To be honest, a little bit mixed. I don’t care much about FF, and hoped for other FG character. At the same time, he looks flashy, and interesting and reminding Miguel. So I will roll with what we got.
@@Boogard I think it's understandable. Tifa would have been better but it would cost Harada an arm and a leg for copyright licensing. People who are mad about Tifa not being the choice should be mad at copyright if they want to be mad at something. And I've already seen plenty of people claiming they're going to buy Tekken 8 to check out Clive's character which is EXACTLY what guest characters are for. If Clive is getting new players to Tekken 8, then he's a good pick regardless of personal bias. I don't really have much of an opinion when it comes to guest characters because I understand that no matter who you choose, there's going to be licensing issues, balancing issues, etc. and I understand as a Tekken fan that guest characters are more for new fans and less for people like me. I mean let's be honest, were Tekken fans CLAMORING for Negan from the walking dead? I don't think so.
People said the same thing about Noctis, and then Tekken 7 sales skyrocketed. This is not for Tekken fans, this is for FF fans to make them buy Tekken, start thinking.
Even if Tifa being in Tekken is copium, I never expected Clive of all characters. Maybe we'll get a VF guest character for the next one, considering the announcement.
@@benjimiguel17 that’s like asking people who miss classic traditional warfare to enlist in the military and go fight on the frontlines just because they enjoy playing video games based on them.
@@vikingfromnorth45that's the problem for some people. I personally fell in love with T7 and TTT2 because it felt more realistic and more fluid instead of overtly flashy. Of course I loved the idea of bringing another Final Fantasy character but I wanted him to be less flashy but it's fine I'm gonna prob gonna love playing him
@@vikingfromnorth45 This is everything wrong with tekken. Tekken 8 has ruined the image of tekken as a whole. The entire series needs to go. Virtua Fighter is the future.
I love this DLC, I really don't understand the hate of Clive. This is much better than the Negan DLC before. And I think the Tifa hype is just people simping for her, and I'm all in for it too
@@yellowscarlightningscream8347 dude, its not. That's a far cry from the real gameplay. If you said Soul Calibur I would have believed you. Tekken, or Clive in this case is very different from Dragon Ball FighterZ or UMVC3
Honestly, watching some of the Tekken fans absolutely lose their shit over this dlc character has been some of the most entertaining media I've engaged in yet ngl Thanks Harada!
@@infernoml5839 seriously lmao I literally dropped FFXVI FOR Tekken 8. I personally thought FFXVI was a weaker entry in the series, but I'd be lying if I said his introduction to Tekken 8 hasn't hyped me and made me want to continue my playthrough of the game lol
Ff xv is one of my favorite games of all time but I never cared for noctis’ tekken iteration I had way more fun with ganryu than any guest from t7 Cool for whoever is looking forward to Clive. Ff xvi looks dope but I just believe they need to let tekken be tekken & stop with the guest craze. I don’t want my tekken to be ruined like mk was due to crossover fests
@@versatilelord8893and getting died like SC and DoA? Yeah good luck with more fighting games become more dead in future🥱 Seriously can anyone stop whining over ANYTHING!?
Grumpy old guy here. Clive does literally nothing for me. I didn't know who he was and on seeing him, I don't like him. Felt the same way about Noctis, and fighting Noctis was my least favorite thing about Tekken 7. Just a pain. I haven't played a Final Fantasy since the 90s, but I loved FF7 when it came out, so I would have liked Tifa.
@@shenelljohnson74 Believe it or not, you can dislike something about a video game and still deal with it. My good buddy and T7 training partner mained Noctis, so I ended up getting a lot of matchup practice. Despite not liking Noctis, I like my friend a lot. Turns out you're just kind of rude.
@@shenelljohnson74 Oh I'm hype for Anna. And hopefully ARMAH KING sooner or later. If you wanna find out if I'm any good, feel free to step right up. Currently at Emperor, trying to hit Tekken God...
I was really sad at first because like everyone else I wanted Tifa but as a FF fan I'm excited for Clive cause he is a dope character and I gotta represent for all my FF fans so I'll be maining him.
