FFXVI - All as One - Clive calls on the Eikons

This is one of the most beautiful and emotional moments in FFXVI to me. Clive calling on the Eikons and being cheered on by friends and family as he fights Ultima

[@TheOttomatic91]

Fun fact when Clive’s dad says ‘Onward My Son’ it’s actually a response to the sidequest at his fathers grave where Clive promised him he would move onward with his life. Joshua’s “forevermore” was also a response to Clive saying he would use the phoenix’s power forevermore prior to the final fight with Ultima.

[@kaaliya82]

I had not thought of that! Just adds to the emotional part of this scene. Thank you so much for sharing this. I so appreciate it. 🥰

@@kaaliya82 I know, right? The layers to this game!

[@lanluhylrean1122]

Gales unrelenting; Garuda! Levin untamed; Ramuh! Earth unyielding; Titan! Light undying; Bahamut! Ice unfeeling; Shiva! Darkness unending; Odin! Flames Unforgiving! With me, Phoenix! (The only time when two opposing ideals finally differentiate.)

[@AcousticTinyRats]

ice unforgiving doesn't really fit Jill tho

[@YumiDodo]

​@AcousticTinyRats its not supposed too. Ultima is calling upon the powers he made for thier intended purpose and meaning. Clive calls upon his allies and friends changing the meaning of each one to be less a tool and each thier own ideal

[@dinorex3464]

​@@AcousticTinyRats Even "Flames unforgiving" for the Phoenix is totally wrong, but that was the point. Ultima misunderstood everything.

[@calebnelson58]

Makes this even more awkward when you realize that Ultima didn’t use Leviathans power why? He had it but didn’t use it even through he knows Clive doesn’t have said Eikonic ability.

[@dinorex3464]

@calebnelson58 Well, the logical explanation is that the DLC was made after the full game, so Leviathan wasn't added to Ultima because they didn't change anything of the base game. However, in the DLC Ultima calls Leviathan his "tainted fragment", which implies that he doesn't use his power because humans have been keeping it hidden for almost a century and so he considers it "tainted" and not worthy of being used by him.

[@quinnfletcher3906]

Something about Ultima is when he called on the Eikons he called on their abilities, but with Clive, he called on the actual Eikons. Ultima sees the Eikons as merely tools to be used while Clive sees them as allies.

[@beastyyz1283]

I see it more as Ultima calling upon their primal nature, what they were in the beginning, but Clive calls upon their identities, what they’ve become over the long years Ultima spent slumbering. Just like how humans evolved to become their own thing, so did they.

[@umitencho]

​@beastyyz1283 It's also a trope in anime & manga that names have more power. To know the true name of something is to have true mastery over it.

[@quinnfletcher3906]

I guess that is why they always shout out attack names.@@umitencho

[@deathbykonami5487]

Makes you wonder how he'd utilize the eikonic abilities of Leviathan after Rising Tide drops. Considering Ultima thought Leviathan was snuffed out centuries ago.

[@33link333]

@@umitencho The whole true names giving power thing is a concept *much* older than anime or manga, with it appearing in old Egytian and Greek myth as well as norse and celtic folklore, probably other places as well that I'm not aware of.

[@JoseLopez-ks9nf]

Notice how he says “with me” only when he calls for the Phoenix ❤

[@deathbykonami5487]

That's cause the Phoenix was always a part of Clive since he received the Phoenix's Blessing when he became Joshua's Shield.

Hearing all of Clive's loved ones while he gets the best of Ultima always gives me goosebumps. Great upload

Thank you. ☺️ Glad you enjoyed it. It is such a beautiful moment. It made the battle a bit more difficult because my eyes got all blurry 😅😅

This is the coolest shit ever. Clive and ultima using all of the eikonic abilities against each other. I was seriously hoping they’d do this and they exceeded my expectations. It’s something I always wanted to see in devil may cry, Dante using all his weapons against a tough or the final boss in a cutscene. I’m glad I got it in ff16 tho :)

[@thedarkknight727]

[@kaederukawa1123]

@@kaaliya82 I mean the gameplay. It is so shallow, there is no real skill involved or depth. It is a combat system designed for casual gaming, aiming to shock the nervous system with huge dopamine releases. I admit it is truly impressive in terms of visual and sound design, but at the end, it is just button mashing until the next ultra cinematic session starts. The game even rewards you with "cinematic attack" bonuses on screen. It completely defeats what the interactivity of videogaming is, imho.

Noctis had almost all his loved ones killed. Yet he stood there took it and died as an actual king on a throne.

Its all cool and all but he deserved a happily ever after. Also I'm kinda sick of protagonists dying at the end of ff games. Jack in strangers of paradise, noctis in 15, clive in 16, and zack in crisis core which are essentially the last 4 titles we have gotten. It can be meaningful and impactful as an ending but it has been overdone.

[@kaaliya82]

In fairness, Jack didn’t die. He became Garland. And as for 16, it really depends on the interpretation you give to the ending as devs have said. You can interpret both ways. Who could tell about that last fight so it be in the book, but Clive? He was the only one there.
