And because Final Fantasy XVI has an epic story spanning decades of time we get to see Clive in both the larval pretty anime sword boy and glarey anime sword man phases of his Pokemon evolution track. Let’s just accept the fact that we’re a Clive, now. But let’s try not to hold it against the game. The sort of person who talks slowly in a Birmingham accent and corners you in a party to drone on about how he’s going to join the army but when he does he drops out after three days after his mum calls his superior officer and asks them not to shout at him so much.

Well, there’s a specific kind of person I associate with the name Clive. I know Clive is a less common name in the US and downright exotic in Japan but in Britain and Australia it’s just a dude’s name. I don’t know how well my reaction will translate, here.

So who’s the iconic hero to be added to the hall of legends alongside Cloud, Squall, Lightning, and several others not named after weather patterns? It’s Clive. Mainline, no less, none of this Crystal Chronicles or Stranger of Paradise twattery, there’s a roman numeral on the end and everything. Well invert my nipples and call me a minigolf course if it isn’t a Final Fantasy game. We have a merch store as well: Visit the store for ZP merch.
