*whispers* ... hot damn ...

Dion must be a CBU3 favourite because the way he survives his bossfight it's hilarious like!!!

Benedikta is killed by a berserk Clive with zero experience, Kupka becomes stone after eating one (1) crystal shard and can't even land a slap on Ifrit and then we have Dion who's slowly dying from the curse and having the worst day of his life and after:

-Slurping the entire Twin's mothercrystal

-Fighting two Eikons at the same time

-FLYING INTO THE FUCKING SPACE

-Casting not only flare but also mega flare, giga flare, TERA FLARE AND ZETTA FLARE

-FALLING FROM SPACE IN HIS HUMAN FORM????'

he manages to survive with only a cut on his forehead and with enough energy to throw his spear at his evil little brother LIKE

Dion is just built different there is no way he died in the battle against Ultima my man cannot be killed it's just a scratch he's fine trust me

Final Fantasy XVI

Last night I got to the game where Clive and Jill finally I'd like to think that Cidolfus Telamon looks down on the world from above somewhere and thinks "F*ckin finally"

I do not have a picture, I just wanted to get this out of my system

[pugadaa]

‼️Spoilers‼️

I should not have taken that side quest 😭

[braveryhearted]

Meanwhile Clive meeting Gortash be like:

[jhessail]

"Pretty as you are, you're not my type" THEN WHY WAS HE STRIPPED CID!?

[nightblood]

I didn’t expect an actual canon gay couple in this game but it’s a nice surprise.

Also I’m super happy Dion and Joshua seem to be joining up. Because I like Dion. He seems like a genuinely decent dude unlike his dad and step mother.

[colorisbyshe]

i'm actually extremely pissed off at ff xvi's ending

truly the coward's way out narratively. entirely generic finish. ends up saying nothing besides 'friendships is my power.' also entirely gutless to have clive's father secretly be anti slavery all along when one of the first scenes in the game is a slave cowering before his son.

like??

god i'm so glad hte ff games are so distinct from each other nad lack the same teams working on them so the taint of this one will like... barely affect my enjoyment of the others but like...

character wise? barely any development i didn't even cry when peopel died because it's like... why should i care? i have been shown clive bonding with you for five seconds. i enjoyed the CONCEPT of a few characters but they were handled poorly

like dion being RIDDLED with guilt but then in his last moments he apologizes to his FATHER??? NOT THE CITY HE DESTROYED???

jill barely ever mentioning the whole... trafficking thing

jote not even coming up again like... where'd she go

narratively? cowardice and ultimately a generic "european fantasy" tale with a sci fi edge

this story lacked joy but also lacked emotional ties. it misses the camp of past ff titles and fills it with a grit that is so trend chasing it weighs exactly nothing.

everything is muddled. all this game says is like... free will exists, friendship is power, monarchy is fine though

i'm just?????

beautifully designed. some GREAT gameplay ideas and QOL stuff like being able to pause nad get more information

in so many ways, outside of the wretched boss battles, this is a masterclass of game design.

but it's a nice gift wrapped in dog shit.

i can't bELIEVE how pissed off i am rn

Title: Forever, My Treasure, My Star Category: M/F, M/M Pairing: Clive Rosfield/Jill Warrick , Dion Lesage/Terence , Joshua Rosfield & Jote    Fandom: Final Fantasy XVI Rating: Mature (May change)

Summary:

Valisthea continues to crumble under the weight of the expanding Blight, and those who remain after Origin's Mothercrystal fell from the sky are forced to find a way to survive in a land now bereft of magic. Jill saw it herself: the fires of Metia have gone out. The red star, the embodiment of hopes and wishes, is no more. And with it dies her heart. However, what if Metia's star didn't grant wishes? Rather, what if it was a beacon in which all of Valisthea's hopes and dreams coalesced – a powerful spell not unlike what Ultima had planned. But unlike Ultima's schemes, this power would herald the dawning of a bright, new age upon the world. ...If only its hero can find his way home... *** I'm still in the early stages of writing so tags will change. I haven't decided on Rating yet, so it's Mature for now. There might be sexy scenes later, but idk. I just want everyone to live and be happy, so we'll see where this goes!

Rough Draft of Akira's Final Fantasy 16 verse.

Mostly isekai'd / transported into the world, as in his magic doesn't have cost issues except for like getting a good nights rest. His age is between 18-19 and is after the Strikers sequel. He wears his phantom thief attire but sometimes doesn't have his overcoat on himself due to the clothing being somewhat an obstacle because it keeps getting caught on stuff.

Goes by the name Arsene, as this name is more in line with the world of Final Fantasy 16's setting. Can use the jump command despite not being a Dragoon class. Uses mostly knives as his melee weapon but can and will use his magic-like gun to defeat monsters and the like. The other weapon does raise some eyebrows but most are wanting to free the realm, too busy to really question it. Curse magic is his main ability but is shown to use other elements to his advantage.

Sometimes is the Dominant of Alexander, transforming into a living breathing castle and is good at being the ultimate defense. Not tied to an element and doesn't even have the penalty effects of normal Dominats. But does suffer from the ability to go back to his home world if he uses it for too long. Only uses the form sparingly.

If he's not a Dominant, then he has full access to his personas but still needs to level up to use the more powerful ones. He has to explain that no, these are not Eikons but demons / shadows that come from mankind, not from some god or otherworldly presence.

Joins the party and resistance before the battle of Drake's Head. No one really questions his existence and his quick thinking makes him tell everyone that he crossed from the seas beyond the continent like their leader Cid had done previously. Constantly wears a permanent smirk on his face, causing others to comment on how there is a guy smirking ( him ) and a guy scowling ( Clive ).

People that are warm to him right away are Jill, Gav and Cid. Clive takes a few months to come around but is appreciated of Akira's sometimes somber silence and quick wit with strategy, which is valuable all around, even in the battle field. Akira also quotes words and actions from the play Clive likes, taking the field as Mordu ( sp? ) and makes a really good villain. He quickly tries to know as much about this world as he can and is usually found near Harpocrates's location in the hideaway. Akira is still a huge charmer, even in this world. Too bad most of them are looking at Clive and his outfit.

What happens to him during the end game is purely speculation but he mostly makes it back home, despite all the connections he made in this world.

Joshua Rosfield

[lost-lux]

The way I started shipping phoenixflare is hilarious because it was all the Italian's dub fault!

When I saw Joshua's roadside scene with Jote I already knew that Dion had a boyfriend (who was his childhood friend) because I caught a spoiler on twitter, and so when Joshua started talking about Dion with his Italian voice so dreamy and full of emotions I thought "Oh fuck are we gonna witness their love story?!" and he just...kept using that tender tone every time he talked about Dion.

Joshua's italian voice really warped my perception of him because I continued to play the game while fully convinced he was painfully pining for Dion.

Some more Final Fantasy XVI impressions. The game is amazing and definitely one of the GotY candidates for me.
