The “Clive Lives” Compendium | All Main Evidence Compiled (Character & Theme Analysis) | FFXVI

#ff16 #videoessay #finalfantasy16 #finalfantasyxvi #ffxvi

Discussing the ending of Final Fantasy 16 / XVI and aiming to circumvent (imo) trash writing.

Does Clive die? I doubt it.

I’m not saying this is the ending, I’m saying this would be the best ending on all accounts. To me, at least.

OSTs used:
Land of Eikons - Reprise
Indomitable
My Lady
In Darkness Hope
The Oppressed (Final Fantasy VII)
Simple & Clean (Kingdom Hearts)