I feel most who have played FF16 understand how awesome the character is regardless. I expected him from his combo oriented combat in game alongside the variety of elemental abilities
@@ToothPickThaGod Btw, this has nothing to do about FFVII character license is very expensive like Tifa. Square and Harada don't like Tifa fans on Social Media, because they are considered perverts who watch H and play Mods on PC. Remember, Tekken is not DOA. This is a E-sport game, not a simp or pervert game. Disclaimer... I'm not to do with supporting Woke and LaGiBaTuk culture in video games.
3:30 Just wanted to say, "nope, definitely NOT happy about Clive." There is a lot less overlap between fans of the various FF games than you realize. FF7 is a franchise unto itself, and FF16 doesn't share much with it. I loved OG FF7 and played some of the offshoot games, including the remake, and while I plan on playing 16 eventually, I haven't yet and don't know anyone who has. My friends that are into JRPGs were way more into FF7 Rebirth. So yeah, you unintentionally made a really hot take with that one. Looking at it more broadly, I think it primarily came down to wanting to make a sequel to Noctis for T8. A lot of the initial negative responses sound very similar to what was said when Noctis was announced "this game is too anime, should have been in Soul Calibur, etc." So I think he will prove to be divisive. He seems like safe choice on paper, (and maybe because Noctis worked, he is) but in reality Tifa would have been better all around. Lots of people are going to see Clive and say, "who?" whereas Tifa has over 20 years of exposure, including her own fighting game appearance (fun little 3d fighter called Ehrgeiz, bizarre game but the home port was amazing). So brand recognition wise, Tifa is better, and people have been way more hyped for her, and this pretty much confirms that dream is dead, which sucks. She also would have had a cooler, more "Tekken-like" moveset, but ultimately they went with Clive because he's closer to Noctis, and that's probably the main reason they chose him. I would be curious to see someone more knowledgeable than me break down which of his moves and animations are straight from Noctis, because my last gripe is this: does this mean that EVERYONE in season 1 DLC is actually a returning character? If Clive is just a re skin of Noct than that's kinda what's implied. Anyway, enough dooming, just had to get that off my chest. Didn't really change a thing in the large view, still gonna keep playing T8 cuz the game is fun, still not buying any characters yet, and the stage looks cool at least.
@@erichthegraham as much as I agree Tifa is a wayyyy better fit just off what type of character she was in her game, I feel like she would have been too akin to someone like Asuka Also yeah, if people reacted this way with Noctis, this sort of thing will definitely die down really soon (if Negan was in T7, anything goes). I just think that’s the nature of the fighting game community, not everyone is ever happy. I do hope that next season they announce which characters will be coming into the game (what with the new Steam policies?), it would be really good if they were more transparent.
The main characters are fucking demons. Hell, Jin turns into an angel and fights his dad on a damn asteroid. Tekken is not some grounded martial arts game like people are pretending
@@TrueReverse74 Yeah I personally wanted someone who fought more grounded, (monkey man, IP man, Liu kang) but also lowkey wanted scorpion/sub zero from MK who are also a bit more fantasy so there isn't really anyone "perfect" that would fit. To each their own!
@@Chlorindo not sure what you are saying. But if your saying it was hype cause we've played finalfantasy then you are wrong, me nor my friends have ever played any of the final fantasy games
This was a welcome surprise for sure. I was hoping for Tifa like most people, but they did an amazing job with Clive. I recently picked up ff16 on steam sale and I’m really enjoying it. Clive is a really cool character and I think he is a good pick. Tifa was probably too expensive to license but maybe she’ll come in a future tekkenz
Im glad im not in the minority on being happy Clive got in. Ff16 was my goty last year one of my favourites of all time, I still would've been happy if Tifa got picked but I'm pumped my goat got in instead!
Same ! I tought Tifa would be picked because people were asking of her, and she's a fighter, but I'm really happy about it Wanted more Clive after FF16
This was probably in the works for a very long time. Just like ghost face was definitely only in mk1 cause these was supposed to be a movie. It’s not about fan service; it’s about money from other studios and IP owners. Clive isn’t a bad character; it’s just not what people asked for and they know it
The only annoying thing about this is seeing countless people whine and complain about a character I don’t know about (Clive) and then all of them expecting Tifa despite us getting no real hints that we were gonna get her. I personally would’ve preferred a different video game guest character that isn’t from Final Fantasy at all but it is what it is 🤷
@@666slateran666 so what? Is that supposed to make me care or something? Still doesn’t suddenly mean the final character was gonna be Tifa from FF7 especially when they would likely put Cloud or Sephiroth first before Tifa if they did decide to put a FF7 character.
