Love how Afro talks about Omega, not knowing what’ll happen later on…

Being an Afro and FF XVI fan be like:

✋😔👍 🔫🤬

Btw if you do certain missions you can get your own chocobo, do tte blacksmith missions for better swords too

They pulled a kingdom hearts 😂😂

The mark is just a tattoo, the curse is the price you pay for using magic, the more you use it the more your body turns to stone

This series has been great. I’m here for it

It’s the trauma of being mass murderers and surviving after losing everything that brings them together romantically. Had they not have gone through hell and then found eachother again they would be more familia bonds but the trauma connects them on a much deeper level.

Got two thumbs but YouTube only lets me like this video once. Loving this series bro 👍👍

Afro you ready for Elden ring dlc

She not his SISTER

With this Jill shit it’s giving Game of Thrones XVI 😂🤣😭

*maniacal laughter* 14k in 11 hours

Love this series

Afro just fyi, with Gauge, you can keep tapping attack for a longer duration

The curse only effects those use can use magic. And if you can use magic your considered Branded. Branded are basically each nation’s magic weapon.

They were childhood friends and haven’t seen eachother in like a decade or more. She bad now and she is cool I don’t blame him

Cid goes the extra mile for clive because he’s just that kind of guy. He saved benedikta from her situation, and he’s trying to give a safe place to bearers and dominants. He’s just a GOAT in this game

Yo afro quick light tip if you didn’t know you can press start and touch pad to look at “active time lore” to have a better understanding of whats going on

You never finished Skyrim because of spiders well id love to see a playthrough now

Keep tapping the button on gouge makes it last longer

This shit is so fire u better be finishing this afro or I’ll never forgive u 🙏🙏

Afro get yo cheeks back on rise of the ronin for I crash out

bearers=slaves, i think adding black characters woulda been a bit controversial

Afro if u didnt know u can use “Fire” in between every sword attack for more damage

Im just listening to afro talk abt her being your sister nd rolling cuz i KNOW what happens later nd if he dont shake the idea that they’re related he gon hate ts😂😂😂

Afro just leave the one piece to be Continued shit

As someone how had a crush on two childhood friends I grow up with, it’s not weird.

Afro press the touch pad during cutscenes to get lore about specific things

13k likes baby

Little bro Joshua giving Clive ptsd flashbacks 😂🥲

Who gone tell Afro that Clive and Jill ain’t siblings?

So since you asked no the mark isnt the one turning them to stone.
Its just the use of aether. Bearers are people capable if using magic, but that use takes a price, same for dominants when they turn into the eikons.

The mark is just to mark them and show what they are.

Btw jill is a childhood friend, not clives sister

We ain’t letting you leave

bro have to use active time lore function at some point

Where da next part (I haven’t even finished the intro to this video)

9hrs 13k better get the video rdy 🔫

Afro, the crystal curse is merely from being able to use magic/aether.

54k in 9hrs..you underestimate us..😂

Jill isn’t Clive’s sister bro 😂

Out of all the millions of players out there, one of them actually thought of Jill and Clive as siblings and still shipped them. That, makes it strange.😂

32:34 Mahoraga

Afro how is it any different to an anime childhood friend as a love interest.
As you said Mikasa is a great example.

DO YOU NOT APPROVE ?!

12:01 Lady basically said “What’s 9 more months? I’ll start again, make another kid” 😭😭😭

Is afro an only child? Hes way too hung up on the childhood friend thing.

If you hit magic shot button (I think triangle) right after you hit the enemy, you do a cool burst that does extra damage and keeps the combo going. You’ll see your damage almost double 👌👌

😂I got the go ahead 😂

DLC coming out soon. Plan on getting that too

We gonna keep arguing for likes bc we know we gonna reach it for peak

Afro trigger happy to pull out the 9

Okay, I still think FFXV was one of the best games for FF series…provided it was my entry point into the series but still. With how fluid the combat was to how each of the characters were made. I loved every part of it.

Afro aint getting no sleep, 12k like in 8 hrs, nah he’s cooked

at least Clive parent are cousin, so that close to incest.
i wish if they made Clive and Jill brother-sister and lovers that would have made people go crazy and cancel FF16….
i like drama about how people get angry at a fictional story in a video game.
there are incest ???, RELAX IT’S NOT REAL.

Marquess is a nobility title, its not actually his surname. Hes called such because he is the son of the archduke, but is not the primary heir to the throne

this dude Afro said childhood friends can’t date, this dude stupid

“15k in 24hrs”☝️🤓 yea ight brodie watch

Where tf did he get the buster sword?

I really really cant wait for afro to get the the big moments bruh thats gonna be insane

Bro I didn’t like dis game at first and then it took me till I got to titan (part of the fight is now my background on my profile) which I found this to be my 10 best single player games of probably all time to me (cutscenes are longer then gameplay that’s the only downside but I got used to it after a while🤷‍♂️)

Afro you NEED to you the Active time lore feature it will help you tredemously to understand the story

W content fam

Ummmm excuse me the FUCKING BUSTER SWORD?????

