[@ahmcha357]

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

[@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]

@@RangerZero45 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!

[@matthewdesjardins9269]

This confrontation was absolutely fucking epic - their intro monologue gave me chills

​@@drkidd25Ifrit's flames if you hold the attack button you can infuse the next attack in flames

[@TVHead003]

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

[@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”.

[@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]

​@@lindsaymonroe567Those other protagonists are morons and holier-than-thou pricks. But Clive? He's the man

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

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING WTFFFFFFFFF

[@alejandromomota6934]

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

[@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

[@SaberRexZealot]

4:22 this is when I started loving Clive

[@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?

[@hamel4975]

Clive's VA really went ham 🔥🔥

[@kevinkaslana9060]

That's Ben Starr for you. Man kills his role every time.

[@theyondant6088]

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

[@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]

Classic

[@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

[@andimari9194]

“NOW DIEEEE!!” Holy fuck CHILLS EVERYWHERE

[@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.

[@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?

[@Darth_Xionn]

This scene gave me chills, an incredibly intense scene.

[@SuperMarioRPG_FatYoshi]

I got a bit disturbed when Clive cut Kupka’s hands off, that actually sent chills down my spine.

[@KyngD469]

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

[@ChuckPalomo]

This game is so well made. I only wish I could see it under all the particle effects and damage numbers.

[@josephmoore9706]

This comment and 5:30 is hilarious

[@SpydersByte]

@@josephmoore9706 lol yea I tried that 'ruda skill like twice and never touched it again, cant see shit while its going on and it lasts forever >.

Sounds like a skill issue. Try to get comfortable with the bullet hell genre if you think this is overwhelming

[@ChuckPalomo]

@@EntertainMeTVThere's always that one guy trying to self-aggrandize by bragging about skills with videogames 😂. It's just not pretty to look at.

[@alexandermoultrie5595]

12:59 This scene shocked me to the core.

[@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.

[@Wolfspain89]

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

[@crazyanimegamer5667]

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

[@axineight2608]

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

[@Arovian]

[@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.

[@jb-dn5fy]

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

[@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!

[@tigertony7724]

[@otaviocavalo4453]

[@probrend3554]

As insane as 2023 was for video games, this is probably my favorite moment of the year. Waiting for this fight was like waiting for Muhammad Ali v. Joe Frazier

[@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.

[@flintsky82]

Thanks for this one lol. That berserker ring tho!!

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

Two men out for blood, two men who hated each other to the core. They gave each other just enough respect to lay their cases before one another. Then went at it like animals in an epic battle. No mercy, no pity. No heck's given. And they didn't even try to talk each other down. One of my favorite moments is the drums in the lead up to the fight as Kupka was priming himself. Well done!

[@Ziaurelijus]

[@professorcobra2999]

[@lelouchlamperounge7764]

Is there subtle differences between the theme here and the benedikta one when she is fought?

[@TheFoodieCutie]

He doesn't say "I'll KILL YOU!"

[@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.

[@FloofPuppy]

12:58 This moment REALLY caught me off guard and I fucking LOVE IT

[@RemnantSoul]

Me who did this fight in Action Mode just now learning from this combat section that the dodge prompt this player had is from an accessory: 🤯 I fucking memorized the hell out of his attacks and panicked during his AOEs to survive this fight. He never killed me but he made me pop 3 of my 4 nomal potions. Such a god damn amazing fight though!

[@psychogamer7213]

Did Clive just pull off a "It was me, Barry" meme?😂

[@RangerZero45]

I wish that kupka was the only one to say Now Die!!! Because he is pissed. Clive has a calmer demeanor while being upset. Both yelling means ok a battle is going to start. If Kupka is the only one pissed then you have a fight on your hands with an adrenaline rush!!

[@gamerxk1187]

Look no hands 🙌 TAKE THAT NEXT IS THE HEAD Already defeated him and Titan It felt sooo good 👍

[@LavenderSky499]

This fight was really fun except Earthen Fury one-shotted me. I couldn't see how to dodge it. I'm glad dodging it was showed off in this video.

[@lubbo5261]

If i would get a coin for every JRPG i played where a Antagonist loses both hands i would have 2 coins which isn't much but its weird it happened twice.

[@RagnaCloud13]

Okay... Hugo sounds like Patrick Starfish in Pain

[@StormRiderEvo]

Before anyone wonders or starts with that “Press Square to the play the game” bullshit, he’s using an accessory provided in the story based difficulty allowing you to get a free automatic heads up to dodgable attacks. It is in fact, not this easy.

[@TheVirginMeri]

lets not act like this game is even remotely hard on the first playthrough tho

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.
