Final Fantasy 16 - Joshua's Death Scene Will Make You Cry

[@dinorex3464]

Sad fact: Ben Starr (Clive's voice actor) stated that his father passed away shortly before this scene was shot, and so he poured some of his grief into the scene. DAMN, YOU CAN FEEL IT.

[@matthewbuckley7757]

I heard about that it makes this scene even sadder, I recently played this on steam and it’s a great game the boss fights were amazing

[@FBIStatMajor]

Whoever voiced Clive deserves a million a-list va roles going forward. He perfectly captured the anguish of losing a brother, he sounded just like I did when I lost mine

[@blublugamingchannel]

Sorry for your loss brother... 🤗🤗🤗

[@mimbaoJH]

The way he cried felt…so painful and real. Having a brother, seeing this made me real upset

[@nemi9217]

⁠@@mimbaoJHit was for sure real in a sense, Ben Starr’s dad died during his time working on this game and it helped him pull out these raw emotions when voicing Clive

[@mikey24601]

same with whoever Mo-Capped him!

[@BernadetteNewberry]

His voice acting was so good that I got flashbacks to a time when I was grieving and kept sporadically crying for the next 24 hours after playing :( it’s too real

[@inspectorkenobi]

The voice actors did such an incredible job. This game is my GOTY and not even a zelda might stop us!

[@blublugamingchannel]

Yes sir oh how I wish for this

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

Ff16 might win over zelda as "Best Action Game" and " Best Soundtrack" . Especially the latter and Im calling it rigged if it doesnt

[@blublugamingchannel]

totally agree

[@ElectricFeel422]

This game is so much better than TOTK it’s not even funny.

[@alexwgn21]

I just experienced this scene ingame and had to take a break afterwards. It really tore me up. Those who have a brother feel this moment much more intensely 💔

that is some of the realest crying i've ever heard from a videogame, there's no way clive's actor was just acting there, i didn't just watch him cry, i felt him cry.

WOW I cried as much as Clive did here, everytime he shrieked or had another bout of crying I DID TOO ugh that bond between them hit so hard…

[@yuki_szm]

I have 2 little brothers who I cherish more than anything. Seeing that scene just a few days before I leave our home to move for uni and so not being able to watch for them as much as I usually do was so painful. This moment impacted me to the point I started to avoid any content related to it because it's just too much...

[@lailas3301]

ben starr absolutely needs to win best performance at the game awards. every actor in this game really gave it their all. what a tragic scene 😭 ❤

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

Bet Yuri Lowenthal has a higher chance even though I want Ben to win since Spiderman 2 was more well received

[@jackdubs25]

This scene shattered me. I have a little brother who I’d do anything for, this hit really hard. When he said, “Thank you for being my brother,” I lost it.

[@EikonnODIN]

Man, I lost it to this scene. The voice actor almost feel like a me losing a real brother. Epic game. For me the GOTY of 2023 no doubts.

I’m saying this as a lifelong Zelda fan this game has a far better story miles above tears of the Kingdom’s crappie, plot line and got awful cheesy Saturday morning cartoon voice acting.

@@sLasHeRxXx07 dude ikr keep in mind I’m actually at Director myself so I can’t fully blame the voice actors a lot of it seems like it was completely attentional by Nintendo to make it have that cheesy sonic the hedgehog early 2000s Saturday morning cartoon voice acting. I don’t think the voice actors fit the body is the best, but I also think that they were given very bad direction and clearly Nintendo is a good 20 years behind the majority of voice acting in modern video games.

I know this is late in the story, but does no one find it weird that Clive hasn't apologized to Joshua for almost killing him? I mean even in their reunion, I didn't get why Joshua was the one who apologized?

He may be apologizing for not showing himself to Clive earlier while he was alive. Clive believed for years that he had killed his brother and suffered for it, Joshua had to know that.

[@griggins]

@@VictorChoo-y5r Ehhh... could've been Clive survived and took Joshua as his pen name, or someone else. Josh very clearly did not appear to be alive after what Clive did, just had the body cleaned up. If he was just resurrected after all that, the entire scene would have been a waste.

[@VictorChoo-y5r]

@@griggins Torgal instincts wouldn’t be wrong. Jill cried and Torgal howled. When the morning came, Jill smiled because Clive created a world which they longed for. But it could be the other way (both of them survived or Clive survived), this is the reason why the writer gives us an open ending. Although there’s a lot of hints from side quest hinting Clive might be alive. But my perspective still put in this way. Clive claimed ultima power and used the power to resurrect Joshua and then used all the power to destroy the mothercrystal. Which resulted him turning into stone. FF16 circle around the two brothers since the beginning, Clive being Joshua Shield - He thought Joshua was dead - Live in guilt and despair - On journey to revenge whoever killed Joshua - Realized he was the one killed Joshua - On Journey again to find out more about Ifirit - Found Joshua - Swear to Protect Joshua - Joshua Dead - Sacrificed himself to revive Joshua - Created a better world for his loved one - Die as a hero.

This ending was terrible. I don't have any brothers, but I have one sister and one non-binary sibling. It still hurts to watch someone's sibling die.

[@Spanluver]

Really? How disrespectful to call your brother non-binary especially when referencing this moment. Especially. That’s your brother and you share a bond and you felt that in this scene don’t cap. It’s ok for someone to call themselves something but that doesn’t mean what he is TO YOU changes I’ve heard some heartless comments but to watch this scene and not feel closer to your brother and to call him non-binary is evil. Don’t rob him nor you of this moment in game .