What in the kingdom hearts is the best one liner in the entire video 🤣 I felt that. And it’s true 🤣

Yo bro just to let you know that Clive and Jill aren’t siblings they’re childhood friends

🔥

Next episode is gonna go crazy.

Surviving Afro😂😂😂😂😂 the most abusive YouTuber ever

speaking of spider, that one Nioh level made my skin crawl…

Has he learned how to upgrade and learn new skills yet?

I dont understand what the problem is with Clive and Jill falling in love. They are not related in any means and if u grow up with her, of course ur more likely to fall in love with her because ur fond of her. Who else ishould he be falling in love with? Cid?

HELL YEAH KING

I’m 100% sure afro knows most of this games story. Since the start.

afro dirty for throwing in that FMAB music man, i actually started to tear up….
and are we just gonna ignore the god damn buster sword he’s swinging around wtf was that?!
overall amazing video, amazing video, I’m locked the fuck in for the next part!

Got pulled over for racing wish me luck guys

can’t believe bro might actually finish this game

man read the active time lore☠️

Afro plz there was no need for violence😂😂

Some combat tips – watch some of the guys that play this professionally. It makes this game SO much more fun when you go full DMC on enemies.

Man I cant wait to see his reaction to the press L3+R3 to accept. One of the coolest fights in the game imo

23:27 this theme bro 😭😭😭😭

Can we see ff7 remake and rebirth please

Does afro not understand the concept of liking a non-reletive someone u grew up with?

Likes kinda lackin this time, but 5k in 18 hours is light

Afro use the active time lore Brodie

Hey Afro if you don’t understand what’s going on or who’s who, if you press the touchpad when paused it’ll give you a bio of who’s in the scene currently.

bro gave us a filler episode

The way Branded are treated in 16 reminded me of the ”Branded” from Fire Emblem.

Tl:dr they’re both human and laguz (beast tribe), but both sides treat them like garbage.

Cid doesn’t have the curse but another sickness thats bad from overusing his power in old age because the curse isnt on dominants let me explain the birth categories
Normal: no magic
Branded: magic comes from aether that from going through there body turns them into stone
Domaint: power comes from an eikon inhabiting them
They didn’t know clive was a domaint so they assumed him to be a branded when he isnt he’ll be fine, use the middle button on your controller to check current things in the story being talked about or in frame

We want FF16 video a day

Regarding the curse, its not related to the brand or the blight, the brand is just to distinguish bearers and the blight is just areas where the aether in the air has been entirely used up

AfroSenju, there is omega in final fantasy 16 but is extremely hard boss, if you face omage.

Wait a min does he have a buster sword on his back ? 😂😂 big 7 vibes I love it.

Bro the viewers being held at gunpoint bit is actually hilarious😂

With all the anime i assume you watch im surprised u find the childhood friends to lovers thing weird

bro the skit in the beginning had me dying. 🤣😂

oh you’ll see why theres no black people 😂😂

Afro you should try the others skills you got (optional and you can reset the points to if you wanna save up for something better)

Just wait Afro, every cinematic fight tops the last

It only gets crazier

Hold down the middle button or bar on your controller to see lore in real time any characters events or places in frame or being talked about will pop up with information on it

I’m sure other people have said this, but Jill is a ward. Remember how the game mentioned that Elwin united Rosaria? Jill is the daughter of one of the lords Elwin subdued. Basically taken as a hostage to keep them in line. Clive was not raised with Jill, he maybe knew her for 3 years before Phoenix Gate. A lot closer to childhood friend than sister.

The curse doesnt come from the mark it just happens to anyone who over uses their magic ability. The mark just means youre a slave pretty much. The bearers are forced to use their magic 24/7 so they usually die from the curse.

It Xemnas

Using Aether causes the curse

Jill is not Clive and Joshua’s sister and they were not raised together from the jump like you said, Clive was like 10 years old when Jill arrived to the castle as a political hostage, it’s just that Clive’s father was a decent man and didn’t want Jill to feel like an actual hostage so he allowed her to interact with her sons but they know she’s not part of the family.
If anything it’s more likely that Clive’s father probably planned to marry Jill to Joshua or Clive in the future to unite both realms.

And yes I know there are a lot of comments about this already but just to make it as clear as possible 😂

Afro : this is my sister right?

im dead x’D

4:58 He looks like Thorfinn

Need dat dragon age and Skyrim gameplay

Someone should teach bro how to use the active lore

In this world for most people that use magic they must use a magic stone as a conduit. Bearers instead use themselves as a conduit.

RDC is purple rank in Tekken. Keep grinding off stream. Like this so Afro know!

👍👍👍

I don’t agree with the FFXV take. It wasn’t bloated, actually, the story was very simple. Prince slowly loses it all and he has to regain that which belonged to him, and the actual story is the journey that leads you there.

