It was weirdly gratifying seeing Clive go all apeshit. Throughout the game, he has always had this strong stoicism about him, even in moments when he is angry or excited still manages to have a certain sense of control. But when he is scolding his mom he goes completely off the rails. I guess it is just a friendly reminder that at the end of the day, he is still human.

[@jordanjackson4840]

Can you really blame him for unloading on her? She made him feel inferior every chance she got, betrayed Rosaria, got Elwin killed, had Clive turned into a branded slave, butchered the branded of Rosaria because she thought they were worthless and refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing she’s ever done. Of all the bad guys in this game, she might be the worst……and that’s saying something considering the lineup of despicable bastards in this game.

[@quinnfletcher3906]

I feel most of the villains have backstories, and reasons WHY they are bad. As far as I know, she does not have any sort of reason.@@jordanjackson4840

Can we get some appreciation for Anabella's voice actress as well? Clive's was of course amazing but I never hear anyone mention Anabella, she pulls of that arrogant self righteousness so perfectly. Especially that change in tone when saying "So long as this bloodline remains unbroken, what does it matter if a nation falls?" just fantastic. Honestly would have loved to see her in the game for longer! (but still eventually getting what she deserved)

No they are all horrible voice actors

[@movinitlikedat45]

@@MrWinnfield Disagree. Christina Cole (Anabella) seems to have a knack for playing villains. Her very first role was as one, opposite none other than Amanda Bynes.

The fact this is most likely the most positive interaction Clive has ever had with Anabella really shows what an absolutely shitty human being Anabella was. Huge props to Ben Starr and Christina Cole. This is probably one of the best-acted cutscenes I've ever seen in a videogame.

[@justindavis-smith8462]

You want to know why the Phoenix didn't choose him, because he has the second Eikon of fire which he didn't know this whole time.

[@lloydau3610]

I don't understand why she was so non-chalant when she discovered Joshua "died" for the first time. Was she in some kind of shock or something?

[@jordanjackson4840]

She never cared. She could’ve claimed that she did until she was blue in the face but that isn’t true in the slightest. Narcissistic greed……..that’s all it was. She never truly cared about Clive or Joshua…………It was always about her, how she would benefit and improve her status…….and funnily enough, she ended up losing everything and ending up with nothing.

[@lloydau3610]

@@jordanjackson4840 I'd have to assume it's a writer oversight because the mental state of Anabelle after she realizes Joshua is dead is nothing like that of after she reunites with Clive. There's no explanation given for this inconsistency either.
