Who Is Lord Margrave In FF16?
However, as the plot progresses, Clive makes some assumptions. Firstly, he thinks that Lord Margrave is the one whom he met at the Phoenix Gate. Secondly, Clive believes that his brother Joshua was killed by Lord Margrave in FF16.
What Happens To Joshua?
Joshua wants to know two things. He needs to know the mystery behind his brother Clive’s ability to absorb Eikonic powers from others and to know what is causing the blight to occur. While Joshua is on his own journey, he decides to keep his profile low. And so, he wears the same hoodie that players find Lord Margrave to be wearing in Final Fantasy 16.
So, as Joshua is in search of his answers, Clive needs to know who the mysterious hooded man is. With time, Clive gets a fruitful result. He gets to confront Lord Margrave while pursuing him. However, Lord Margrave forcefully confronts that he is the Dominant of Ifrit.
As he confronts, the doubt that Clive has about his brother turns into belief, and it is just heartbreak. However, Clive soon discovers that in the Holy Kingdom of Sanbreque, Joshua survived the assault on Drake’s Head. So, as you progress through the plot, halfway down, you will find out that Lord Margrave reveals himself to be Joshua.
It all happens when Clive is in dire need during a fight with Typhon. During the fight, Ultima tries merging itself with Clive, and Clive seems to give in. However, just in time, Lord Margrave manages to trap Ultima inside a cage made of Phoenix’s flames. To make sure it does not escape, he seals it using his own heart.
With that, Lord Margrave decides to disappear once again, although he does play a major role, especially in Valisthea. Due to this, Clive finally changes his viewpoint about Lord Margrave being all villainy. Clive realizes that Margrave is not the bad guy; rather, he is simply doing what Clive is striving for.
Qualities Of Lord Margrave
