My photog was a hero and insisted we go out in the sideways rain for this Twinside shoot and I am losing my mind at the results!!

(had to make sure Terence was represented too <3)

“What do you know of my blood?”

Dion Lesage from Final Fantasy XVI

[reges-regen]

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.
