An eternal, undying bird. Its tears are rumored to have curative properties, and it is said that he who tastes the Phoenix's blood will have eternal life. —Dissidia Final Fantasy Summon Compendium The Phoenix doing its special attack "Flames of Rebirth/ Life Giver" depending on which version of the game you were playing. One of the first times i drew the phoenix i remember showing it my grand-aunt and she said it reminded her of the double-headed bird from Germany. Not sure if a double-headed eagle is associated with Germany but whatever. I noticed that the Phoenix seems to have a human-like torso in the FF games. I like the idea of the Phoenix being almost man-sized and having a human like a shape to it.
