The symbolism of Clive throwing his sword through Ultima at the end of the fight. This is the first time we _ever_ see Clive without a sword during battle... and he finishes the fight with a punch that deals 99999 damage, thus solidifying that it wasn't his magic power, or his skill with a sword, or the Eikons that made him strong. Rather it was Clive, as a person, who possessed the strength required to save humanity all along.
There's two things i learned in this game: Clive doesn't speak much, but when he does shit is about to get down The phoenix cannot heal Ultima's pride since Clive ROASTED the hell out of him for the entire boss fight Best protag ever hands down
The irony, about complaints about how there is no party system in this game and it’s just all about one character when the entire climax is a result of Clive calling upon all those who were there along the way.
I don’t really see irony it’s more about how they pass on their ideals, thoughts, and things spiritually. Clive even says he Carries them with him and that’s why he’s able to keep moving.
@@yeettm8014 sorry, I mis-typed. I meant more of the irony of people complaining that there is no party system and the game is focused on one character when it’s not at all true.
Real shit man, all other final boss final phase bgm are mostly menacing latin chanting, in this game it is an encouraging heroic bgm, as if pushing the back of the players that you are almost there. Fucking love it so much.
For me Ultima is the best FF villain ever. I absolutely feel him. Would i create an ant colony and they suddenly start talking with me and demanding stuff i would also panic. And i definetely not consider them to be strong enough to actually best me until its to late.
i just realized "feel the fire blazing" "feel the blizzard raging" these are the only two lines that start with "feel" because they are connected through the love they feel. man these song writers are Guru's with their words
Yup! Exactly. Similar to how “fear not the” lyrics have to do with Clive acquiring the powers of the villains he faced throughout the story. It almost makes me feel like they are with him in the battle too to help him end ultima
@@andimari9194 Also the "Hear the thunder roaring" for Ramuh/Cid, referencing the fact Cid is the one that initially lead Clive on his path and guide him, and that Clive is following Cid's legacy, very well thought.
Even after all these months I cant stop thinking about this game, man. Regardless of popular opinion and what any award show says, I don't need anyone else to validate how I feel about this amazing experience and I cant wait for what comes next.
Preach brother. We need more of this. Its weak sauce when ppl talk about seeing their game at an award show sponsored by an out of touch industry when all that matter is if it is to your personal taste.
Anyone else find it ironic that ultima says “flame unforgiving” when johsua throughout the entire game and hell almost all the rosarians have been nothing but forgiving the entire game? Ultima couldn’t have been more wrong with that statement in my opinion and it most definitely was done on purpose
Definitely. Also if you noticed Ultima calls out the moves for every Eikon while Clive calls them by their names, which pretty much reaffirms what you just said.
That's not the only one Ultima gets wrong. Off the top of my head, "Ice Unfeeling" and "Levin Untamed" aren't accurate either. Jill is one of the most compassionate characters in the story, and, rebel though he was, Cid was an engineer and his Eikon was a wizard, two professions that are, at least in the modern day, known for harnessing (or taming) lightning.
When the lyrics says "Fear not the tempest wailing Fear not the boulders hailing Fear not the darkness surging Fear not the brightness purging" and the video shows Garuda, Titan, Odin and Bahamut. Perfection.
I love how triumphant and victorious this song is. Even tho Ultimalius uses limit break when it starts, Clive has no fear. That limit break means nothing, you already know that you’re going to win, and there’s nothing Ultimalius can do to stop it. Soken is an absolute legend.
The lyrics really solidify how FINAL FANTASY asf this game is talking about friends and pushing forward unto the end. I fucking love it and Soken is incredible!
4:10 to 4:35 is in my top 3 favorite moments in any media. there’s something about Clive being constantly doubtful and vulnerable even when he’s the most powerful person in the world. finally being able to accept the love and his weaknesses in the face of a world that was inherently built out of fear, mistakes, and greed when throughout the story he could have easily ended up like anyone other dominant/eikon wielder (benedikta, Hugo, Barnabas, Ultima) is so powerful.
I mean, in way not really, lmao, "The only Fantasy here is yours, and we shall be it's Final witness," then proceeded to rock ultimate shit like no one's buisness.
First time final fantasy player here, when my buddy recommened this game i thought it would just be another crappy rpg but i was blown away at all these amazing cutscenes😊
As a fan of the franchise for years, it makes me happy hearing first timers jumping in and enjoying the ride. I've played almost all the games in the franchise and somehow this triumphs almost all of them, making it into my top 3. It was a fantastic experience and it's good to know newcomers love it too.
Great job on this. :) I would suggest changing the title to "ENDGAME spoilers" instead of what you have now, since it's kinda telling by reading that what type of spoiler to expect without even watching the video lol
Yeah lol exactly, had to hide this vid from my friend who is early in the game and vibing to the music because of the title, sort of defeating the purpose. I do appreciate the effort though, and love the vid.
I love how a decent portion of the song is a motif of Maker's Ruin. For those who don't know FFXIV, it's basically the Warrior of Lights AKA, the Player's theme song. Having the motif there is kind of like Soken saying. "It's not just Clive taking down Ultima. It's you, the player taking down Ultima." Particularly noticed it at 3:03
I hate you Yoshida, Endwalker didn’t made me cry and I said it was predictable some stuff in the end of the game. And then you make me feel like shit when I finished this game.I felt sad for 3DAYS!! And Final boss Soken never disappoints. This game is in my top 5 FF games
1:11 "As surely as you know the thrill of pushing your body and soul to their limits. Of confronting ever mightier foes, dancing ever closer to the precipice, wondering if this will be the one to finally, FINALLY fill the void. Such pleasures, you seek for their own sake and no other reason. Is this not so... adventurer?" Zenos-Final Fantasy 14
Does anyone know what the Lyrics are for Ultima phase 1? A far cry from heaven? I find it strange that that's practically the only OST not to have the lyrics in the booklet.
when he says, “it’s always been my fantasy to be with you Ultima. My love for you will never final” and punches him with the love of the entire series 🥹 greatest moment in history of gaming
hi can you do waloeds themes? Its called indomitable (i think it has multiple versions i could be wrong) and then there is its battle version. you also uploaded Stonhyrr battle music already but any of getting its ambience version (Bastion)? Thank you
Sorry, probably won't make it because it's only a minute, it's been in my video before ua-cam.com/video/gaKEvJhosm8/v-deo.html , but I'll consider remaking it. Thanks 🥰

