Final Fantasy 16 - Kupka Boss Fight (4K)

[@ahmcha357]

"Cross you?! I'll KILL you!" One of my favorite Clive quotes so far, just on delivery alone.

[@solracstormhunter3023]

Same energy as Gohan's "Fight you? No, I'm gonna kill you! 😎"

[@settingittowumbo1953]

Ben Starr might be my favorite voice actor just from this performance alone 😭😭😭

[@geekandfreak1558]

04:54 I really love clive here Other protagonists will try to calm Kupka by making him see reason But clive? Man hes not suggarcoating it, He says hes gonna murder him and call it a day

[@Panimal98]

Bro immediately chose violence. No Naruto or Steven Universe. No Batman or Sora. My man went in, and we love him for it. No amount of "redemption" would ever make up for what Kupka did.

[@arrgber]

Hugo Kupka slaughtered the people in his hideaway, destroyed his hometown of Rosalith, and almost had Jill executed. Why would Clive want to reason with the guy?

[@slammurai6492]

​@@Panimal98That's what I appreciated about how 16 treats Kupka. A lot of media will have the protagonist kill the bad guy and mope around like "I killed him that means I'm just as bad as him 😢" But Kupkas death is celebrated at the hideaway cause he was a bad man, did bad things and hurt a lot of people. Fuck those kind of people

[@lindsaymonroe567]

@@arrgberother protagonists have had the same things done and even worse, and they still somehow manage to try and reason with their enemies. Clive said “fuck all that”

[@ikmalkamal5830]

I particularly loved the music that plays when they square up to each other. When Hugo suits up and Clive draws his sword

[@JonathanRiverafrickinnice555]

That synchronized "Now DIE!" is so raw.

[@kevinkaslana9060]

Even the "Cross you?! I'll _kill_ you!" was fuckin' raw. Clive really gave zero shits for Kupka hurting Jill.

[@CojaGamez]

​@kevinkaslana9060 Not just that, but also Hugo ordered the slaughter of the original hideaway so yeah Hugo is deep on clives shitlist

[@Kalakauai123]

Kupka lost his love interest and Clive lost a lot friends at his hands, of course they be pissed at each other.

[@CojaGamez]

@@RangerZero47 What a strange complaint

[@kevinkaslana9060]

​@@CojaGamezFuck being deep on Clive's shitlist, Kupka was on his KILL LIST! Lesson well fucking learned - hurt Clive's woman, he will mess your day up, be it himself OR as Ifrit!

[@KAMProductions]

2:06 this dialog made Clive one of the best protagonists in all of Final Fantasy.

[@theyondant6088]

Clive straight up pulled a "It was me, Barry!" on Kupka.

[@youiri65]

pardon me for saying this, but Hugo looks like a really jacked up Jack Garland lmao

[@Lucas-st1xq]

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING WTFFFFFFFFF

[@alejandromomota6934]

I’d pay billions to see a fight with Clive against Garland

[@DeltaD36]

“My hatred for you is unyeilding, unending” is still as greas as it is in XIV. Also Tumult almost gave me a healer heart attack.

[@yaboi2500]

Did Landslide also give you a heart attack?

[@SaberRexZealot]

4:22 this is when I started loving Clive

[@katherinelikesstuff]

i really appreciate how they took the woman goes insane because of a man an flipped it upside down for kupka. i think his VA did a super good job of capturing the rage, sorrow, and depressive state

[@lakeslake4122]

I fucking love how Kukpa destroys his home town and he replies by “I killed your bitch and I enjoyed it come at me”.

[@acejumper1681]

Kupka and Vlive were savage during this whole sequence.

[@AnotherCamilo]

I like how the channel named this video as "Kupka boss fight", because "Hugo boss fight" sounds like a high-class designer getting into a fistfight with Giorgio Armani at a fashion show.

[@GenocidalSquid]

…what the fuck?? 😅

[@shrekonion7032]

What?

[@TheEmperorHyperion]

I mean... Street Fighter III *did* have a big guy named "Hugo".

[@MakeAmericaLiftAgain]

[@Darth_Xionn]

This scene gave me chills, an incredibly intense scene.

[@Thedrewster9194]

“NOW DIEEEE!!” Holy fuck CHILLS EVERYWHERE

[@gruma6581]

13:01 one of the best uses of slowmo I've ever seen in a game

[@yellowbeard1]

The look of dawning surprise and horror as his hands fly away from him. Beautiful. For players, I know for myself at least, I had a split second of “wait, is this what I think it is” and a feeling of joy as Hugo’s expression changes. It was a nice moment of player feelings mirroring the characters feelings

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

One could say it was a handy use of cinematic slow mo xD

[@Noelv1]

Man I absolutely loved this fight sequence and the second half but nothing can’t beat the dialogue between both before the dual.