It’s just beautiful, pure cinema. Literally made me rethink life & appreciate every single blessing that we have. Of course i had to consume the anime, the movie, etc. Right after and honestly, once you finish the game, you’re grateful that all of it exists. Prompto my boy 😭

Sis is crazy

Crisis core soundtrack in the background while Clive and Jill talking hits different. Amazing💯🤌🏾🔥🥹

Its just the magic in this world The human body can only take so much use of aether. But dominants have a much larger capacity before it really effects them.

10k likes in 4hours afro 😢did you fall off?😮

25:37 Lol, chill bro. They weren’t raised as siblings. They were childhood friends from the jump.

my man has not looked at active time lore ONCE

Hey Afro just wanted to give a a tip or two to make the game combo’s if you don’t want to see them then don’t scroll:

1.)Alright firstly I would get heatwave for the Phoenix’s abilities because you can use it as a counter to projectiles
2: Oh and if you hold charge shot and blade together then first release charged blade, then charge shot you can shoot them into the air and pheonix rush to combo them in the air
3. Oh you can dmc jump off enemies with a skill
4: And you can rapidly tap the claws of Garuda to external the skill

Just wanted to help you out a bit but if you wanna ignore me that’s fine. Can’t wait to see you face the latter bosses of this game they are literally peak cinema

I was hoping everyone wanted to see more of this game 🙏

Man thanks for another video!
I know many have already commented on this but just to reiterate, Jill is not Clive’s sister, she’s a princess from another nation that lost a war to Clive’s country and was taken to assure peace.

Even though they grew up in the castle together they never saw each other as siblings, in the prologue even the servants in the castle assumed they would get married, two ladies preparing dinner comment that “they make a handsome pair” and “they’ll have their feast soon enough” so yeah Jill is the romantic interest from the beginning.

That ending 😂

I can’t wait for Afro to realize Jill and Clive aren’t siblings. 😅

does bro even know that he can touch pad for more info?

Afro bro your questions can be answered in real time lore

“If that’s not Joshua, then I’m black. And I’m black as F-CK” 😂😂😂

We want u to the see the conclusion Afro come on y’all let’s do every video like this😂💯love the intro

The mark is just a sign of being a slave in this world, the turning to stone thing just happens when you use magic for too long. Cause magic is like foreign and comes from a different world

I feel you about final fantasy 15 I actually went back years later to play the royal edition and that version actually slaps. It feels more complete

To answer your question bout Clive’s powers, Clive has the blessing of the Phoenix. Eikon’ can bestow power, a blessing, to a familiar, Clive in this case. They all equally confused bout how Clive is plundering and they know doesn’t know either so they just don’t question it.

When is bro gonna learn they’re friends who eventually smash not siblings XD

Nah afro ur staying locked in and consistent on this one brother 💀

The added music is much better

the cory vibes i got from this, we need more

Lock in

Afro we need to add the Jump button in your combos. Gets that beautiful air combat 😤😤

Bro still don’t know the basics of fighting in this game 😂🤣 hopefully soon he’ll look at the combat reel and string moves together that makes sense

Hey afro
make sure to do the side missions the rewards are worth it

Gotta get this next part, like it up

Bro I’m a bit further into the story, this game is gas 🗣️🔥

Afro you should visit the skill tree in the pause menu, to get more moves if you haven’t already.

So uh… yeah Jill and Clive are not siblings my dude… lol

Please dear god use the active time lore (Press the touchpad when paused in cutscenes)

DAMN THE BUSTER SWORD IS IN THE GAME NOW?

CC theme hits every time

My niggas lock in get to the like goal fast

Fr jill was down bad for Clive the whole game

anyone who uses the power of a dominant will start to petrify, bearers are people with the capacity to use dominant abilities (magic) and are mostly enslaved for the use of their abilities.

If u gon be an asshole abt it ill dislike ya shit💯❤

Is you allergic to money big man why you putting videos is hostage😂

Bro how is it weird lmao
Just cause you grew up with someone dont mean they your sibling, they can romance its fine💀💀 Have you never heard of childhood freinds?

Hold middle button for lore!

Dawg have you never heard of childhood friends

Afro, to add to another of your questions (which some can be answered by pressing the touch pad when pausing during cutscenes) the Brand on bearers is literally that: a brand of slavery.

Essentially it is a tattoo that marks a bearer as a slave that also contains a poison just in case they try to get rid of it with out extreme caution or a very specific procedure.

No it’s more like they are bearers of the mark because they have the gift of magic the mark just signify they can use the magic and each time they do it drives them more and more to stone

I can’t wait for him to see THAT boss fight 😎 you know the one

You got the plot point of the petrification mostly right the first time. People that can use magic and over use it will eventually turn to stone. People who use magic are also looked down upon and marked on their faces as slaves, but is not the source of the curse. This curse extends to dominants as well as you can see with Cid.

