      Coupled with the INCREDIBLE facial animations for all the characters.
      It's amazing, I love final fantasy and kingdom hearts, but let's be real, the characters always sounded so bland and/or the dialogue was poorly translated.
      I was not ready for this to be such a cinematic masterpiece and for the dialogue to be so well written / voice actors to actually have so much passion.

If you were just aquiantent with a slave who deserted, you'd die for it even if you didn't help them run away.

The traumatic experience of killing his own brother, led to him creating and living a lie, that he didn't kill Joshua but a "second eikon of fire" did. It's very Jungian in psychology.

      I still don't really understand why Clive killed Joshua? Obviously their relationship is very good, Clive doesn't seem to has a problem with Joshua, like he is secretly jealous with Joshua, or something like that. It doesn't make sense to say that this fight is about getting rid of Clive's evil mind, because he doesn't has an evil mind, at least according to what's shown in the game. If so, he really is being controlled by someone, and the "Ifrit" that fought him represents this controller, right?

      We may have all committed some wrongdoings and the future may be a scary thing, but we still press forward and accept the consequences. The truth is always bitter and many people decide to hide themselves behind lies so they feel whole, but just looking in the mirror makes the truth feel so demoralizing. To forgive yourself is to accept who you really are and make amends with the crimes you've committed. It's not an easy thing to do, but we all must do it eventually. There can be no truth without a lie, and there can be no purpose without a motive.

    As so as the fight continues- Ifrit showed him indeed what he truly is; Clive himself.
    For Clive to mutter out the sentence: "Still you deny it, even when the truth's staring right at you."
    It wasn't up until even after that fight where his younger self and his older self both come to terms to what he truly is....Ifrit. The one who killed Joshua.
    The first time I played through this, I wasn't very much aware HOW much is actually happening. Why is the fight continuing despite Clive already having accepted the truth prior? Why is his younger self coming in and disappearing AGAIN even though he's already accepted it? All because of symbolism. For Clive throughout the entire fight didn't accept it fully. But pressed on forevermore despite how hard it is to accept that he indeed is Ifrit.
    Love this game.

    Would have been cool if "Limit Break" lets you pick a Dominant, then that element becomes your limit break and changes ALL your Eikon moves to something similar, but with the currently chosen Eikon's element.
    Allowing for a much broader moveset (and using the abilities the boss used here, like Hellfire, Hammer and Anvil, etc.)

    I like the subtle detail of Clive’s eyes when he transforms. The first two times he becomes Ifrit, his eyes are yellow to show he’s a mindless beast in that form. After he confronts and accepts his past, his Ifrit eyes become blue to show he has full control.

    • @kevinkaslana9060
      @kevinkaslana9060 4 місяці тому +4

      It's even implied that the first two times Ifrit was called upon (the first time was thirteen years ago at Phoenix Gate, the second was thirteen years after the fall against Garuda), we see him as a ruthless, lumbering demon. However, as Clive calls upon his Eikon the more it's needed, he has better movement and control. So not only does it show the blue eyes coming back to form, it also implies that he is becoming one with Ifrit, learning how to summon it at will.

    As I played this boss fight I finally got the will to end one of poems I was writing a while ago. At the end of the writing it, I thought it is fitting well to Clive at this exact moment. Here it is:
    Once I stood in fear's cold clasp,
    A specter of doom in its deadly grasp.
    A fate of ashes, a destiny so bleak,
    In the shadow's heart, I dared not speak.
    Yet, in the abyss, a glimmer did shine,
    A beacon of hope, a divine sign.
    A chance emerged from the spectral glow,
    A path to tread, a way to go.
    I seized the moment, embraced the light,
    Summoned my courage, prepared to fight.
    The tables turned, the game anew,
    My strength reborn, my spirit grew.
    The foe who sought to claim my form,
    To reduce me to ashes, to the norm,
    Met his end in the light's bright flash,
    Turned to ashes in a single clash.
    So, I stand here, not as ashes, but as flame,
    A victor in this perilous game.
    In the face of fear, I found my worth,
    A phoenix rising from the earth.
    It may not be 100% fitting, cause that was not intended at first, but I think that at the end it fits damn well good.

      Because Clive went through worse shit and struggled endlessly for over 13 years. Then overcame his trauma and desire for revenge to help others.
      Cloud pushed all of his friends away for two years over Aerith’s death and became kind of a dick to everyone. It wasn’t until Sephiroth’s return and Aerith’s spirit telling him it wasn’t his fault for him to stop being mopey. Don’t get me wrong, I love Cloud and he has very humanistic flaws, but Clive simply endured way worse and came out a better man when all was said and done.
      That being said, Cloud will probably get better with the Remake. I don’t think Advent Children is considered canon anymore in the new timeline. Plus Remake’s Cloud thus far has been more engaging and fun than his original counterpart
