If you’ve paid any kind of focus in all to Final Fantasy XVI, you likely currently recognize just how action-forward this game is. It’s quickly the farthest a mainline Final Fantasy game has actually ever before been from its standard turn-based origins, with FFXVI being quickly one of the most action-heavy yet. That’s not shocking, however, taking into consideration the game’s fight supervisor is Ryota Suzuki, a previous Capcom designer with virtually twenty years of experience creating the activity in games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Devil May Cry 4, and also most just recently, Devil May Cry 5.
With such an individual link to Devil May Cry, I couldn’t stand up to asking: Who would certainly win in a one-on-one battle: FFXVI lead character Clive or Devil May Cry 5 lead Dante? Suzuki needed to address this concern with 2 of his managers right next to him – FFXVI supervisor Hiroshi Takai and also manufacturer Naoki Yoshida – so maybe we need to take this solution with a grain of salt. But I don’t recognize, having actually played both Devil May Cry 5 and also 2 hrs of FFXVI throughout a current hands-on sneak peek (read about that here), I’m inclined to think him.
His solution, with a scheming smile and also a laugh: Clive.
Suzuki states Clive’s Eikonic capacities, which permit him to use the power of Eikons like Phoenix and also Titan, provide him the supreme side. And simply for enjoyable, I asked that would certainly win in a battle in between Clive and also Nero.
“Clive.”
There you have it, really particular followers of both Final Fantasy and also Devil May Cry 5 like me; Clive wins.
