Inoue: The first boss towards the beginning of the game; it may be difficult to tell from the character art, but Neon is inside. As far as physique goes it may be impossible for Neon to fit in this armor, but we wanted Chaos Advent to be easily mistaken for Garland, so this is what the design became.
Neon went to the Chaos Shrine in order to become the being called Chaos, and took this form when Astos gave her the dark crystal. That she took a form similar to Garland may have been influenced by Astos' feelings being mixed into the dark crystal.
We wanted to give this boss a look resembling, but different from, the Garlands that appear in Dissidia and this game's cutscenes, etc., so the general shape is of course like Garland. However, the slender armor and large sword it carries are more sharply-shaped.
Chaos Advent's use of offensive magic and flame techniques are featured as they are components of one of her jobs, Red Mage, and because she later becomes Marilith. As a supposed warrior of light, Jack has the Lightbringer technique, and after he falls to Chaos he uses Chaosbringer. And so for the Fiend of Fire, we decided on the technique name "Firebringer." Whereas the ice sword is simply a magic sword, and its technique is called "Ice Sword" and not "Icebringer."
