The art looks fantastic. That key art though of Clive has now become my phone wallpaper. It looks awesome.

Final Fantasy XVI teaser site open with more details. Main character is called Clive Rosfield
- Thread starter Dreamboum
- Start date
You know this game is going to be good when the only nitpick people can make so far are the ordinary names.
As a french it sounds perfectly fine tbh. I mean, Shadow's real name in FF6 is Clyde.
Also let's remember that Lightning real name in the localized version is Claire.
I'm seeing Odin honestly, you can even see his spiked helmet a tiny bit on far left.
Nah, there's the shitty graphics from that first trailer to nitpick about too.
You seriously can't win with some people I've learned since if it's a name like Cloud or Squall it gets made fun of for being ridiculous but when it's an ACTUAL NAME it also gets weird comments for...not...being Cloud or Squall? LMAO
I am genuinely baffled as a British person, I'm pretty sure I could check classified ads and find at least 10 Clives working as plumbers, which is why it being picked as a name in a fantastical RPG is kinda funny
Also Clive Barker the Hellraiser director
Apparently the all-American Garfield even had an invisible friend called Clive
It's funny seeing people use Cloud and Squall and Lightning as examples of more fantastical names but completely ignore names like Cecil and Tina which are also super normal names like Clive.
That's the first person I thought of when I heard the name. Not sure why people think it's so weird.
... Zidane is a real name. Lighting is a nickname, her real name is Claire.
Where/when did this first appear?
Well, there it is. So that really was FFXVI artwork after all! I was kinda 50/50 on that for the longest time.
Graphics that were from an early build and not representative of the final game? sure.
I really like those city pictures. It captures that fantasy imagination really well. I just hope it translates well to the game because the trailer kinda made a lot of what was shown kinda gray and bland.
Lol.
Clive is a real name, many people are called Clive.
Clive - Baby Name Meaning, Origin, and Popularity
Clive is a boy's name of English origin meaning "lives near a high cliff". Clive is the 993 ranked male name by popularity.
The characters in game looking nothing like their art.
I hope the same isn't true of the cities because that city art is gorgeous.
and lmao @ Clive. The only Clive I know is my friend's gammon as fuck hilarious dad.

FUCK YES LET'S GOOOOOO.
This feels like a real FF! The art is incredible. The story has character driven drama, and for the first time in a long time, very little complicated lore. I swear the last decade has been "the fal'cie" and FFXV required I watch an anime series and a full length movie to even understand the first act of the game.
I got a good feeling about this one. Let's Go FFXVI!

Can't help but feel like Rosfield sounds a lot like roast beef. Like, it's a struggle. Haven't gotten it out of my head all day.
Character should've been called Night Edgeblade.
Night because it sounds like knight and he's a knight sort of and Edgeblade to show how edgy he is (like a blade) and he uses a sword.
Jill should've been Lady McPrecious because she is a lady and is precious and shouldn't get hurt and should probably stay away from the main character the whole game and everything we know about her should be told to us by other characters and we just have to BELIEVE in their love.
Joshua should've been like, Mogfry or Popin or Lalalittle or something, to show the childlike glee he holds and how he's a child and young and a child.
Get good with character names SE! Hire Meeeee!!! 20 more years of characters named after things!

It says so much that the game feels like it has so much more restraint when it comes to character designs when it has a character that looks like this:
Really can't be understated how much of an improvement this game's cast is over XV's when it comes to character designs. Also thank god they've gone with some other than the cringeworthy motivation of names like Noctis Lucis Caelum

Lol I was joking. I know Clive is a real name. It likely sounds closer to Cleave in Japanese though considering their "i" sounds which is the joke.
Ahh
Got no problems or anything with the names either
was just curious
...? Most people in the thread are complaining/pointing out that it's kind of a very normal name considering the kinds of names they usually go for.
English isn't my first language, but it doesn't sound like roast beef.
I think it is because the name is so normal and I associate it to regular guys. FF has conditioned me to expect strange names for the lead protagonist, I suppose
Claire is a really pretty name, though. It's a common name, but it always sounds classy
Strangely enough I'm fine with Clyde, and even Joshua and Jill. It's really just Clive throwing me off.
I can't help but think that the tag line "the legacy of the crystals has shaped our history for long enough" is a direct reference to Fabula Nova Crystallis.
I mean, thats not what he said. The game will have top end graphics at launch, but they wont sell you the game based entirely on CG gameplay videos that are nigh impossible to live up to.

Would be cool if this was the box art (from the PS Blog):
If this isn't the official box art, hopefully someone can make it a custom box art, like the ones we had in the giant thread of custom minimalist box arts that we had on the old site.