@RazuX5 yes because people love sword characters who use magic in their martial arts fighting game. If this was soul calibur I wouldn't be as confused as to why they added him. It's not like he's gonna sell more copies of ff16
Ya hate it when the battle pass gets added for money, ya hate it when the character you want doesn’t make it so it doesn’t make Tekken money - this sentence makes no fucking sense to me
I know right or exorcist, demon vampires, Chinese dude destroying mountains, kangaroos, bears, martial walking tree knows everyone styles, cyborg's, robot's, vengeful spirit man was gonna exminate mankind, Ninja's, samurai, high school girls, fat & obese guy call bob dodging bullet's Devil & Angels don't fit here who knew😂
@@shenelljohnson74Yeah dude the last character we had before this has a super saiyan transformation that gives him golden lightning, we need Tekken characters, not over the top randos like that "Heihachi" guy (joke)
This guy looks visually good but this is not a soul Calibur why do we have sword guy with magic instead armor king Miguel or any FIGHTER (sry for weird English)
As someone who isn’t particularly interested in or familiar with final fantasy, Tifa would have 100% been a better choice to draw in interest to Tekken 8. Tifa and the game she comes from has enough recognition throughout the internet that someone with no interest in the series has still heard of her. I saw Clive and thought “ok, fantasy sword dude. Never heard of him” and didn’t think much more on it. Tifa in leagues more recognisable. I get why he was chosen, promote the newest game and all that, but there is no doubt in my mind that Tifa would sell better and draw more people into the game.
Ifrit looks divine! Being a huge ff fan I absolutely loved Noctis in T7. Haven’t played ff16 yet but Clive also looks incredible, can’t wait to main him!
When the trailer started, i thought "oh ff 14 stuff." When jin appeared, i wished it was ff14 free fire fortnite ANYTHING but tekken, out of every character, every franchise and every other tekken character they chose a character no one asked that is a fusion between noctis and victor, if people wanted the action to slow down they are doubling down the action, we will not have tekken 9 at this rate
@@jumpfoldit means you're bad at the game It's funny how these sorta characters are in the game but now but aren't top 5 or top 10 for that matter especially in tournaments it's mostly Jin, drag, Nina or king etc but never sword characters i wonder why
Of course he would look cooler than tifa. But tekken isn’t a game for a f**k lot of flashy attacks. A little bit is fine but I would like to be able to see my game.

@@pratamasyarief_15 Harada must have a lot to say about Bamco’s other games with fanservice like Code Vein’s companion character and “universal nudity simulator” armor break from Soul Calibur 6 then, huh? I’d imagine the same goes for Square Enix whenever they look at Nier Automata’s Black Box being a thinly veiled excuse to get 2B into her underwear in-game or the Mana games featuring female characters showing at least as much skin as Tifa like Palamena and Angela lmao. I’m sorry I just can’t take this seriously if they’re gonna act holier-than-thou *after* making money from that exact type of content with their past and current products 😂
What does it mean? I'll tell you what it means. It means Harada has a good relationship with whoever is in charge of final fantasy and it was easy cheap or free to get the use of one of their characters again. It also means that we will be seeing more guest characters in the future. Likely one per season And it's all a good thing if you ask me.
This is the most retarted decision of Tekken ever, he should obviously be a soul calibur character. I’ve been playing tekken since tekken 1 and this is just ruining the balance of the game. He doesn’t belong here, period. What’s next Dante from DMC? Or Kratos from GoW?
Brother I hear. I started on tekken 2 and 3 in 1997. Going back and forth. Tekken had gradually upgrades on 4 - 6...and the tags...but 7 went left field and this is just blasphemy. Im done with tekken...
@@betrapvideos I’m with you bro, tekken 6 was my favorite tekken game ever of all the canon games, tekken 3 is my most nostalgic. I hated tekken 7 with all my heart, big disappointment, got bored after a month. I love tekken 8, but this character ruined the game.
@@Bizzoizzotekken 1 you say? Yeah ask yourself for 1 sword guy(yoshimitsu), fcking girls with chainsaw, kangoroo can fight, 1 little creature shoot fireball, a fcking gunslinger and dont forget victor, fcking devil and angel in the game. This guy is just 5% of the 95% who use sword and still niche over many years. You dont see alisa in top tournament except 8 right? Even yoshimitsu not even in tournament AT ALL except 8. Keep that delusional for yourself.
