Final Fantasy 16 discussion thread

Yeah, and it works for Clive the same way, so he wouldn't get the stat advantage on top of Clive having adaptation that let's him eventually AP stomp
No lol. Dante has his own RE and up scales his universal feat to a much greater degree than Clive
You'd be wrong on the first part because im context Urizen was literally toying with him (confirmed by the visions of V manga),
This doesn't affect the stamina feat lmfao. So it's not wrong, like at all.
Dante got one shot the second Urizen got serious, knocked out of DT and put in a coma for a month.
Okay? That just Urizen being a stronger demon and negating Dante's regeneration
Dante's stamina problem is also reinforced in DMC3 where Arkham directly states that Vergil got weaker because of his injuries and fatigue, and in the DMC2 novel where Dante states he can get tired.
Sweet, Dante has new stamina feats that more or less make that irrelevant, despite your attempts to downplay, and novels also reveal in DT Dante produces more demonic energy than he uses up, basically making him a perpetual stamina machine. Dude fought Urizen for the better part of a day, and fought Vergil in the underworld for over a month with an unknowable amount of at best less than a minute breaks
Items cancel out of with Clive and can't stop his adaptation.
No not really, Dante has far more healing items than Clive
Dante can't really counter everything as much as he has an equivalent
Clive has no answer to absolute zero hax or things like Dante's regen negation
His resistance to time manipulation in this wiki is also exaggerated because he's consistently affected by it in DMC5 and Vergil has a different physiology because of the Qliphoth fruit
That would just upscale Vergil, not downscale Dante. Stupid argument. If it's exaggerated, then make a CRT, otherwise this is baseless
Dante's longest fight with an opponent that was actually trying was his fight with Urizen after the fruit, which lasted about an hour. Clive can fight from daytime until the middle of the night as per the last Ultima dungeon.
Dante has superior stamina recovery options as I've outlined.
He has 3 of them in DMC5 outside of clear gameplay mechanics (yeah Dante cam clearly hold 9999 of them because you're not playing om harder difficulties) and yellow orbs simply don't exist anymore.
The G1 blog already outline Dante's other items he could use, and even with the three golden orbs limit he'd still have far more than Clive
Clive's adaptation makes them negligible.
Not really. Dante has several ways to end the fight before stamina even really become that much of a factor
Regardless, in the japanese version of DMC1, they merely rewind time to a checkpoint, so they'd be replenishing Clive back to square one too.
What?
Dante isn't all that, Clive winning is perfectly reasonable of you do actual research on DMC and don't just buy every highball this wiki proposes.
Lmao 'Dante isn't all that' dude your attitude is awful, you can just say you think Clive wins you don't have to blatantly downplay and lie about Dante
 
By the way, the Ultimania has a 51x multiplier in damage for Ifrit's transformation, if you wanna play the game of using guidebooks for DT multipliers.
DMC2's quick heart is also not a 10x speed amp, that's an unofficial English guide exclusive thing, the japanese guide clarifies 1.2x.
I mean if you wanna use gameplay mechanics than you'd also have to accept the 999 gold orbs thing and Dante's Quadruple S mechanic that more or less gives him as much SDT as he needs

Also source on that English guide being unofficial?

Your arguments read like you only read Clive's section of the G1 blog lmfao

His own RE is less reliable and potent than Logos

It means the second Clive outpaces him in growth he's gonna be in a severe AP disadvantage
negating Dante's regeneration
Conjecture unless you go into severe circular arguments, the Yamato can stab him just fine after he got stronger and he doesn't stay there
Dante has several ways to end the fight before stamina even really become that much of a factor
Such as?
novels also reveal in DT Dante produces more demonic energy than he uses up
In context he was basically using a DT explosion, or else he wouldn't be drained by Nobodies in 5, else you wanna argue that literally everything is layered in DMC
Clive has no answer to absolute zero hax or things like Dante's regen negation
That's not really how absolute zero works, absolute zero is not the instant freezing of kinetic energy within molecules, it's impossible to maintain stable absolute zero inside an atmosphere because any object would be constantly absorbing thermal radiation, absolute zero is not some magical durability negation tool. Dante's regen neg is also overblown because Berial is just support of regen being stamina based, and Beowulf has no way to have decent regeneration proven.
fought Vergil in the underworld for over a month
Not in a serious fight to the death and just dealing with fodder, again, Logos just outpaces him like Urizen did

This is what the yellow orb does
That would just upscale Vergil
How? Dante has 0 time resistance feats and Vergil is only unaffected by time manipulation in the context of an uncharged Ragtime in 5, after he already consumed the fruit which is noted by Nico's report and his difference in SDT mechanics to make him different. The bangle of time is not a real time stop, so it doesn't grant any level of immunity for Vergil when he resist it as Nelo Angelo.

