"doomed yaoi" this, "doomed yuri" that. what about DOOMED SIBLINGS

Joshua Rosfield is a true shield of Rosaria, and I wish that he'd gotten that acknowledgement at the end of FF16.

I want that man to know that he is everything that he looked up to in Clive when he was a little boy. He is brave, he is smart, he is a leader, and despite his frailty, he is not weak.

I want him to know that his brother needed him, that all of his suffering was worth it and appreciated, and that Clive wouldn't have made it very far without him. That he is ultimately Clive's protector and hero, as evidenced when he appeared in Ultima's trap and reminded Clive of who he was.

He even gave Phoenix to Clive in the end, which was a massive sacrifice. Not only was Phoenix keeping him alive, but his Eikon seemed to be the only reason he'd ever felt 'special' or powerful in his life. Sacrificing that to protect his brother was beautiful, considering how against it he was while they were in Ash.

As his English voice actor, Jonathan Case, described, he is "always an Angel, never a God" in a world of gods that made him feel like he wasn't strong enough.

And yet, he never waivers in his resolve, jumping into the fray to help his brother and his friends. He wants to leave them a better world when he departs, since he assumes he's on borrowed time, being born who and how he was.

And yet, he is a defier of fate, and forged his own path in order to love, protect, and ultimately save his brother.

Joshua Rosfield, you are the greatest shield of all.

So I just finished FFXVI and I’m a mess. Some thoughts on the final story beats. 

I see a lot of people saying that Clive, Joshua and Dion survived the final fight. I don’t think so. 

Dion had a transition to white after taking Ultima’s spell at full power. While I want him to be alive and find Terence and live the happy life he should, I don’t think he is. He had his redemption and that was enough for him, though I think a story of him finding purpose when he thought his was to die would be more interesting.

I think Joshua survived and went on to write the book. I see lots of people saying Clive took his name, but that doesn’t seem right. Clive was pressured into taking Cid’s name, which handily functioned as a pseudonym and granted him anonymity. People also associated it with someone who helped liberate Bearers. It had function beyond just honouring Cid. Clive wouldn’t have taken his name, out of respect and lack of necessity. I think Ultima’s power granted Clive the power required to bring Joshua back.

Clive. Sweet, lovable, strong, bold, daring Clive. He didn’t survive. Having used the power of Ultima to fell the last crystal, he himself admitted to not being a vessel fit for it, and we see the Curse start to take over before he closes his eyes for the final time. Jill sees the Star of Metia lose her glow and she knows what this means, signalling to the player the true fate of Clive. When Torgal joins her on the landing deck, he howls in sadness. People say that some side quests hint that he survived, but in Torgal’s quest we see that he looked for Clive even when everyone else thought he was dead. Torgal didn’t go looking for him. In Harpocrate’s quest he tells Tomes that if he lives long enough he’ll use Tomes’ quill to write a book. Clive never wrote a book.

My head cannon is they all survived and lived happy, long lives, but I really don’t think this is the case. 

I would love the DLC to have them all survive and try to keep people safe in a post-crystal world, or have them face the Leviathan’s Mothercrystal, but I’m assuming it’ll focus on character’s pasts, which is also interesting.

All in all 9.5/10 too many tears.

Happy PC release day!

Based on Sewing Circle where only Clive and children can see moogles (which, given the lack of interaction between Nektar and everyone else, is not completely implausible)

Also part 2:

Since it's been acknowledged by official, I think it's safe to upload fanart of adult Joshua now! 😊
