The debate about what actually happens to Clive has been raging for a while, but the development team doesn’t plan to say one way or the other. Final Fantasy 16’s Clive Rosfield has a clear least-favorite Cid. When asked who he would kiss, marry, and kill across the whole Final Fantasy series, Starr took the chance to kill off Final Fantasy 12’s version of Cid, who he called one of the most “abhorrent” characters in the Cid lineup. This isn’t an uncommon opinion considering he’s the only villainous Cid in the series, but now it’s got an expert opinion backing it up.
“I’ve got to marry Rinoa… do you know, for the whole series, it would probably just be Final Fantasy 8 characters. Let’s spread it out. I would kill Cid from Final Fantasy 12 – I genuinely think he’s one of the most abhorrent characters in the pantheon of Cids.” Considering Starr has worked alongside unarguably the best Cid in the whole series, if there’s anyone whose opinion on Cid you want to listen to, it’s him.
An action RPG from Square Enix Creative Business Unit III, Final Fantasy 16 takes place in the world of Valisthea. As Clive Rosfield, First Shield of Rosaria, you embark on a quest to find your missing younger brother.