He has normal range guys... He's flashy but if you look at the gameplay it's very clear that he has no long range move that he can just rip that isn't linear or its a high. How do you know he's broken?? You haven't played him. No one has. Did you know Yoshi has a sword? He's literally a soul Calibur character. Complain about him
@@Hypanozhaha bro with all the due respect, that’s a lazy argument, I was expecting someone mentioning ”Yoshi have a sword” Not too be rude, but you sound like a new gen tekken fan. If you actually knew tekken, you would know that Yoshi didn’t almost have any ”sword based moves” until like tekken 5-6, his moves were 95% ’swordless’ and the moves when he did use the sword, the moves didn’t have any range at all. And first of all he is legacy, he is Haradas nr 1 favorite character, that’s why Harada invested so much on him. He’s a OG tekken character and was GUEST character on soul calibur since soul calibur 2 because of his popularity. And even in tekken 8, NOW he is very sword based, but that is manageable. Ofc, we can see on Monday ’how the characters is, but if Noctis was a issue in tekken 7 why wouldn’t Clive be in tekken 8? I hate stupid characters like Victor, but I am still okay with him compared to this BS FF character
Me being a big final fantasy fan, and me that played BOTH and BEAT final fantasy 7 and 16, I'm actually happy and okay with this, i did want tifa in tekken 8 ngl because she just fits the tekken them perfectly like a glove, I always seem Clive as more of a soul caliber guest character if anything which is not a bad thing, BUT THIS MAN IS IN TEKKEN 8 IS INSANE! AND I'M HERE FOR IT, but I'm not too sad or butthurt that tifa didn't make it in but yes it does suck, either way I'm happy with this and will be mainjng Clive with Jin, and Jun, hopefully tifa comes through in season 2 or maybe 3, but we'll see what the future of tekken holds for these characters.
Players asking for any other character than Clive? Yeah sure let's add another cheesy ahh mf with non-parryable attacks, shitton of stances and bullshit moves. Let's add a guy more than half of the players won't even recognise, that's exactly what players needed, more cheese.
Forced, out of place, and tastelessly unasked for. Having a Mystical Swordsman from another planet fight a boxer from London feels very... idk. Tifa was at least on theme..
I was expecting jago from Killer instinct but ig i was wrong and his moveset would be perfect for this game and his shadow meter or instinct could be his literal heat and bro shadow meter would go crazy!
@@agssilv5919 there’s other characters that also punch and kick, also that doesn’t answer my question on why soo many people were expecting her despite there being no teases of her at all before we finally got the reveal.
@@agssilv5919That's it for the world of bears cyborgs kangaroos demon vampires exorcist assassins high school girls old man surviving lava destroying a metero azazel bought to destroy the planet Ninja's swords, cyborgs basically a moving weapon, Nina with guns, DEVIL and Angel Don't convince you enough this isn't VF 2.0
3:30 Final Fantasy franchise fans doesn't work like that unfortunately, they could love 1 title, and hate the other. FF7 and FF16 is a good example actually, one is loved by majority, and the other receive a lot of backlash
Which they won't, this is the worst possible choice even more disappointing than noctis was cause it means we are never getting cloud or Tifa, they should have just chosen a different franchise instead of doing this AGAIN
Re: DLC reveals - Pretty sure those claiming that Tekken will have to change how they release characters on Steam is misunderstanding the wording. I am of the opinion that telling everybody who the characters are going to be upfront is more consumer-friendly in the long run. Doing it the way Tekken is doing it generates more hype but the former is more consumer-friendly because it allows you to make an informed purchase. I think as time goes on, more people will move towards the former model but for now Tekken does seem to be generating a lot of character hype so we'll see.
I'm wondering if getting Tifa being a FFVII character might make her more expensive/difficult to aquire? That aside, I personally think Clive looks pretty dope and I'll most certainly try him out. 😁
As someone who really liked FF16 and prefers Clive over Tifa outside of Tekken any day of the week, I would still prefer having a non sword character in Tekken.
personally, i am annoyed... The game is not in a state where you can add a noctis 2.0 and have online be enjoyable... I already play a character who doesn't have the frames to get in at times,and now i can't parry his blade? it is recipe for me to skip EVERY SINGLE clive matchup. Cause A) im not getting him so I can't lab him B) i don't have a fun time with my main as is AND C) I CAN"T LAB HIM!!! I don't know what tekken is thinking, yet i have to wait tilll Virtua fighter comes out to scratch the 3d fighter itch....