We need to get him to titan at least 🫵

Bro they aint related its fine for them to romance lmao

JILL ISN’T CLIVE’S SISTER

Dawg’s gonna be mad weirded out if he doesn’t pick up on it

Edit: The mark on Clive and other bearers is just something to signify to others that said people are bearers. But bearers suffer from the sickness. Bearers are basically just people who are able to use aether.

Bro clive was like 10 when he meet jill they were never realy like brother and sister just friends

KEEP GOING KING!!!!!!!

Jill is not your sister she’s the baddie of all baddies

Bearers are the people that are able to use magic, if they use too much they petrified and die

My understanding of the society is that bearers are considered slaves, used for their magic abilities. And therefore, they’re not even seen as human, similar to slavery in pre-abolishment America- which is why the mom got rid of her newborn child. They’re marked with the tattoo as a mark of slavery, and as they use magic – which they’re forced to do as slaves- their body gets weaker and succumbs to sickness. I think the dominants have similar weakness but they have a higher threshold, so they can last longer before they succumb. That’s why we see dominants be weak/fatigued after transforming – like the first time we saw adult Jill, or how we see Cid cough up blood consistently when using his power

2 episodes in 1 week. My nigga out here making sure we all eat good.

You can hit the touchscreen button on the PS5 when you pause to get ANY lore. Characters places things everything.

A few more clarifications for the chorus, in case they matter

> Jill wasn’t raised with Clive his whole childhood, she was basically taken from her original house in the aftermath of a war the Rosfields fought as a ward of the state to help ensure lasting peacetime. So she’d have been a newer introduction to that dynamic. Kind of like having a childhood friend because your and theirs parents are friends? It’s still slightly borked for them to catch feelings but to their credit, it’s an extremely slow burn and also far from the most messed up ick thing in this setting (example: Clive and Joshua are both incest babies, what with Annabella marrying her cousin to “preserve the Phoenix Bloodline”.)

> In FF16’s setting, the petrification is a natural result of just using magic in general, as you seem to had figured out later on. The Brands they slap on Bearers’ faces has nothing to do with inducing petrification- it’s just there because the prevailing religion in this world at present time holds that the crystals are sacred and the intended vessels for magic to pass through, and human vessels for magic are unholy and inherently a curse upon the world in some way. (Hence, they were disliked even in Clive’s father’s reign even if they weren’t actively discriminated against.)

> I suppose I’m not completely sure how it works but, it’s my understanding that the Dominants have- or at the very least, Phoenix had- the ability to “share” its power somewhat. Hence, Murdoch saying that Clive was wielding “the phoenix’s” flames in that very first spar in the tutorial. Or maybe that was just flowery language and Bearers in general can use their magic to throw elemental blasts and such, idk. Basic point is that, that’s why no one made a big deal of his “stealing” powers until the fight with Benedikta because that _was_ the first time he stole anything

Jill, and Clive not sisters bru

Bearers are people that are able to use magic and when they do that too much they petrify. Dominants are a little different but they still die if they use their power too much

So the thing with Jill and Clive is they weren’t raised from the jump. After Clive’s kingdom defeated the kingdom Jill is originally from, she was essentially adopted by Clive’s family to prevent Jill’s kingdoms from waging a war against them. Think of it more as childhood friends than siblings

For the love God Afro Jil is not your sister

If you’re ever unsure about a cutscene/lore, you can always pause and check the active time lore. It’s extremely helpful in understanding/remembering the lore of the game by providing brief explanations of characters, landmarks, world events, and terms

Use you’re active time lore dude

Jill is not Clive’s sister she is just adopted into the family

Yoo you almost at 2M

I hate when Afro is slow like this. Clive and Jill have always liked each other in a romantic sense ever since they were little. Also, the blight has nothing to do with being branded. They explain why ppl have branded marks on their faces, it’s basically to show that they are pretty much slaves owned by someone. But regardless of who you are, dominant or not, the more you channel and use aether (magic) the more the blight spreads. So EVERYONE who can use magic will eventually succumb to turning completely stone.

i never like videos but i need this to continue

how u get Clouds sword?

Afro, please you gotta include the DLC in the playthrough

afro you gotta upgrade your abilities in the pause menu, makes combat more varied and fun – also mix triangle in after square to churn out magic blasts in your combos

The curse isn’t caused by the bearer mark. The mark just is a way of identifying the bearers. The curse will petrify dominants and bearers but bearers are more likely to fall to it because they have less ether in their bodies

What’s that one ninja gaiden game where you fight a giant spider? 😂

Edit: that spider actually creeped me out too lol

Seeing Afro play this reminds me I haven’t beaten this game despite being decently far into it. I recommend Afro buy the skills Heatwave, Charged Magic, Burning Blade, Down Thrust, Flames of Rebirth, and Aerial Blast. Rising Flames into Wicked Wheel into Down Thrust is theoretically a combo. Will o Wikes pairs with Ignition as the damage stacks. If you want UNGA BUNGA damage though buy Flames of Rebirth, and Aerial Blast pick whatever skills are your favorite from each Eikon respectively and use those skills then use Aerial Blast, and Flames of Rebirth it’s an easy way to get large amounts of damage on staggered enemies. BTW mastering a skill makes it so that you can equip it to another Eikon’s skill slot. For example if you mastered Rising Flame instead of only being able to choose from Gouge, Wicked Wheel, Rook’s Gambit, and Aerial Blast you’d have access to it in addition to the aforementioned skills. Please like this comment so Afro sees it.

