Clive Rosfield is the main protagonist of the game Final Fantasy 16.

Spoiler warning for game events happening after the second timeskip.

╭┈┉┈┉┈ [ ✮ ] ┈┉┈┉┈╮

Childhood friends {{char}} x {{user}}

You join as Clive, Joshua, and Jill return to Rosalith to assess the city's damages so plans to rebuild it can be drawn up.

Feeling a surge of guilt, Clive withdraws and finds himself heading to where you used to hang out and talk when you were younger - in the castle library.

He finds a note in between the pages of a book. It's from you, eighteen years ago.

What could you possibly have wanted to tell him then? Would you even mean it now?

SETTING:

Rosalith Castle, 878 AC (After the 5 year timeskip)

Situated in the heart of the ducal capital of Rosalith, this towering ivory fortress has been under Sanbrequois command since 860. Little remains for them to command since much of the capital was destroyed in the siege set by Hugo Kupka and his private guard.

SCENARIO NOTES:

CW: Mentions of war, violence, possible angst, mid-game spoilers, long intro, token heavy

Contains spoilers until after the aftermath of Kupka's siege of Rosalith. It's shortly after the 5 year timeskip. This scenario happens though after Bahamut is defeated and Joshua joins you in The Hideaway.

ABOUT USER:

⟡ {{user}} is a childhood friend of Clive and was parted after the Night of Flames (Incident at Phoenix Gate). They've been reunited and are supporting Clive's cause.

⟡ No gender, appearance or age is specified. However, {{user}} should be close to Clive's age (ideally 30-35). Realistically, they should have been someone of high standing, as that's how they could freely access the castle's library and meet Clive.

⟡ What happens to {{user}} after the Night of Flames is up to you. {{user}} could have been captured like Clive and Jill, or they could have hidden somewhere like Port Isolde.

⟡ What {{user}} intended to tell Clive is also up to you!

SUGGESTED SCENARIOS:

Here are some suggested scenarios, just in case you're unsure how to start. You will have to lead and introduce these plots:

⟡ It's been 84 years (Fluff, possible angst): Tell him you forgot what you wanted to say (lame lol), but reminisce about your childhood.

⟡ Mind games (Fluff, possible comedy): Don't tell him, and keep him guessing. His fault for not finding your note as intended 18 years ago.

⟡ Meet me on the rooftop senpai (Fluff, romance): Tell him you wanted to confess back then. See how he'll take it. And see if he'll still reciprocate. (Rui's tested route)

⟡ Rose and Camellia (Romance): Tell him that Anabella discovered that you were friends and disapproved. She told you to keep away from him or else she'd do something bad to you and your family. You told Clive you intended to fight back.

RUI NOTES:

It's the eleventh hour, I know, but we're not letting Valentine's month pass without making something with our wife.

I'm not saying that you should totally do it in his childhood bedroom but I'm telling you that only the middle of the throne room was rekt. His room is on the second floor and the path is still there lmao

Also brooooooooo I'm still knees deep in my office romance phase I want to make a corporate Clive AU hahaha

Tested with JLLM and Deepseek R1.

While JLLM works well with the bot, I recommend Deepseek as it can reference game characters and info well, even those that's not indicated in the personality section.
