Question

Asymptotics: Lets look at the quantity

$$S(n)=(-1)^{n}(n+1)\binom{i}{n+1}=i\prod_{k=1}^{n+1}\left(1-\frac{i}{k}\right).$$ It's just your binomial coefficient above with the $(-1)^{n+1}$ factored in, and an extra $n+1$ so it factors nicely as a product.

Claim: We have that

$$S(n)=\sqrt{\frac{\sinh{\pi}}{\pi}}e^{iC_{0}}e^{-i\log n}\left(1+O\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\right),$$ where

$$C_{0}=\frac{-\pi}{2}-1+\int_0^\infty \frac{\{x\}}{1+x^2}dx +O\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) =\arg(\Gamma(i))\approx -1.872.$$

In particular, the angle moves around the circle like $\log n$.

Application to your question: The above claim shows that $$f_{n+1} = (-1)^{n+1} n! \sqrt{\frac{\sinh{\pi}}{\pi}}\cos(-\log n+C_0)\left(1+O\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\right)$$ and $$g_{n+1} \sim (-1)^{n+1} n! \sqrt{\frac{\sinh{\pi}}{\pi}} \sin(-\log n+C_0)\left(1+O\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\right).$$

In particular, the ratio $g_n/f_n$ can be made arbitrarily large or small.

Proof of the claim: We first note that the size is

$$\sqrt{\prod_{k=1}^{n}\left(1+\frac{1}{k^{2}}\right)}=\sqrt{\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{k^{2}}\right)}+O\left(\frac{1}{n}\right).$$ To evaluate this product, recall the Weierstrass product for the Gamma function $$\left(\Gamma(z)\right)^{-1}=ze^{\gamma z}\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(1+\frac{z}{k^{2}}\right)e^{-\frac{z}{r}}.$$ From this it follows that $$\frac{1}{|\Gamma(i)|^{2}}=\frac{1}{\Gamma(i)\Gamma(-i)}=\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}\left(1+\frac{1}{k^{2}}\right).$$ Using the identity $$\Gamma(x)\Gamma(-x)=-\frac{\pi}{x\sin\left(\pi x\right)},$$ we now have that $$\frac{1}{\Gamma(i)\Gamma(-i)}=\frac{-i\sin(i\pi)}{\pi}=\frac{\sinh(\pi)}{\pi},$$ which gives rise to the $\sqrt{\frac{\sinh(\pi)}{\pi}}$ term. Moving on to the evaluation of the angle, by looking at each triangle, and noting that the argument is additive when multiplied, we get that the argument equals

$$-\sum_{k=1}^{n}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{k}\right).$$

The negative sign arises since we are working in the fourth quadrant. By looking at the Taylor series for $\tan^{-1}$ we see that the above is $\log n+O(1)$, however, I would like to compute this argument more precisely, and obtain the constant. Lets compare our $\tan^{-1}$ series to the harmonic series. Rewriting things in terms of a Riemann Stieltjes integral, and using summation by parts, we have that

$$\sum_{k=1}^{n}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{k}\right)=\int_{0}^{n}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)d\left[x\right]=[n]\tan^{-1}(1/n)\int_{0}^{n}\frac{\left[x\right]}{1+x^{2}}dx. $$

Pulling out the main term with the identity $[x]=x-\{x\}$, the above equals

$$\int_{0}^{n}\frac{x}{1+x^{2}}dx-\int_{0}^{n}\frac{\{x\}}{1+x^{2}}dx.$$

Since the first integral evaluates to $\frac{1}{2}\log(1+x^2)$, we have that $$\sum_{k=1}^{n}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{k}\right)=\log n +1-\int_0^\infty \frac{\{x\}}{1+x^2}dx +O\left(\frac{1}{n}\right).$$

Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Noam Elkies for pointing out that $$\prod_{k=1}^\infty \sqrt{1+\frac{1}{k^2}}=\frac{1}{|\Gamma(i)|}=\sqrt{\frac{\sinh(\pi)}{\pi}}$$ in the comments.

Edit: Be careful when using Wolfram Alpha for series which come your way. Sometimes it is wrong. Example: The series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k(k^2+u^2)}$, and Fixed the series constants appearing. Interestingly $\sum_{k=1}^\infty $\Gamma(i)=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{\sinh{\pi}}}\exp\left(i\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}-1+\int_0^\infty \frac{1}{k^2(k^2+u^2)}$ both evaluate to $$\frac{1}{2z^4}-\frac{\pi frac{\{x\}}{1+x^2}dx \coth(\pi z)}{2z^3}+\frac{\pi^2}{6z^2}$$ which is impossible. The latter is correct, however the former is not. This led to a small error in my previous constant.right)\right).$$
