> man in the hooded cloak we see in the demo is actually a hallucination of Ifrit posing in Clive's body (let's call him Dark Clive), he appears as Ifrit has just awakened inside him
> anytime we see a hooded man speak in a weird language, it's Ifrit
> there is another hooded man, his name is Margrace
> he's essentially a red herring as its easy to confuse Margrace and Dark Clive/Ifrit, since both wear hoods
> Margrace reveals his face later on in the game: turns out its Joshua all grown up, he survived the Phoenix Gate incident
> during the demo, we go to Caer Norvent to look for the "second Eikon of fire", who's secretly Margrace/Joshua all along
> as seen in the demo, we killed almost all of Benedikta's soldiers and severely wounded her before taking Garuda's powers from her
> however Clive starts to writhe on the ground after he absorbed Garuda, and Cid is hurt, so Benedikta manages to escape with her 3 remaining soldiers
> not long after though, she gets ambushed by bandits, who kill everyone while leaving her alive
> bandits says they're going to sell her, but would like to "taste the merchandise first", implying they're going to rape her
> Benedikta goes crazy and somehow is able to turn into Garuda again, forming a huge tornado
> Dark Clive appears again, who disappears into the tornado. Clive, mistaking that to be the "second eikon of fire", chases after him
> cue Garuda's Eikon fight, where Benedikta gets killed by Clive as he's lost control in Ifrit form (despite Cid's best efforts to stop him)
> Benedikta's body was found mangled, someone (suspected to be Barnabas) decapitates her and sends her head to Hugo, who goes apeshit regarding Cid
