You might wonder what became the fate of certain charactersย in the game, such as Clive. So, if you want to know whether Clive dies inย Final Fantasy 16ย โ we have the answer.
Clive’s Death in Final Fantasy 16
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Final Fantasy 16 and its ending.
The ending ofย Final Fantasy 16ย will provide hints of what happens to the game’s main character but doesn’t show it directly. But based on what we’re given, it is safe to say that Clive does die inย Final Fantasy 16, making it one of the darkest stories told in theย FFย franchise.
Before completing the last section of the game, Clive mentions thatย Ultima’s power is way too potent for its vessel. This means he cannot contain this power, causing his death. Clive says this before embarking on erasing Eikons and magic from Valisthea. After Clive erases Ultima’s legacy, he finds himself stranded on the beach. This is the second hint highlighting why he is dead.
In this scene, you can see that Crystals’ Curse has taken over Clive’s body. This is a common curse among those who bear unique magics. At first, you can see that it’s only his fingertip, but then all over his left hand. As mentioned in the game lore, there is no cure for Crystals’ Curse. By putting everything we have side by side, the chances of Clive’s survival are slim to none. So it is safe to say that he does die at the end ofย Final Fantasy 16.
Final Fantasy 16ย is available for PlayStation 5.