I’m so fucking happy. Would’ve been happy regardless of Clive or Tifa. I’m excited that it’s Clive, since he’s the latest FF main character and now I have another reason to enjoy him outside FF16.
This is disappointing considering how well Harada and them were listening to the community on feedback for T8. End of the day it’s their game and we just play it
I've played through FF16 and Rebirth and can't understand why they'd go with Clive over Tifa. It's not an 'I like this character' thing, it's Tifa's style lining up super-well with a fighting game.
The steam update is only revealing the contents of the season pass (e.g. maps, characters, costumes) in their designated time frames. So they would have to reveal the month it is released but not the character
3:30 this is not true for a large portion of tifa fans. People have been requesting her for a long time and to get two FF characters who use swords instead of who they truly want is not something to be happy about in peoples eyes. I like his character and his inclusion, but I’m too caught up on what could have been
This shit is so ass I like Tifa more which is fitting and Bamco Tekken division can afford her like bruh. Edit: nvm they cant afford her cuz its too big
Would’ve been so dope if they added Baki or Yujiro Hanma as a guest character since street fighter fumbled the bag with it Or even Akira Yuki to build hype for the new VF
I didn't know which character I would want as a guest. That's why I'm relatively neutral about this reveal. I'm still curious to see how Clive performs. I would definitely like Lei Wulong as the next original character.
Huge let down & epic fail - especially with the Virtua Fighter announcement. I’ve been a diehard Tekken loyalist since the very first game, but it’s just gone beyond stupid now with all the anime stuff… I’ll be jumping ship to Virtua Fighter
Literally everyone should be doing this. It isn't even about clive, the game is just pure garbage, scrubby and boring to watch at all levels. TWT was a snoozefest and will continue to be so long as heat is the main mechanic. There's literally NO reason for anyone to be playing Tekken 8 when Virtua Fighter is just around the corner. With the amount of eSports attention its getting I hope it completely dwarfs TWT and EVO and other large tournametns start excluding Tekken from their lineups.
Id have been so happy if they added yuta, he could play mostly using his katana and then call on rika for attacks and heatsmash like raven does with his clones
If tekken 7 season 2 is anything to go off of, I think we will see mostly returning characters. Anna is already confirmed, and Armor king is basically guaranteed to be in there as well. My personal prediction is we will also see Miguel and Fakhumram, along with another guest character, depending on the release date of the new virtua fighter, it might me someone from their roster, but i doubt it, they will probably have them later down the line. SF6 is also a very unlikely game to have a guest character from, and I'd rather see someone from blazeblue or guilty gear make their way into tekken (no 2d characters pls)
FF16 is not the new game. Final Fantasy 7 rebirth is, and the PC version was just announced. But yeah, another teleporting sword guy instead of a martial artist it is
Since when does this game is about all about martial arts my guy come on think man Lars, Claudio, Yoshi, Raven, Alisa, Eliza, Miguel, gigas, Jack, Lili, especially Mishima aren't doing a form of martial arts you can't be this oblivious 💀
I agree the game has been loding it on the actual martial arts but after so many characters you gotta find ways to keep it fresh and come up with new styles but if we could at least keep it to hand to hand combat that would be great... although im not against the zoning pistol shots or a knife here and there.. @@shenelljohnson74
@@Denrosanabben this comment was made for you I mean do you truly believe half the roster is using real martial arts The list goes on these moves can't even do in real life especially with the Mishima
I had my hunch that it was going to be Clive since for the very first FF character in the franchise they went with Noctis which is arguably one of the least popular FF protagonist (not his fault tho). I wanted Tifa but I cant complain, one thing this does confirm tho is that this will more than likely turn into a tradition where every Tekken game will have a FF character and this does keep the Tifa slot alive for a next game. They only thing stopping Tifa being in Tekken is just money, Tifa (or any FF7 character) will be very expensive to add to the game so more than likely when Namco feels like Tekken is making enough money to justify her we will finally have her in Tekken and rejoice. After all not even god damn Nintendo was rich enough to not have a serious meeting regarding Cloud in Smash Ultimate. Bro was so expensive that the game almost missed its “Everyone is Here” legendary status.