Ending a weapon-centric fight by punching the big bad in the face always felt very personal to me.
Well, you just made this incredible fight even better for me.
It’s the same thing with the Barnabas fight and fighting as men instead of eikons
Humanity may have tools of war but things are real when hands are thrown.
Cool anime sword went swoosh.
"The only Fantasy here is yours, and we shall be its Final witness."
*All Final Fantasy fans that have grown up with the franchise sheds tears*
The hardest title drop of all time
I shed tears throughout the whole fight. It was that epic.
There's two things i learned in this game:
Clive doesn't speak much, but when he does shit is about to get down
The phoenix cannot heal Ultima's pride since Clive ROASTED the hell out of him for the entire boss fight

Every Final Fantasy Final Boss Theme: is about the Villain
Final Fantasy XVI: Final Boss theme is about the Hero
Real shit man, all other final boss final phase bgm are mostly menacing latin chanting, in this game it is an encouraging heroic bgm, as if pushing the back of the players that you are almost there. Fucking love it so much.
You forgot FF14 which there is a boss theme for the hero
"No. NOOOOOO! I CAN'T BE HEARING BOSS MUSIC RIGHT NOW!" -Ultima probably
Especially after using his very own limit break lmao.
"Gale Unrelenting"
Clive: GARUDAAAAAA
Gav: HOOWAY CLIVE!
"Levin Untamed"
Clive: RAMUH!
Cid: Go on Lad!
"Earth Unyielding"
Clive: TITAN!
Mid: Give em Hell Clive!
"Light Undying"
Clive: BAHAMUT!
Byron: THAT'S MY BOY!
"Ice Unfeeling"
Clive: SHIVA!
Jill: TOGETHER!
"Darkness Unending"
Clive: ODIN!
Elwin: ONWARD MY SON!
"FLAMES UNFORGIVING"
Clive: With me, Phoenix!
Joshua: FOREVERMORE!
I was so caught off guard with the line from Gav 😅
Clive called them by name, while Ultima merely called their powers. Clive sees the Eikons as partners while Ultima only saw them as tools.
Reminded me of ff15 and I loved that
reading each one of these gave me fkn goosebumps 😭
Reading this made me tear up
Joshua and Clive are the best representation of brotherly love ever put into a game.
when i think back on it, clive really has grown into one of my favorite video game characters ever
why
@@weirdo7319 I guess mostly because of similar character development between him and I
For me Ultima is the best FF villain ever. I absolutely feel him. Would i create an ant colony and they suddenly start talking with me and demanding stuff i would also panic. And i definetely not consider them to be strong enough to actually best me until its to late.
Yeah hopefully he comes back in a game that has a story.

