Clive Rosfield is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XVI. He is the Archduke of Rosaria's eldest son, Joshua's brother, and the Dominant of the dark Eikon, Ifrit. Clive makes his fighting game debut as a guest character in TEKKEN 8.

Despite being the firstborn, Clive did not inherit the power of the Fire Eikon Phoenix from his father; the role of its Dominant passed on to the younger Joshua instead. To find a purpose for himself, Clive became the First Shield of Rosaria, tasked with protecting Joshua and blessed by the Phoenix, allowing Clive to use part of its flames. Tragic events involving the dark Eikon, Ifrit, led to Clive embarking on a quest for revenge.

Yeah... yeah... we all know, it should have been Tifa. Maybe so. As a Tekken player of 30+ years, however, I've learned to expect the unexpected and enjoy sword-users and other unorthodox character designs in Tekken games. I've actually had many hours of fun learning and fighting against guest characters Tekken 7 (and now Tekken 8). Similarly to Noctis, Clive brings the Final Fantasy fan service to Tekken once again, and I'm here for it. On a personal note, I created a popular YouTube video with Final Fantasy customizations and references over a decade before Noctis arrived in Tekken. And now, we're here. So it seems like every Tekken game will have a Final Fantasy character from now on! lol. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love collaborations like this. My 90s self would've never believed crossovers like this would happen. My best advice, learn how to fight against Clive and study those punishes! You'll thank me later.