Final fantasy 16 is easily one of my favourite games of all time and this reveal was Super hype for me but if you ask me between him or Tifa in a Tekken game I will choose Tifa because she fits the tekken formula extremely well and is a martial artist which is mainly what Tekken represents. Although I won’t complain because he looks too good
He looks cool, but if your fighting that, it looks cancer, whether or not hes strong. Sometimes you dont need to use the entire budget to make a character. I feel like it will be visually overwhelming to fight.
3:33 nope, big nope. Unfortunately as much as i wish this was the case. FF 7 has become so big that its its own franchise. I like to say there are FF fans and there are FF7 fans, two completely different types of people. I do get the disappointment as i was also perplexed when he was revealed but upon watching the extended trailer i had no doubt clive was the better choice.
@@shenelljohnson74 Your comment is a reminder of why I don't like interacting in English videos. Everything related to dissatisfaction with the direction Tekken has taken in recent years is received as "Skill Issue", assumptions based on nothing. I could say a lot of things about my rank, but whatever, think what you want.

Not my original comment, but I want to re-post it because it's so true: Fans: "Baki or Tifa would be perfect for Tekken! They're realistic fighters who fit the vibe perfectly!" Harada: "Hmm, how about a sword-wielding, demon/god-summoning magician instead?" I'm vastly disappointed. Even setting aside the fact that I really wanted Tifa in this game... this guy looks way overtuned. Why should he appear more badass and mighty than Kazuya or Jin? (Even though I don't like either of them.) I just don't get it. This game is becoming a joke.
It means Harada a H03 for how he just pimp slapped his community 😂. Fans asked for Tifa and this dude gave the LTG signature. “YOUR LIFE MEANS NOTHING, YOU SERVE ZERO PURPOSE”
What do you guys think about Clive's addition In Tekken 8? And who are you hoping to see next in season 2?
I’m honestly bummed out. So many options for Legacy and Guest characters but we got Clive. Gonna have to suck it up now
To be honest, a little bit mixed. I don’t care much about FF, and hoped for other FG character.

I don't really have much of an opinion when it comes to guest characters because I understand that no matter who you choose, there's going to be licensing issues, balancing issues, etc. and I understand as a Tekken fan that guest characters are more for new fans and less for people like me. I mean let's be honest, were Tekken fans CLAMORING for Negan from the walking dead?
I don't think so.

@@yellowscarlightningscream8347 anime direction? Clive is an anime? lol
@@AkoSiGundam69 The style of fighting is similar to anime figther games. Where the gameplay revolves around abilities and cooldowns.
@@yellowscarlightningscream8347 dude, its not. That's a far cry from the real gameplay. If you said Soul Calibur I would have believed you. Tekken, or Clive in this case is very different from Dragon Ball FighterZ or UMVC3
While everyone was hoping for tifa, deadass i was hoping for jonathan joestar
That would have been so sick. If only
that woulda been way too cool. Tekken devs cant seem to do anything right atm.
Pride month already ended dude you didn’t need to say this
I never even considered anyone from JoJo but goddamn that would be cool.
Sunlight yellow overdrive rage would go crazy
Honestly, watching some of the Tekken fans absolutely lose their shit over this dlc character has been some of the most entertaining media I've engaged in yet ngl
Thanks Harada!
Agreed! They are so salty😂 While im vibing having Clive the goat in tekken
@@infernoml5839 seriously lmao I literally dropped FFXVI FOR Tekken 8. I personally thought FFXVI was a weaker entry in the series, but I'd be lying if I said his introduction to Tekken 8 hasn't hyped me and made me want to continue my playthrough of the game lol
Ff xv is one of my favorite games of all time but I never cared for noctis’ tekken iteration
I had way more fun with ganryu than any guest from t7
Cool for whoever is looking forward to Clive. Ff xvi looks dope but I just believe they need to let tekken be tekken & stop with the guest craze. I don’t want my tekken to be ruined like mk was due to crossover fests
@@versatilelord8893and getting died like SC and DoA? Yeah good luck with more fighting games become more dead in future🥱
Seriously can anyone stop whining over ANYTHING!?
I hate the move, can’t sugarcoat it at all
Grumpy old guy here. Clive does literally nothing for me. I didn't know who he was and on seeing him, I don't like him. Felt the same way about Noctis, and fighting Noctis was my least favorite thing about Tekken 7. Just a pain.
