Final Fantasy XVI is a dark fantasy action RPG set in the world of Valisthea, a land divided into powerful nations that rely on magical crystals called Mothercrystals. Magic is fueled by people known as Bearers, who are often oppressed and treated as property. The world is also threatened by a spreading blight that slowly makes the land uninhabitable. The story follows Clive Rosfield, the eldest son of the Archduke of Rosaria. After a tragic attack destroys his homeland and seemingly kills his younger brother, Joshua, Clive spends years seeking revenge against the mysterious force responsible. Along his journey, he discovers the truth behind the legendary Eikons (powerful summoned beings such as Phoenix, Ifrit, Titan, Shiva, and Bahamut) and the people known as Dominants, who can wield their power. As Clive uncovers the secrets of Valisthea, the story shifts from a personal revenge tale to a struggle over the fate of humanity itself. Alongside allies such as Jill Warrick (She turns out to be a Dominant, hence where Clive runs into her, tries to kill her twice only to realizes that she is his childhood friend. He saves her, and that’s where he meets Cid—and Cidolfus (Cid) Telamon (a Dominant), he fights to end the cycle of oppression, free people from dependence on magic and the Mothercrystals, and challenge the godlike being manipulating the world from the shadows. Overall, Final Fantasy XVI is a story about freedom, sacrifice, destiny, and breaking cycles of suffering, featuring large-scale wars, political intrigue, emotional character relationships, and spectacular battles between gigantic Eikons.

He is in his early twenties as if now. He was ten when he “died.”*
