Final Fantasy XV: 10 Perfect Fan Theories That Make Everything Better

10. Pitioss Ruins Tell Ifrit's Story

After noticing the substantial number of statues of Ifrit throughout Pitioss, husband and wife duo perona77 developed the theory that the site tells Ifrit's story – not only of how he came to go against the other Astrals – but his true motivations and the source of the Starscourge.

The statues aren't idols to Ifrit, but rather represent key moments in his tale.

Eos is both the name of FFXV's world, and the goddess of the dawn (she is the winged goddess depicted on the cover art). The theory states that after she sinned by having a romantic relationship with a human, the Astrals punished her by chaining her in the daemon-ridden underworld.

Ifrit, who loved her, resolved to break into the bowels of the planet and rescue her. Noctis' journey through Pitioss is our opportunity to follow the footsteps of Ifrit's great quest. Ifrit, who is described as being very flamboyant, uses the Solheim ruins at Pitioss as his mural to tell his tale.

The earthly parts of the story take place inside the old ruins, while his journey through the underworld (where the dungeon turns into an Escher painting and starts breaking the laws of Physics) is set within the caverns of the rock itself.

The name itself also offers a big hint – 'Pitioss' is the pit of Eos.