Ultima," What you seek is but a fantasy"
Jack Garland,"BULLSHIT"
Also Jack Garland.... "Chaos"
Also most likely Jack: “I don’t give a fuck about your fantasy!”
Ultima rants
Jack: SHUT THE FUCK UP! does soul burst

Ultima is the mirror opposite of Clive so it makes sense from a narrative development point of view@@bucketOfPenguin
@@ashm4938 isn't barnabas the anti-clive?
Or well, what Clive could've been if he hadn't found friends to lean on?
When the lyrics says
"Fear not the tempest wailing
Fear not the boulders hailing

Fear not the brightness purging"
and the video shows Garuda, Titan, Odin and Bahamut. Perfection.

Maybe it's just me but I think Clive is the best FF MC so far. Kudos to Ben Starr for his VA as well.
He definitely is for me. Also, he's probably the strongest male protagonist in whole FF. Strongest overall is still Lightning from FFXIII i think.
Happy 1st Anniversary Final Fantasy XVI
I love at the part “Step by Step and hand in hand we March on” you can hear the main FF theme
Yep! Not the Prologue, the goddamn FF main theme!
The lyrics really solidify how FINAL FANTASY asf this game is talking about friends and pushing forward unto the end. I fucking love it and Soken is incredible!

999,999 damage dealt to Ultima as the finishing blow.
"No, mine is the altar of which you pray. Mine are the eyes that look down upon you all!" *Limit Break*
Soken should arrange this with Leviathan being added
It was so cool when Clive said “this is your final fantasy 16 ultima!” And then he iconed all over him
It's hilarious that this isn't actually a joke.
@@rinyahto3852 it is a joke
I mean, in way not really, lmao, "The only Fantasy here is yours, and we shall be it's Final witness," then proceeded to rock ultimate shit like no one's buisness.
@@CaseyCain99 I mean it as an ironic joke.
With me Phoenix! ❤
FOREVERMORE!
That right hook man, Clive really is something else, defeating God with just the fiery fist of justice
Clive ''Our Flames burn as one!!!!🔥🔥🔥'' that always reminds me that I can keep going.
I DON'T CARE HOW CHEESY TITLE DROPS ARE, THAT LAST LINE GIVES ME CHILLS!!!
As a Dragon Ball fan I LOVE THIS FIGHT
No matter what some people say about XVI being a trash, I fucking love XVI. Such a great game.
Real, this game connected with me so hard im so glad it stayed that way even to this day. Cant wait to play the dlc in a few days
Same people are just haters.
Great? What an Understatement! It's beautiful!
The game was trash to them cuz it's not turn based bullshit
2:15 still probably my favorite part of this song both regular and this version, love it
*SPOILER*
*The only fantasy here is yours and we shall be its final withness!*

Still come back for these, damn Soken went so hard on the OSTs
My favorite part was when Clive said " It's Final Fantasy time! " then proceeds to fantasize all over the place 🥸
John Fantasy punch!
Cringe
With me, Phoenix...
Best game of 2023
"Forevermore"

Yeah lol exactly, had to hide this vid from my friend who is early in the game and vibing to the music because of the title, sort of defeating the purpose.
I do appreciate the effort though, and love the vid.
This is pure and utter catharsis. The fight, the song, the symbolism. It's all 100% fire.
This game is just to good great boss fight amazing cinematic and beautiful music
wait a second THIS WAS DONE ON ULTIMANIAC
I love how a decent portion of the song is a motif of Maker's Ruin. For those who don't know FFXIV, it's basically the Warrior of Lights AKA, the Player's theme song. Having the motif there is kind of like Soken saying. "It's not just Clive taking down Ultima. It's you, the player taking down Ultima."
Particularly noticed it at 3:03
That’s a find the flame motif but cool nonetheless
The final boss music being the hero's theme will always be my favorite jrpg trope.
Mortals! The world you seek is but a fantasy!
Finally someone who puts a fucking spoiler warning in the title.
I hate you Yoshida, Endwalker didn’t made me cry and I said it was predictable some stuff in the end of the game. And then you make me feel like shit when I finished this game.I felt sad for 3DAYS!! And Final boss Soken never disappoints. This game is in my top 5 FF games

Can you do logos, the theme that play when you fight ultima risen

I like that the title in itself is a spoiler for anytime who is like less than halfway through the game lmao
hi
can you do waloeds themes?
Its called indomitable (i think it has multiple versions i could be wrong) and then there is its battle version.
you also uploaded Stonhyrr battle music already but any of getting its ambience version (Bastion)?

*spoils the spoiler by putting the name in the title*
Hi, could you do the Phoenix ruins theme please and the phoenix ruins battle theme :)
CLIVE…what’s the situation?
Super Saiyajin theme
I think the final line of the lyrics was a kingdom hearts reference.
Hey, do you think you could get the soundtrack for the scene where Ultima activates Origin? I believe the name is Eschaton
Are you going to do Ramuh’s Theme?
