Now that Clive had absorbed the power of every Eikon, the Mythos had almost reached full potential. He also used his influence to drive Clive’s quest to destroy the Mothercrystals, as each one shattered meant another god’s spirit was freed. By influencing King Barnabas and Emperor Olivier, Ultima ensured that Clive came into conflict with the major powers so that he would kill their Dominants, absorb their Eikons, and gradually build the power of the Mythos.
And so Ultima began the final stages of his plan. While Joshua managed to use the power of the Phoenix to cage Ultima’s spirit, the god had already recognised that Clive, who can harness the power of multiple Eikons, was the Mythos. Ultima was awoken when Clive and Cid destroyed Drake’s Head. In short: humanity repeated the failures of their creators. That led to the discovery of magic, which in turn led to conflict and war, and ultimately the world-devouring Blight. Forced to fend for themselves, they eventually gained their own will and self-determination. But by abandoning their godly duties over humanity, the new people of Valisthea were lost. Such a plan would take a thousand years to unfold, so Ultima and his kin went into hibernation. The Mythos could then be inhabited by Ultima, who would use the power harvested by the Mothercrystals to cast the world-creating spell. After many generations this new race would eventually produce the Mythos a human capable of harnessing unimaginable power. To acquire the vessel, they created humanity. To gain that power, the gods sacrificed their own physical forms to create the Mothercrystals, huge structures that would drain the natural aether that flowed through Valisthea’s soil. But the Blight followed them to this new land, and so the gods realised there was only one option: to build a whole new world.Ĭasting the spell to create this new world would require a huge amount of magical power, and a vessel strong enough to wield it. The gods were powerless to stop it, and so sixteen survivors fled to a new world: Valisthea. It allowed them to flourish, but it also came at a price: the world-destroying Blight. Long ago, the god Ultima and his kin created magic.
We’re about to reveal everything that happens in the last few hours of Final Fantasy 16, so prepare yourself for the biggest spoilers. If you’ve completed the game and want a detailed breakdown of what it all means, or don’t plan on playing it and want to skip straight to the end, then you’re in the right place. This is a game that features massive monsters beating the heck out of each other, after all, and so naturally the finale had to go super size. As you’d expect of a game in this series, the final hours of Final Fantasy 16 go to some wild places.
