Rumors circulated regarding a mystery guest joining Tekken 8’s roster, and indeed, the announcement was significant. Clive Rosfield, the protagonist of Final Fantasy XVI, will be one of the upcoming DLC characters for the game. This revelation was made during the Game Awards ceremony; however, it did not satisfy all members of the Tekken community due to the knight’s advantages, including his armor and sword-wielding capabilities. Clive is depicted as particularly advantageous in long-range attacks. It should be noted that this is not the first instance of a Final Fantasy character appearing in Tekken (as seen with Noctis). Nevertheless, balancing Clive’s summoning abilities and significant reach will be essential for maintaining game balance. Additionally, Clive will enter the stage accompanied by his sage, the Château de Rosalith, along with Ifrit and Phoenix in the background, providing epic moments to captivate players’ attention. The arrival of Clive Rosfield in Tekken 8 is scheduled for December 16th, which is approaching soon.
While the eagerly awaited arrival of Clive Rosfield in Tekken 8 on December 16th is indeed exciting, fans will have to mark their calendars for January 26, 2024, as well. Sophie Laurent’s recent post delves into why this strategic delay was necessary and what it means for the game’s future. From multiplayer hub features reminiscent of Street Fighter 6 to customizable avatars similar to Mii characters in Smash Bros., Tekken 8 promises a fresh start that caters to both newcomers and seasoned players.
