General Safeiroth is not just a name mentioned in the Ultimania.
His first known appearance dates back to the E3 2013 trailer of Final Fantasy Versus XIII / Final Fantasy XV.
During the invasion of Insomnia, a mysterious blond officer in a white uniform can be seen standing alongside the Emperor of Niflheim. The same character also appears in abandoned storyboards, where he is shown taking part in the invasion of Altissia.
Years later, the Final Fantasy XV Ultimania revealed that a character named General Safeiroth (サフェイロス将軍) was originally intended to appear in the story before being removed from the game. Regarding him, the book states:
"The letters 'SAF' seen on the Imperial Army's landing craft and other military equipment are a symbol representing General Safeiroth's forces, as he was originally planned to appear in the game. Although the character was ultimately removed, the symbol was retained as the emblem of a famous general in the Empire's history."
This suggests that Safeiroth was meant to play an important role in the original story of Final Fantasy XV.
However, Square Enix has never revealed his final design, his complete backstory, or the exact role he was supposed to play in Nomura's original scenario.
More than ten years after the 2013 trailer, his full identity, motivations, and exact role remain one of the greatest mysteries of Final Fantasy XV.

The cancellation of those DLCs is the best thing that ever happened to FFXV. It was time to stop butchering this game by adding even more shitty fanfiction.
13 years ago we were giving the last final fantasy versus xiii trailer when it was revealed it would change to xv with Nomura and his team still leading it.Funny how a KH4 trailer comes out a day before 13 years later.Sad we never got this.Hopefully kh4 will use ideas from this
