This official Final Fantasy 16 merch must be some kind of sick joke

There are a lot of intense moments in Final Fantasy 16; even from the very start of the game, where you’re engaged in a massive-scale chase scene involving a pair of broiling Eikons, Square Enix keeps the adrenaline high in 2023’s biggest RPG hit. But one of the most standout moments involved one of the game’s big bads – Hugo Kupka – and the god that resides within him, Titan. The Titan fight – foreshadowed and telegraphed since practically the beginning of the game – is a big one. No pun intended. Taking place across multiple locations, and in multiple phrases, the grudge match between grizzly protagonist Clive Rosfield and human mountain Hugo Kupka is one of the central conflicts studied in the game.And with good reason; both men think they’re vindicated in their hatred for the other, both would lay their lives on the line to defend their idea of justice.