I was going to suggest if you did not know, if you don’t remember anyone, place, or thing, you can hold the TouchPad, and it will give you and relevant information to the story during any cutscene or after it will pause the game of course and is helpful at times. At least for me it was 😊

Afro, if you’re confused, you can always look at the active time lore, you know. I mean, sure, you’re dyslexic but it won’t hurt to read a bit.

Next episode is gonna be BRAZY🔥

Pro tip whenever you pause a cutscene you can press TouchPad and get a little more lore on what they’re talking about

Afro is the only guy I’ve seen who thought Jill was Clive’s sister Lmfao 🤣. It’s okay bro she’s not, she was taken as a ward because Clive’s dad went to war with the north and won, so they took her and brought her back to live with them, in hopes that one day she would be used to like Marry some other lord or something for political reasons. Obviously Clive and Joshua didn’t want that they all grew up together as friends but they have been crushing on eachother for a long time lol 😂, not related, perfectly fine romance

Basically all those who can use magic can be petrified if they use too much magic

Oh god he shot Timmy!!! Why you going off on us in the intro lol. Btw, I’m still watching the vid but try to use the active lore button when you have questions about current characters on screen. Unless you solely want to piece stuff through with the dialogue alone

Is anyone gonna tell Afro about the active lore feature? i feel like alot of his questions would be answered by it.

side note for side quests, if you ever see a side quest with a ‘+’ symbol, DO IT. Those are special side quests that give special benefits like increasing potion capacity and even special features which I won’t spoil rn. They are super helpful so don’t miss them.

Afro just a quick tip, when you fully stagger a boss use the garuda abilities first to build the stagger damage multiplier higher then use your phoenix abilities (or harder hitting ones later). The garuda ones build the stagger multiplier faster with their repeated hits which increases the damage you get from other harder hitting abilities like Rising Flames.

Yo Afro, 4 videos in and not seen that sword charge once, it helps immensely at the end of combos and taking chunks out of stagger gauge

You shot me in my….

Next episode solidified this game to be one of my favorite games of all time frfr. HYPE

game is so trash where is rebirth 1000x better

How the heck you get Buster Sword though?

Clive and Jill are not related!

Him talking about them being siblings is gon bother me the same way it’s gon bother him.

Look bro. They just grew up together. They are 2 seperate people, they just knew each other from youth. Let em be bro.

Try building your stagger % up for higher damage multiplier before using Phoenix abilities for bigger damage numbers

9:09 …a…bout that.

Extorting likes at gunpoint is crazy

Afro try not to say x game is easy every video challenge *IMPOSSIBLE*

YEAAAAA BOIIIIII PART 4 IS HEEEEERE

Hey Afro did you watch the ff14 benchmark? It just came out a bit ago, shows some of the new moves

it’s almost halfway there in two hours once again brother, boot up the P5 😤

Hopefully by the next video, Afro finally learns that Jill is not Clive’s fucking sister.

Also, it’s not weird if Clive and Jill get in a relationship. That’s like saying you shouldn’t be in one with the girl next door that you’ve been friends with since you were little kids. I will not tolerate Jill hate in this playthrough.

9:21 buddy just gone equip the buster sword and skip over that like it’s nothing

ayo ❤️‍🔥

PEAK STORYTELLING🔥🔥🔥🔥

Afro, who ever is born able to use magic gets labeled as a bearer and if caught they are “branded” with the mark. Only bearers can use magic and if any bearer uses magic too much the aether transforms their body to stone.

Afro if you read the Active Time Lore you wouldnt be lost. But knowing you, you’d rather be lost than read it.

the mark isnt what makes a person a bearer its their ability to manipulate aether and use majicks. im not sure if the dominants carry that trait tho tbh

How is there 17 final fantasy games?

Best playthough on YouTube! Cut the unnecessary parts, people can play themselves to see everything 😛

Smashing it up to 15k likes is easy

they’re not siblings bruv

I think Ben Starr is going to continue to impress you with his voice acting.

Afro don’t forget you can learn new skills in the menu to get new standard attacks and Eikon abilities.

Best playthrough since elden ring

Ngl, alot of the questions you have would be answered if you just opened the “active time lore”

Bro the intro got me dying😭😭😭

The phase spiders in BG3

We at 6k in 2 hours we gettin that 15 k

Omega is dlc

AFROOOO

Hold the middle button during cutscenes and youll be able to get info about whats going on

Don’t spoil yourself reading comments brother. Every question you have can be answered by old man Times. Trip out on it on your down time after each sesh.

