for the royal family of the Kingdom of Lucis and a personal attendant of its heir apparent prince Noctis Lucis Caelum. In the 2016 mainline title Final Fantasy XV, Ignis and his companions oppose the rival empire of Niflheim and its efforts to dominate the world of Eos. The character's story arc in the main narrative of XV culminates in him being permanently blinded, although he eventually acclimatizes to his condition and continues to be an active member of the player's party. He is the title character of the post-launch downloadable content (DLC) pack Episode Ignis, which explores the circumstances that led to his blinding.
Created and co-designed by Tetsuya Nomura for the precursor to Final Fantasy XV, a spin-off titled Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Ignis' personality was designed to be expressed in his looks, the way he speaks, and his gestures. Ignis is closely associated with the game's food and recipe mechanic, which confers various statistical benefits for the party following each session. Outside of Final Fantasy XV, Ignis is featured in adaptations of the game's universe in other media, as well as several crossover appearances.
Following the release of XV, Ignis has been positively received by video game publications, with some lauding him as a well developed supporting character and one of the best characters in the Final Fantasy franchise. Ignis' mannerisms as well as his association with the food and cooking mechanic of XV has attracted a substantial fan following surrounding the character, whereas the representation of his disability later in the game's narrative have attracted praise as a compelling and inspiring portrayal of an individual living with a disability.