[@julesmcgarry819]

nothing can't? you a moron?

[@DarthPingu07]

Mega "you hurt her, I hurt you" vibes from Clive here. The only time we truly see Clive lose his cool. Everything from the obnoxious "I did" and "she was looong past saving" to the rage he shows when he says "no pity... And no mercy!" But it's this line; "cross you?... I'LL. KILL YOU!" It was absolutely perfect. It truly shows how much he loves Jill before their romance even kicks off properly. Best couple in final fantasy by a mile and the best written.

[@ProsecutorXIII-Gold]

Just did this boss yesterday and I said "oh shit" the same time Clive had said it because what the hell 😭 this fight was absolutely amazing though.

[@KyngD469]

This fight was so sick! Just beat him last night! Oh my God.

[@alexandermoultrie5595]

12:59 This scene shocked me to the core.

[@tylerbish7497]

Geez I love the fact that Clive was trying to piss Hugo Kupka off! And even the line at 4:43 as well! Hugo: It is time, you learned.... what becomes of those who DARE to cross me! Clive: Cross you?! I'll KILL you!

[@axineight2608]

2:49 hugos speech gives me chills, it starts out calm and slowly builds towards a wrathful insanity

[@solracstormhunter3023]

2:16 Bro pulled here the "It was me, Barry" line with a straight face. 💀👀

[@jb-dn5fy]

God bless that was cool. "You'll get no pity from me, Kupka. No pity.. and no mercy!" COLD!!

[@Wolfspain89]

This boss name in polish is great, literally it's "little sh..".

[@crazyanimegamer5667]

That's freaking hilarious!!! Hahaha!!!

[@Waltersop]

Finally, FF is back to being story driven, linear and cinematic as hell, buying a ps5 for this!

[@glemmstengal]

final fantasy has been linear since X and why is that a good thing

[@Waltersop]

@@glemmstengal No open worl bs, no waste of time, more detailled levels, better polish and graphics. Also FF was linear way before X, 7 was damn linear too. It simply had one large map that connected levels but said levels were linear as well.

[@DrossRotzank]

@@Waltersop The only bullshit here is what you say to yourself in order to convince you FF was "always linear". This is a button-mashing crapfest. A triumph of style over substance. Story is a George R. Martin rehash dumbed down for FF audiences.

[@thecatboy7494]

​@@DrossRotzankno :)

[@quazar4773]

@@Waltersop The weakest part of the game is the open world and side quests. Other than that the main quests are pretty good but what shines the most are the final stages and boss battles for each big fight.

[@kevincamp3703]

So can you increase the attack speed? These slashes seem way faster than what I experienced in the demo

[@Timbershake]

Thats from limit break

[@MenrvaS]

It was from Berserker Ring. It will let you do the weaker version of limit break combo (can magic burst) for a few second after precision dodge.

[@kldeshesky]

@@MenrvaSSo the Berserker Ring is what caused this fire from the start?

[@MenrvaS]

@@kldeshesky Yep. Normal precision dodge will be changed into a short blink as you can see from the start too.

[@ajcsorny5709]

I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'm pretty convinced that Hugo Kupka is based on Thanos. He's the Dominant of an Eikon called "Titan", which right there is a red flag, his appearance matches the MCU version of the Mad Titan if he was a human being and he's head over heels for a woman who doesn't really love him back while essentially being a pawn for a powerful enemy that wants to cause death on a massive scale. The conflict he excites against Clive lasts for five years, like how Thanos' decimation over half of all life in the universe lasted in the MCU, and, as the end of this video shows, he loses BOTH of his hands, so he won't be snapping any fingers anytime soon.

[@bryand8879]

“YOU GIVE EARTH-BENDERS A BAD NAME” -Toph Beifong Something Toph would probably tell Kupka, but to be honest she would probably call him a SIMP of NOT insignificant proportions. 😅

[@smokedpaprika3753]

Man, Clive is a total savage. The way he delivers the lines. The voice acting is superb. He might be my favorite protagonist from any Final Fantasy ever. And this game goes into my top 5 FF games, even if it's more like DMC and less of an RPG. And i like that. Meanwhile Kupka looks intimidating, but he is totally a Tier 3 Sub simping for a whore.