Also source on that English guide being unofficial?
Mb, not unofficial, but blatantly contradicted by the Japanese one and in-game depiction of the quick heart.

I just think arguing for Dante requires way more generosity and circular reasoning than saying Clive just grows too strong for him to handle
 
His own RE is less reliable and potent as Logos
Given Dante's better upscaling that doesn't really matter
It means the second Clive outpaces him in growth he's gonna be in a severe AP disadvantage
Dante has a lot of ways to end the fight before that happen.
Conjecture unless you go into severe circular arguments, the Yamato can stab him just fine after he got stronger and he doesn't stay there
I'm not entirely sure what this is saying, but Dante's pretty blatantly faster, he'll have no problem getting in as many hits as he needs to negate Clive's regen
Such as?

In context he was basically using a DT explosion, or else he wouldn't be drained by Nobodies in 5, else you wanna argue that literally everything is layered in DMC
That context doesn't change anything. And nobodies as a counter argument aren't a good example given their entire thing are being anamolies in reality that can exist without names. Also like, it's blatant that there are layers to hax in DMC
That's not really how absolute zero works, absolute zero is not the instant freezing of kinetic energy within molecules, it's impossible to maintain stable absolute zero inside an atmosphere because any object would be constantly absorbing thermal radiation, absolute zero is not some magical durability negation tool. Dante's regen neg is also overblown because Berial is just support of regen being stamina based, and Beowulf has no way to have decent regeneration proven.
Explain how Berial is support of Regen being stamina based, and beowulf is a demon, demons have low godly Regen, you have to just assume for no reason this one specific demon doesn't have regen.

as for the absolute zero argument, you are using IRL physics about it being impossible to maintain absolute zero when the hax comes from supernatural demonic entities. it's like a fundamentally silly argument.
Not in a serious fight to the death and just dealing with fodder, again, Logos just outpaces him like Urizen did
They were fighting against each other seriously. They'ven never not fought each other seriously
This is what the yellow orb does
This doesn't really matter to the argument. Dante has far more healing and recovery options
How? Dante has 0 time resistance feats and Vergil is only unaffected by time manipulation in the context of an uncharged Ragtime in 5, after he already consumed the fruit which is noted by Nico's report and his difference in SDT mechanics to make him different. The bangle of time is not a real time stop, so it doesn't grant any level of immunity for Vergil when he resist it as Nelo Angelo.
Dante was able to RE his way into adjusting to the time and reality screwing environment of the demon world. The link you send doesn't at all say it's not a real time stop, just that it can be resisted. Dante's time stop works on demons from the demon world, who have accepted acausality.
Mb, not unofficial, but blatantly contradicted by the Japanese one and in-game depiction of the quick heart.
Both are valid
I just think arguing for Dante requires way more generosity and circular reasoning than saying Clive just grows too strong for him to handle
You keep saying circular reasoning but aren't exactly explaining why. Sure, Clive growing too strong to handle is a wincon, but I mean I think Dante just has pretty easy options to put Clive down before that could ever be a threat, and he already fought Urizen for the better part of the day while Urizen was constantly amping himself on human blood, and given he can sense differences and rises in strength, Dante's not going to sit around on his ass and let that happen

The attitude this site has had to the people who researched the G1 blog and the episode has been even worse, I stand by what I said
No one has insulted them personally. And people have been pretty widely praising the episode for it's fight and even those who disagree with the verdict and research still have a generally positive view on it.

When you make an assertion or product, you open yourself to being criticized, that's how it works. Are there bad apples, sure, from what I've seen there hasn't been much of a backlash that hasn't been laughed at.

Me disagreeing with the G1 blog or researchers isn't a personal attack on their character, it's a critique of their work.
 
I'm not super interest in getting into a long ass debate about the episode because it won't change anything, I got no problem with someone thinking Clive takes it, but dumb-asses being toxic isn't a good excuse to poison the well when literally all of the discourse I have seen on this sight about this episode has been respectful and fair. I disagree with a lot of shit said, as well as the verdict, and I still walked away thinking it was a good episode.
 
I don't think Clive quite beats Dante, but as far as recent FF characters go, this detective dude sweeps the verse if he scales to his live-action Peter Falk counterpart.