I haven't played a Final Fantasy since the 90s, but I loved FF7 when it came out, so I would have liked Tifa.
That means you're bad at the the game Noctis isn't even top five or top 10 You just suck
@@shenelljohnson74 Believe it or not, you can dislike something about a video game and still deal with it. My good buddy and T7 training partner mained Noctis, so I ended up getting a lot of matchup practice. Despite not liking Noctis, I like my friend a lot. Turns out you're just kind of rude.
@@AlexRFightgames want to come off to apologize to you then.. Not everything should cater to you hopefully you'll meet YOUR character until next time

@@shenelljohnson74 noctis is a scrub character lmao
I was really sad at first because like everyone else I wanted Tifa but as a FF fan I'm excited for Clive cause he is a dope character and I gotta represent for all my FF fans so I'll be maining him.
I feel most who have played FF16 understand how awesome the character is regardless. I expected him from his combo oriented combat in game alongside the variety of elemental abilities
@@ToothPickThaGod Btw, this has nothing to do about FFVII character license is very expensive like Tifa. Square and Harada don't like Tifa fans on Social Media, because they are considered perverts who watch H and play Mods on PC. Remember, Tekken is not DOA. This is a E-sport game, not a simp or pervert game.
Disclaimer... I'm not to do with supporting Woke and LaGiBaTuk culture in video games.
3:30 Just wanted to say, "nope, definitely NOT happy about Clive." There is a lot less overlap between fans of the various FF games than you realize. FF7 is a franchise unto itself, and FF16 doesn't share much with it. I loved OG FF7 and played some of the offshoot games, including the remake, and while I plan on playing 16 eventually, I haven't yet and don't know anyone who has. My friends that are into JRPGs were way more into FF7 Rebirth. So yeah, you unintentionally made a really hot take with that one.
Looking at it more broadly, I think it primarily came down to wanting to make a sequel to Noctis for T8. A lot of the initial negative responses sound very similar to what was said when Noctis was announced "this game is too anime, should have been in Soul Calibur, etc." So I think he will prove to be divisive. He seems like safe choice on paper, (and maybe because Noctis worked, he is) but in reality Tifa would have been better all around. Lots of people are going to see Clive and say, "who?" whereas Tifa has over 20 years of exposure, including her own fighting game appearance (fun little 3d fighter called Ehrgeiz, bizarre game but the home port was amazing).
So brand recognition wise, Tifa is better, and people have been way more hyped for her, and this pretty much confirms that dream is dead, which sucks. She also would have had a cooler, more "Tekken-like" moveset, but ultimately they went with Clive because he's closer to Noctis, and that's probably the main reason they chose him. I would be curious to see someone more knowledgeable than me break down which of his moves and animations are straight from Noctis, because my last gripe is this: does this mean that EVERYONE in season 1 DLC is actually a returning character? If Clive is just a re skin of Noct than that's kinda what's implied.
Anyway, enough dooming, just had to get that off my chest. Didn't really change a thing in the large view, still gonna keep playing T8 cuz the game is fun, still not buying any characters yet, and the stage looks cool at least.
@@erichthegraham as much as I agree Tifa is a wayyyy better fit just off what type of character she was in her game, I feel like she would have been too akin to someone like Asuka
Also yeah, if people reacted this way with Noctis, this sort of thing will definitely die down really soon (if Negan was in T7, anything goes). I just think that’s the nature of the fighting game community, not everyone is ever happy.
I do hope that next season they announce which characters will be coming into the game (what with the new Steam policies?), it would be really good if they were more transparent.
Disappointment is what it means...
Clive haters need to press L3+R3 to accept the truth
I agree
That was clever. Bravo.
mannnnnnnnnnn…. You knowwwww
*Wheeze*
Truly a man of culture
Considering we had Noctis in t7, us having fantasy-esq characters like Claudio, Zafina, etc. I don’t feel like he’s too out of place.
I agree, but I think most people would prefer, that those characters fight with their fists is all. Which I feel is understandable.
