Square Enix continues to lead up to the launch of its next Final Fantasy installment with brief trailers. Each one is a sample of the Japanese voice acting that also offers better looks at major characters. The latest one for Final Fantasy XVI stars Dion Lesage, the Dominant of the Eikon Bahamut.

Here’s the full Final Fantasy XVI Dion and Bahamut video. It begins by showing him channeling the Eikon. After that, we see the character’s official art and voice actor. Following that, segments from cutscenes appear showing the prince in his human form, as well as in his Bahamut one again.