And if you have any immediate questions like “Who tf this random person who just showed up but I’m familiar with?” Hold down the touchpad to activate “Active Time Lore”. Seriously trip out, it’s a goated game mechanic.

Clive was given the power of the Phoenix by joshua it’s explained during the tutorial, dominants can grant power to other people

Bro i promise i watched the first 30 secs of the vid like 5 times 🤣🤣

Jill isn’t actually his sister Jill was taken in bout when she was 7 or 8 as well low key a hostage as she was a princess of the northern territories which clives dad conquered them he had taken her to put a stop further rebellions but clives dad decided for her to chill with his kids so he personally took her in.

Spoiler alert

I hate the ending of this game

Nah adding Crisis Core music at 7:00 was fire can’t lie fits too well

Afro the mark has nothing to do with it. The mark is a brand. Like what farmers do to livestock. They are slaves. Regular bearers are forced to use their magic like tools till they turn to stone. Dominants have a much bigger supply of power and are more durable

Afro click the active time lore when you pause, its a quick reminder for things you might forget!

Clive might not be affected by the curse because he is also a dominant and has not needed to use his gift yet.

I feel that, I have arachnophobia too and just started getting past it in games but it’s mad hard. Getting through star wars jedi fallen order, hogwarts legacy and elden ring was more of a climb than it should’ve been fr.

Shit I was hoping this video had the next part in it. Damn it afro

Run up them likes boys

PSA: when you pause a cutscene, there is a thing called active time lore, if you read it, It will show that they are indeed NOT SIBLINGS BUT CHILDHOOD FRIENDS.

Jill and Clive are not siblings! Jill was taken from the northern lands as a political hostage when Rosaria conquered them back when they were kids. Jill and Clive are basically childhood friends.
The Blight and Bearers petrifying (the curse) are sort of the same. It’s explained further later, but the Blight is basically the land being stripped of its ether when people use magic. The Bearers can use magic without crystals, but this takes a toll on their bodies, resulting in the petrification/curse. Dominants are much more resistant to the curse but it can still catch up to them as they age or if they over-exert themselves too often!!

Bruh, these “hostage” skits are funny AF 😂

Water and electricity mix very well, electricity water and life doesn’t mix well though.

Bearers get marked so people know they’re second class citizens, every time they use magic since only bearers can it strains their bodies until they end up completely petrifying but they don’t petrify because of the mark that’s just a sigil to let people know “hey these are bearers that can use magic”

nahhh that intro is insane lmaooooo

Jill is a WARD of the Rosefield family. Yall, Stop acting like she was adopted. She was a traded political hostage, thats it. I think she was tasked eith being an aid for the sick joshua. Who was ALREADY turning to stone as a child from being used for war. Thats why he is sick as child. And is even more greatly diminished after a certain part in the story. Healthy Phoenix would solo Ultima.

Clive is not the only one who coukd have a small portion of the phoenix powers, the ohoenix can actually just gift someone a fraction of its powers (thats what the title of “shield of rosaria” is typically refering to, knights whod been gifted with the power of the phoenix)

f*ckin Bruno man I’m dying

It’s crazy how Afro kept thinking it was his sister, now the whole thing is gonna be weird for you cus you think that way o7

Afro is bugging about the Jill and Clive thing. Like bro ITS ALREADY BEEN EXPLAINED!!!!

Whassup Unc

LET’S GOOOOOOOO

ff7 remake?

That mom be omni man for real she just didn’t wait 18 years 12:07

liking this video before i watch cuz i know its gonna be a banger

Ok the whole childhood friends being dated is not weird and gross

Doing that with your cousin is gross

So nobody got a problem when mikasa and Eren dating or being any kind of couple growing up together

Bur clive and jill is weird and gross, this is just uncultured Shame bro its not wrong or weird

Look its straight, and no one is related in any way unless hanging out with your homies and not dating them is considered a gay relationship and ALL OF YOU said no and have done nothing to admit to so

Jil is not his sister Afro 😅

afro, please check the active time lore in the game. you can access it by pausing the game and pressing the touch pad — itll tell you all the important details up to the point of where youre at in the game

Active Time Lore in the pause menu will answer ALL of your questions bro!

at this rate we gonna keep him playing ff16 and he’ll have no time to prep for the rdc rematch

Afro would have less questions if he just use the active time lore built in lol

Active time lore is a giant giant help, and basically needed to understand this massive game and what’s what during every cutscene. When you pause on a cutscene hit the trackpad and it’ll pop up, seriously super useful!

Afro you can keep pressing Garuda claw check some of the abilities some u can hold and some u can mash to increase their attack potency

I still think it was a mistake that Clive’s voice actor didn’t win best performance at the VGA’s. The only reason Astarion won was because he’s the sassy vampire sexyman character in a popular game.

