Final Fantasy XVI Character Art Shared for Gav, Vivian, Sylvestre, Anabella, and Elwin

Square Enix started sharing official art of Final Fantasy XVI side characters like Gav and Vivian Ninetails on the English and Japanese Twitter accounts. In each case, there’s a look at the person and a brief profile describing who they are.

First, here’s the Gav Final Fantasy XVI art and profile. He’s essentially a second-in-command character for Cid and Clive.

Next is Elwin, who we meet in the first flashback in Final Fantasy XVI as he travels alongside Clive and Joshua.

And here’s Clive and Joshua’s mother Anabella. She also ends up forming major political ties to other characters in the game as the story goes on.

Finally, the Vivian Final Fantasy XVI art appeared in Japan today. She’s an academic who eventually comes to Cid’s Hideout and offers insight into the current state of affairs of different kingdoms and regions in Valisthea.
