The five year time gap be like:

#They were absolutely doing everything couples do except for kiss #Logos revealed that they shared a bed #I took Obolus calling them lovebirds as the Hideaway having decided they were a couple #and they had long since given up refuting those claims #cliji #clive rosfield #jill warrick #ffxvi #text post

#It tickles me watching them navigate their new relationship #It is a lot to be reunited after being enslaved for 13 years #They're both too worried about hurting the other to realize what they both want #You just know that they woke up wrapped in each other's arms and were a blushing mess about it #ffxvi #text post #cliji #jill warrick #clive rosfield

FFXVI really takes your hand and says 'come with me', then shows you a world that is broken and full of pain and heartache and selfishness and cruelty. It shows you the terrible things people are willing to do to each other for no good reason, it shows you how how leaders can be short sighed and foolish in their earnest desire to do the right thing for their people, and that causes no less pain then when they are corrupted and arrogant and vain monsters. It shows you how people's cruelty all to often is born of a world that beats them down that gives them no other choice but to be cruel if they want to survive.

And then it asks: is this worth saving? Is this worth protecting? Wouldn’t it be better if you just let it all go? Let it all be destroyed, and broken apart, and lost? Wouldn’t it be enough to just end the pain? Wouldn’t that be salvation?

And in the same breath it answers, no because salvation isn’t the point. Humanity is cruel, greedy, fractious and hateful and it always will be. Just as humanity is kind, generous, united and loving and always will be. Even as the world falls apart The Dame fights to keep Northreach together, even as monsters beat down her gates Martha takes in refugees and escaped slaves and refuses to stop, even as nations crumble and bandits flourish the Dragoons still battle for the sake of their people and country, while the Crusebreakers keep struggling to free the innocent and protect the weak. Even as Joshua is hacking up blood, even as his body is shutting down he keeps walking forward at Clive’s side inevitably, inexorably to the end, because he loves his brother and refuses to give him up to Ultima’s scheme.

FFXVI tells you that there are no promises, not guarantees, that the only people who can promise salvation are the ones who want to sell it. FFXVI says that no one is assured victory, or safety, or paradise. The point is not to save the world from it’s evils. The point is that we fight to try and reach the next dawn with the people we love. Humanity can never create a perfect world because we are imperfect creatures, but the battle to make a better world, a kinder world, a more free world, a more gentle more fair, more loving world is what defines us.

I didn't ask if it made sense to keep going. I said I'm going to kick your twisted evil ass.

Clive: We need to rescue Jill. Fast.

Mid: Leave it to me.

Who would win:

The most decorated warship in the realm

A boat cobbled together by a bunch of hung over college students led by a teenager who clearly should be on adderal, launching its maiden voyage with the sole goal of rescuing her second dad's wife (that he isn't aware he is married to yet)

#I'm just saying that at the end there was only one boat at the bottom of the sea #The Enterprise went 'Noom'#The only reason Clive wasn't panicking was because he was too focused on the task at hand #that task being 'Get Jill back'#He locked in #I always ignore the current sidequests of this section to get to wife #Also shoutout to Mid's college friends for willingly helping to hunt down Barnabas #ffxvi #clive rosfield #midadol telamon #jill warrick #cliji

My older sister isn't as into the same games as me, but one time I was playing FFVII Remake and she started getting invested in the story, because I told her that Cloud would dress in drag and do the hula. Eventually I started making jokes about "one drugs please" and after attempting and failing to explain the joke and what was going on in the game, I just pulled up Machinabridged. After completing season 1, we ended up watching more together.

After season 2 she started watching it on her own, which led to this conversation:

"So how far are you?"

"I think I finished season 3."

"Really? What was the last thing that happened?"

"Aerith died."

"Oh...Did you not already know that was going to happen?"

"No."

And that's how my sister found that Aerith dies through Machinabridged.