Afro, what are you doing Afrooooo! RDC coming for your head!!!!

Afro press the middle playstation button during any cutscene, there’s an entire lore encyclopedia in the game menu that can explain bearers and other questions to you.

1 hour gang

10 min in and im just now noticing the buster sword😭😭

So basically to simplify it further a bearer is a human who can use Magic without using the crystals, and so the people viewd it as being tainted by the devil and they were put into slavery and when they use their abilities it can be viewed similar to Chakra, and to answer your other question if Clive will circum to the same fate, (SPOILERS YOU Have BEEN WARNED)

Yes Clive could yes but since he’s a dominant the same as Jill and Cid it takes longer to affect them and unlike humans and bearers they can be exposed to mountain sizes of Aether and not be harmed.

1:12 My EXACT same reaction 😂

Afro: “I got the gun! DO YOU FORGET YOUR FUCKIN PLACE?!”

You ran away from Bloodborne shut up. Fake “Elden Ring Pro”🫵🏼👁👁🤳🏼

Bruh! Afro manifest a big freaking spider in my room 😭😂💀 send help

You can read the Codex entries at the hideout for more Lore and Character backstory without spoilers. At least read the dominants.

Bruh why havnt we hit it yet? START LIKING THE VID YOU WEIRDOS

DID THIS NGA JUST SHOOT ME???!!!!!!!

Farm chocobo to upgrade everything

i think you got Clive & Jills old relationship wrong in your head lol

have you played ff7 remake and rebirth? if no, i would be all in a for a series

30:36 This man talking like he never looked at the skill tree…

Afro: “I have powers from Pheonix and Garuda, but I got my Ifrit moves.”

Me: Huh??? What you….. Ahh shit, there he go, not exploring the menus and skill trees again.

Afro, if you want to see Ifrit Eikonic abilities, you need to open up the menu good, Buddy.
That we’re you can learn new Eikonic abilities & they’re ultimate. You can upgrade the Eikon abilities/ultimate as well.

ATP we should pull up, hold him hostage, and force him to give us hour long episodes… he cant shoot all of us

Liking bc I need his reaction to Bahamut and Titan

So, as a bunch of other people have said, bearers are essentially this games versions of slaves. Bearers have the innate ability to use the aether in their body and perform magic without the use of a crystal. Because of this, they are enslaved and used as tools until they completely petrify from the curse. That being said. With how touchy of a subject slavery is, Yoshi-P being hesitant on adding black characters, while still questionable, has a bit more merrit as he could have been worried on the implementation given the world of FFXVI and not wanted to possibly disrespect or demean the black community. It definitely could have been handled better by him though.

Bro you gotta use that active time lore when you pause a cut scene. It’ll explain pretty much everything

There is active time lore that you can access in case you can’t remember stuff, game is long asf so it helps to look back

Where the fuck they from? Ireland?

Nah Afro, don’t get scared of the likes now. They gonna keep coming as long as we can get FF16 vids. Also you gonna love the Titan fight.

Afro just so you know, Clive and Jill weren’t raised from the jump. Clive’s dad took her in at like 12 years old.

Jill leaning in like that like it isnt the biggest clue ever and Clive doing absolutely nothing

7:30 that crisis core music fit so well I thought it was the game for a second lol.

Afro have you never seen the flash? It’s just like iris and Barry. Not weird at all to me

Afro i HIGHLY suggest using the “Active Time Lore” (ATL) feature in FF16!! it clues you in on details about locations and characters you see as a cutscene is being played. I think those will answer most of the questions you have about the game so far!! 👍🏾

This is kinda spoiler to explain but the gist is human don’t have Aether but bearers are humans who have aether. There is a iside story there later down the line that explains it further. Theres a lore tab you can access during cutscenes that give you relevant lore. IT’s good to use when you off scene portions of this game.

Afro a little back seat but some abilites are better for staggering (the yellow bar underneath enemies)

afro is in his villain era, holding us hostages for likes 😭

amazing videos tho 🙂

10:16 if you think about it the dominant of Titan is middle eastern so there is some diversity. Also the reason for no black people was either because they forgot or they wanted a more realistic fantasy game. I’m mixed and it really doesn’t affect me. Do I speak for all colored people? No. Is it just my opinion? Yes.

This man Cid casually hit Clive with the LTG speech

I should probably stop watching this series since I just picked up a copy of this game lol

That thumbnail pose looks familiar…

my fav part about the game was not only the story but the hunt board once u get to the S ranks its so much fun

This could rival Afro’s Elden Ring play through. Cant wait to see his reactions to the later fights and story threads.

yall better put some respect on Final Fantasy 15 and 16, BOTH games made me cry and had great gameplay compared to our usual “turn based” games.

