Let’s get some backstory on Jill in Final Fantasy 16. You first meet Jill at a young age with Clive and Joshua. Initially taken from her homeland after the fall of the Northern Territories, Jill became a ward of the Rosfields. The young brothers quickly took to her, treating her like family.
Jill may survive, but her life is far from easy. Once the Ironblood raided the Duchy, Jill soon found herself kidnapped and now the Dominant of Shiva. For fans of the series, you may recognize Shiva as a prominent summon since Final Fantasy III.

After their confrontation, they come together as they remember their childhood friendship.
