FINAL FANTASY XVI - Clive & Jill Reunite With Uncle Byron Rosfield

[@Skijaramaz]

Ah, man. Uncle Byron is just straight up my favorite character in this game. He is just such a joy every time he's on screen.

[@charlesmillard596]

It really is sad that Clive is very loved by his family except his own mother

[@Twocoolman115]

IKR? That bitch is for the streets. And even then that’s too good for her

[@kookieman2227]

Bah. Who needs her. Elwin should have divorced the bitch long before that night at Phoenix Gate. Like soon after Joshua's discovery as the Phoenix Dominant.

[@TVHead003]

His family and the former Rosarians. He is a man greatly loved and respected, as he should be

[@IamtheMan1111]

That's strange. His uncle and father are loving him, and they're both not dominant. What's the problem with his mother did not love him just because he's not dominant?

[@TVHead003]

@@IamtheMan1111 because her priorities were severely out of whack. The dominants are a symbol of power for the noble families that birth them and she considered Clive a symbol of her own weakness and failure

[@NoraInu__]

Waterworks started as soon as I saw this cutscene, Clive has lived such a miserable life that seeing him have this moment with his family is so fucking sweet. What a jolly and outrageous man, Byron is

[@loganthevillager9176]

No kidding. I teared up while seeing Clive reunite with one of his superior family members…😢

[@dinorex3464]

My favourite cutscene. There are no Eikons, no fights and no death. Just one of the most heartwarming moments in the game.

[@warriorofspectra8208]

This scene, to me, marked where we see a shift in XVI's tone. Up until this point, there was so much darkness in the game and just this feeling of hopelessness. That no matter how many victories Clive achieves, something bad would overrule that victory. But meeting Uncle Byron, who breaks down in tears and orders a feast at the news that Clive is alive and well, seems to be where Clive's victories start shine brighter than whatever bad things happen. Even in the face of the skies darkening in the final third of the game, I always got the feeling that there was a *chance* to save the world. And a chance was all that we needed.

[@yeettm8014]

Uncle Byron is also one of the reasons Clive was able to control Ifrit properly aswell. People point out the timeskip and how much doesn’t change but the point is Clive has kinda reverted back to square 1 at the new hideaway except in a different setting. He has to go through the motions and figure out who he is while still trying to accomplish their goal. Clive’s purpose is not to be a king or a ruler of men. It’s “extending ideals” as he says which is for the betterment of eachother. It also contrasts Hugo who is the man who wants to be king and have everything to himself.

[@MinNowtesIX]

I'm still going through this game but I tried to make a point to talk to everyone who could be talked to, and this comment reminds me of something Tomes said that I made a note of. "No matter how deep our wounds, we have the capacity to heal. And happiness lost may be found again." I just felt it was especially fitting here.

[@discordcarnival]

This whole scene is so sweet but one of my favorite things is the look of utter confusion on Jill's face during the bit from the play

[@kichonacho800]

Clive’s act was kind of funny but I also couldn’t help crying during this scene, remembering the simpler times during his childhood, and of course the reunion with his uncle

[@kanekikarma4696]

My favorite part of this scene is how the “play” dialogue has double meaning. Byron’s quote has him asking Clive’s character if he has returned from the dead to haunt him, in reality Byron is both continuing the dialogue as well as asking if this is really his nephew he thought was dead. When Clive nods to him, he breaks and quotes the next line, saying something along the lines of “…see thy charge once more”, implying Clive to be his “charge” or “ward”, someone he’s longed to see for years. It’s heartbreaking sweet to see Byron realize that not only is his nephew alive, he’s standing in front of him, grown into an adult. I love it so much. Props to SE for putting so much effort and love into this single scene.

[@kawaiiamethist]

Uncle Byron and Gav were the MVPs of the game in every scene.

[@Shadowmyst1]

I'll be honest. Eyes got misty when this part played.

[@thlydd]

This scene is even more heartbreaking as a FF XIV player. Brings back another scene where he cries.

[@Dr.SiegMostang]

Which expansion? I would know which scene you are talking about if you tell me which expansion

[@thlydd]

​@@Dr.SiegMostang To save on spoilers for those who haven't seen it. "A Broken Shield" The Late Stephen Critchlow, Byrons VA, also played Lord Edmont de Fortemps.

[@dragonITH-nk3yk]

​@@thlyddOH NO

[@aurorablaize]

@@thlydd The Late....oh fuck.....

[@venomshake8187]

He? I’m confused. Not a 14 player but is Byron in there or something?

[@a.figment4991]

Jill's look of "wtaf?" during the whole Sir Crandall sequence is priceless and I will never not laugh my butt off.

[@psychogamer7213]

I like to think that the devs just said "Okay, ENOUGH with the edgy and dark and tortured lore. Let the man have fun with his uncle."

[@newbielives]

Glad I wasnt the only one cutting onions 😅

[@charlesmillard596]

“Well it’s not untrue” 😂

[@loganthevillager9176]

9:39 Something sounds… familiar about the music…🤔

[@jilmerjohncariaso6825]

Well... It's Final Fantasy game

[@hoponpop1261]

Clive is such a good character, someone who would seems like an edge lord who really isn't

[@uzukascarloboshi3829]

Nah, he's just a cinnamon roll

[@Animedingo]

Its amazing how good the non ultima parts of the game are

[@aragornarathorn3299]

Anyone know the music playing from 10:03 till the end?

[@ajibarra23]

Final Fantasy Prelude. It's in a few games, but it reminds most closely to the version from FFXIV.

[@hunterstarmech]

Try FF14 “Discoveries””, it’s right on the mark just feels a little more ambient

[@Motonari11]

It's part of his theme "An Outlaws Uncle" But generally known as Prelude. They seem to put it everywhere. And I'm all here for it

[@itzfrluas]

9:49 this segment had me rolling

[@kookieman2227]

God. Im not up to this part and i just know this is climping up my ranks of Final Fantasy games.

[@Indyrael]

Definitely up there for me ! 😅