From 0:00 to 3:48….them the worst scene cuts/transitions/next scene things I’ve ever seen. Wtf you hire a new editor Afro??????????? I WAS CONFUSED

Ah what we gotta do to make you play skyrim. Not to finish but a good play though like 10-20 ep

Riku: we are you?
Replica Riku: we’re you he says
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Facts

Brother thinks he can bully me into leave an like I have all the power I will not submit to your demands and bullying

No… Clive and Jill are not brother and sister. You’ve been cracking me up with that 😂

Each time Afro pauses the game and asks a question, I just stare at that Active Time Lore with intensity. Meanwhile my friend was horrible with that feature since he loves lore.

We at almost 4k in an hour, just start recording, bro lolol.

Bearers are people who can use aether magic without the need for aether crystals. Idk how exactly people know they’re Bearers, but the mark on Bearer’s faces are just tattoos that are put on by others. The tattoo isn’t the curse, it’s just a symbol for people to know they’re Bearers, nothing more. Almost like a nametag. Also Dominants still get “hurt” using their powers, but not NEARLY as bad or as fast as non Dominants. A main theme of the story is why Bearers and Dominants are forced to do “regular people’s” bidding when they should be the dominators rather than the dominated

3.7k in 58 mins is CRAZYY

Afro calm down dawg they grew up together but not born or by the same people they ain’t blood related just bonded by life not everybody sees a problem with this so calm down

16:07 The curse isn’t the mark they have on thier face, but rather, Bearers are cursed from birth.
– Bearers have the abilities to draw/manipulate aether through their bodies, allowing them to do spells & cast magicks without the help of the Mothercrystals, but constant use of that ability causes strain on the body.
– To answer your question, Jill, Clive, Cid & Benedikta are bearers as well, so they’ll will eventually succumb to this “curse” as well. But Clive & the other dominants have a higher resilience to petrified because of their Eikons, but their not immune.
The Bearer’s curse is that their “gift” abilities are being abused & used for selfish gains.
(Hopefully, that answer your question, AFRO.)

My main problem is that the game is too easy. That and the fact that Elemental properties don’t matter, along with equipment.

Crisis Core is my favorite FF and you putting all the CC music in for cutscenes makes everything hit so good.

Lol my boy Afro you got a skill tree so you can use other skills

Lets get some Fact out there the Mark on the face is basically a Slave branding/ sign of being a bearer
Bearers are just Magic user
They turn in to Statues like things for constantly being force to use their magic

Reason why is all in the story

No, Omega is DLC and they weren’t subtle about it at all

Man, I’ll say it again like I said when you threatened us with 17k likes. Bet.

Afro youre in for thr most epicstory ever made in an FF7. Humanly speaking.
Youre gonna cry and yell to the sky ….a lot…..

We all know why there’s no black people in 16. Can you imagine if there were black branded in 16? People would be calling for Yoshi-P’s head.

Thank you dad !!!

On Bearers: Bearers are people capable of using their body’s aether to cast magic. The reserves of aether within a person’s body is limited and when the reserves run dry from overuse it results in the body slowly turning to stone. Sparse use of magic is fine, but bearer’s who are slaves are typically forced to use their magic at the behest of their owners who have little care of the cost.

Afro, you can go to Active Time Lore to learn more about the characters, story, etc.

Guts thumbnail

U kinda slow gang 😂😭✌️

@Afro bro use your Active time lore and also if you master an ability you can equip to any ekion ( gurda can be attached to the phoniex button you can mix and match bro(

Why wouldhe just skip over the whole boss of this dungeon… smh

Clean slate just say it frfr😂🎉

Now yall can be quiet he gave yall what yall want 😂😂😂😂😂

Basically bearers are like air filters, theres only so much aether that can pass through before the filter cant filter no more and its broken.

1.) Barers are people who can tap into the Aether (the crystals) and use magic.
2.) if people find out that you can use magic, they’ll make you a branded (the tattoo on Clive’s face)
3.) Branded become slaves to non-magic users and are treated as less than human

Sidenote: Yoshi-P dodged one hell of a bullet not putting black people in this game lol

6:31
Bro dropped the ball 😂

Pretty sure that any bearer are susceptible to the curse if they use magic excessively. Even dominants. The mark are its own thing used to identify bearers or magic users in general.

Accept the truth,!

bro shot my leg…. MAH LEEEGGGGG

I’m sorry but anyone blames him for killing his brother needs to stfu the dude has Ifrit an uncontrollable wild fire demon in him batter be happy his not losing control.

In the pause menu, there is a skill tree and you can unlock different moves for each Eikon you have. There are more Pheonix, Garuda abilities, and moves.

Y’all should like up. Don’t even start the video just like then start

NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z

As much as I wish FF16 got some black characters in the fray, lowkey, with the whole ” Bearers ” aka: _Slaves_, being a heavy topic of the game, I think it was the safest bet NOT to add Black characters in this game 😅

Yo Clive Strife is lookin good

😱I wish this was live but monies monie

Literally just about to finish the game and i see that you started a playthrough recently

No way bro shot us over 15k…