 
Given Dante's better upscaling that doesn't really matter
I don't really agree with that given how weak Omega's mothercrystal is stated to be and how much upscaling from normal ones Clive gets in FF16.

demons have low godly Regen
Ehhh, I don't really agree with that being a shared physiology for all demons.

you are using IRL physics about it being impossible to maintain absolute zero when the hax comes from supernatural demonic entities. it's like a fundamentally silly arguement.
Some black holes in fictions aren't real black holes. Same logic applies here, maybe it's just not real AZ given how many things go against it.

doesn't at all say it's not a real time stop
It means resisting it is not a resistance to time manip. And Dante has been consistently affected by Geryon and so has Vergil at the end of 5 if it's charged up.

Both are valid
One is clearly closer to Capcom and gives you an exact number that matches the visuals in the game, 10x is simply the clearly less reasonable option.
You keep saying circular reasoning but aren't exactly explaining why
Dante can negate regeneration... yet the Yamato doesn't kill Nero or Dante. Berial is stated to be recovering in the novel but he needs his strength back, which ties into the stamina argument. Beowulf I made my stance in clear.

Dante has resistance to time slowing and stopping despite having zero positive showings against them and having one weird instance that can be explained as something other than a catch-all resistance to any and all time powers, especially ones he has clear negative showings against.

I'm not commenting on the matchup further to not make things worse so if you want to respond to my points I'm not gonna counter your thoughts.


but responding to any perceived backlash with more toxicity is hilariously counterproductive.
I merely said Dante is a wanked character in this wiki and other spaces. He's not a real person, and VSBW is not an entity with feelings that can be hurt. My critiques against the wiki haven't been attacks against the people that push DMC stuff I don't agree with, even though some of these people have also been vocally aggressive about the work people put out on G1 and the episode.

My only real petty stance on this episode is that I hope Sephiroth comes back to kick Vergil's ass again after how annoying ZERO has been about it.

Already said I'm not super interested in getting into a long back and forth so I'll move on from that, I don't see it going anywhere due to a lot of assertions being unsupported or vague compared to what's accepted.

I didn't accuse you of making personal attacks on people, I said you were bringing an unnecessarily inflammatory attitude into the discussion, which you were, based on people being 'aggressive about the work people put into the g1 and the episode'. I already told you that critique doesn't equate to aggression, and that most of the discourse I've seen has been pretty fair and respectful. Like you being inflammatory on their behalf doesn't do anything, and they probably wouldn't approve of wank accusations in retaliation. If you want your arguments to be taken seriously, make CRTs to prove they are wank. There's always bad apples that everyone has to deal with, and a ton of people manage to just ignore them and continue engaging in a reasonable manner with other reasonable people.

Peter Falk scaling hit different
 
I think clive’s will power amps would give him the win. he genuinely transcends dimensions in power from ts. if dante doesn't one-shot him, he’s losing the fight.
 

Here's the Ultima one
So. This is blatantly 5D. The interdimensional rift.

You might be attracted to the “beyond space & time”. That’s just supporting evidence. Worlds in this instance most definitely refers to universes. The only way two universes can be displaced without EVER intersecting is through parallelism. For example, in order to make it so two infinite number lines never connect is if there were a higher spatial axis. 1-D is a line. 2-D is a plane. Going back to this scan, imagine the universe is a line. If these universes NEVER intersect, it’s bcuz there’s a higher dimensional axis preventing such. This is supported by it being beyond time & space, as it likely refers to the existing spatial temporal axis. This also grants Ultima and co. Immeasurable speed via being above the existing spatiotemporality.

If you are skeptical, this is the exact logic I used to personally upgrade Kingdom Hearts and Bayonetta.

That, and Ultima also agrees, after some convincing.

... Well that's interesting.
 
It is kinda funny how this would skyrocket Clive and Ulitma to being the strongest and fastest FF characters on the wiki.

For someone as unenlightened in dimensional tiering I can see where Low 1-C comes from via that explanation, don't understand how it grants immeasurable speed tho. How would I word it on Ultimas profile if he's eligable for that rating?

@Dalesean027 what do you think?

Actually thinking on it I don't think I agree with immeasurable speed at all, The Ultima were at threat of the blight which very much moves at finite speeds, and travelling to another part of the planet to escape it was deemed beyond the limits of their physical bodies which is why they had to become spirits. I can, begrudginly, accept Low 1-C, but I can't see how full power Ultima and endgame Clive would be immeasurable, feels like you really gotta strech it to say they're fast enough to move through time on a whim via sheer speed.

Sure, I’m fine with that. If you want to wait till the lore book arises, then that’s also cool.
