FFXVI's fight against Bahamut is one of the top gaming moments of the last decade and i'm so fucking serious.
Within its own canon, it's in the top 3 of Final Fantasy fights and it's not the 2 or the 3. For all time.
Clive and Joshua finally seeing each other after 18 years but with Clive using Ifrit's destructive power that almost killed his brother to shield him from harm is pure, unfiltered cinema. We'll never get anything like this again
