It's easy to assume the secret to Final Fantasy is nailing those big epic bombastic moments (which this one does), but most importantly, it nails the quiet moments too. At 1:17:08 notice the near silence of that moment -- the most important moment. The moment that defines Clive's entire character. Crushing, unbearable silence. "Joshua". Then, the title drops -- no music. The title art is Ifrit and the Phoenix. It seems obvious but it would have been so easy to mess this up in favor of more spectable. But no. You have to face the silence. God DAMN that's good.

ive got a feeling joshua is alive, partly due to the fact that his "death" happens while hes in phoenix form, and well the phoenix is the phoenix. plus we saw him "die" at the end of the gameplay segment of the fight, and he just comes right back after that

[@Xenmaru00]

In the battle, he was at full power, if not entirely controlled. After, during the cutscene, he was badly hurt, and being physically ripped apart, not attacked by flames. If we use even slight gameplay to story conversion, had Ifrit used flames on Joshua, its possible he could have used those flames to re-fuel himself. But if you notice, Ifrit stopped using elemental attacks, and stuck to physical blows, beating and ripping at him. Which means that its possible an Eikon could recover itself if surrounded by/struck by/treated by its own element. But Ifrit went literal savage mode, and when Joshua hit him with the flamethrower, Ifrit tanked it easy, then kept Joshua from doing it again. Then it looked like Ifrit *absorbed* Joshua's powers. If you notice, Phoenix looked a lot less glowy before the end, in fact, it looked like a normal, if giant, red-colored bird, just before it got fisted, then exploded. as well, if you fail the DPS check in that bit before Joshua comes back, he *doesnt* come back. its a game over. if we take that into story account, then that means that Joshua *needed* the extra time, or Ifrit was *too weak* upon DPS check success, to throw his full power. As well there's lore in the demo that says the more power a Dominant uses, the more like their Eikon they become, as well as pushing themselves closer and closer to Actual Death. Joshua already re-raised himself once, its very likely that he would have had to return to Human form, and get a LOT of rest, before he could do it again.

IMO the only hope for Joshua's return is the fact that he is the dominant of Phoenix and he might somehow return to life like a Phoenix being reborn from the ashes

[@Xenmaru00]

very unlikely. Others in the family line were Phoenix's Dominant and they're Dead dead. And they likely died of old age/power overuse. Also it looked like Ifrit was somehow draining the Phoenix's power just before he performed on-the-spot bare-handed Open Heart Surgery on the poor lad. The second "part" of the demo shows a few hours later into the game and has Clive (unknowingly) doing something similar to what This Ifrit did, to another Dominant; the whole "i'mma drain your power" thing.

Seeing as Joshua was "THE PHEONIX" Eikon/Dominant/whatever you call it.. Part of me suspects he will indeed live, ya know? Plus you don't see corpse or anything and storytelling 101, if you don't see the body (and even then in some cases they come back!) be skeptical of if they are truly dead, ya know? ...ya know..? But yeah, i have no actual idea and i cannot WAIT to play this game the moment my PS5 lets me start it up!!!! Haven't been this hyped for a (non XIV expansion) game in a long long LONG time.

I am starting to think it's common for everyone to skip the lore mechanism of the game, hopefully people don't get confused later and blame the game xD.

@@raskolnikov6443It certainty isn’t vital, but it is nice to have. I imagine that with Yoshi P as producer it will have enough of a story structure to make us understand it without needing a lore grimoire.

Lore mechanism? lmao The tutorial literally mentioned that all of it can be viewed in some sort of codex/database later on. So I seriously don't know why tf some of you trying to act superior and above others just because you used the ATL function.

This almost as Shulk beat for the best "I'll kill you!" In video games.

It’s like if Ned Stark was married to Cersei Lannister.
