Final Fantasy XVI's Clive Rosfield Joins Tekken 8 as a Guest Fighter
Clive will be available on December 16 for season pass holders, featuring his Eikon abilities and a new Final Fantasy-themed stage.
- Clive Rosfield, the protagonist of Final Fantasy XVI, is the final character in Tekken 8's Year 1 DLC pass and will be playable starting December 16 for season pass holders, with general availability on December 19.
- The character's moveset incorporates his Eikon-based abilities, including fire and ice attacks, and features his companion Torgal assisting in some moves.
- Clive's addition comes with a new battle stage, Phoenix Gate, complete with Ifrit and Phoenix battling in the background and the Final Fantasy XVI track 'Find the Flame' as its theme.
- While Clive's inclusion has excited many fans, others expressed disappointment, as there had been significant demand for Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Lockhart to join the roster instead.
- This marks the second Final Fantasy character crossover in the Tekken series, following Noctis from Final Fantasy XV in Tekken 7, continuing a collaboration trend between Square Enix and Bandai Namco.