This is why I love reading comments , others opinions point out things I don't realize
The main characters are fucking demons. Hell, Jin turns into an angel and fights his dad on a damn asteroid. Tekken is not some grounded martial arts game like people are pretending
@@someclevername8167 People forget that the main characters heat smash is him doing a demon-powered air combo that ends in a giant pillar explosion
@@TrueReverse74 Yeah I personally wanted someone who fought more grounded, (monkey man, IP man, Liu kang) but also lowkey wanted scorpion/sub zero from MK who are also a bit more fantasy so there isn't really anyone "perfect" that would fit. To each their own!
watching this live with my friends was hype af
Cuz they played ff16 and liked him.
🔥🔥🔥
@@Chlorindo not sure what you are saying. But if your saying it was hype cause we've played finalfantasy then you are wrong, me nor my friends have ever played any of the final fantasy games
This was a welcome surprise for sure. I was hoping for Tifa like most people, but they did an amazing job with Clive.
I recently picked up ff16 on steam sale and I’m really enjoying it. Clive is a really cool character and I think he is a good pick.
Tifa was probably too expensive to license but maybe she’ll come in a future tekkenz
1:18 he looks like noctic on cr.. on steroid
Im glad im not in the minority on being happy Clive got in. Ff16 was my goty last year one of my favourites of all time, I still would've been happy if Tifa got picked but I'm pumped my goat got in instead!

The first thing pop up in my mind was Miguel and Noctis merge into one
This was probably in the works for a very long time. Just like ghost face was definitely only in mk1 cause these was supposed to be a movie. It’s not about fan service; it’s about money from other studios and IP owners. Clive isn’t a bad character; it’s just not what people asked for and they know it
The only annoying thing about this is seeing countless people whine and complain about a character I don’t know about (Clive) and then all of them expecting Tifa despite us getting no real hints that we were gonna get her.
I personally would’ve preferred a different video game guest character that isn’t from Final Fantasy at all but it is what it is 🤷
First real criticism I’ve seen that wasn’t complaining hard just because they never played the game or don’t know who they are, respect 👊
Bro, ff rebirth came out after ff16. And ff16 sold like dookie. It makes no sense
@@666slateran666 Damn. It's like no body cares about what you think.
@@666slateran666 so what? Is that supposed to make me care or something? Still doesn’t suddenly mean the final character was gonna be Tifa from FF7 especially when they would likely put Cloud or Sephiroth first before Tifa if they did decide to put a FF7 character.
@RazuX5 yes because people love sword characters who use magic in their martial arts fighting game. If this was soul calibur I wouldn't be as confused as to why they added him. It's not like he's gonna sell more copies of ff16
It should've been Tifa, not Clive.
Looks like Namco doesn't like my money

@@filipkaradzic3824 That sentence doesn't mean what you think it means.
@@TrippingDaizy lmao this is sad but true
As someone who isn’t particularly interested in or familiar with final fantasy, Tifa would have 100% been a better choice to draw in interest to Tekken 8.
Tifa and the game she comes from has enough recognition throughout the internet that someone with no interest in the series has still heard of her.
I saw Clive and thought “ok, fantasy sword dude. Never heard of him” and didn’t think much more on it. Tifa in leagues more recognisable.
I get why he was chosen, promote the newest game and all that, but there is no doubt in my mind that Tifa would sell better and draw more people into the game.
Ifrit looks divine! Being a huge ff fan I absolutely loved Noctis in T7. Haven’t played ff16 yet but Clive also looks incredible, can’t wait to main him!
When the trailer started, i thought "oh ff 14 stuff." When jin appeared, i wished it was ff14 free fire fortnite ANYTHING but tekken, out of every character, every franchise and every other tekken character they chose a character no one asked that is a fusion between noctis and victor, if people wanted the action to slow down they are doubling down the action, we will not have tekken 9 at this rate
He's from ff16 also calm down bro
@Crustyballchild no, i know who he is, but like a majority of tekken players i didn't play that game bc i had better stuff to play
I agree another sword guy in tekken makes me sad asf man I am not looking forward to dealing with this bullshit.

What does it mean? I'll tell you what it means. It means Harada has a good relationship with whoever is in charge of final fantasy and it was easy cheap or free to get the use of one of their characters again. It also means that we will be seeing more guest characters in the future. Likely one per season And it's all a good thing if you ask me.
This is the most retarted decision of Tekken ever, he should obviously be a soul calibur character. I’ve been playing tekken since tekken 1 and this is just ruining the balance of the game. He doesn’t belong here, period. What’s next Dante from DMC? Or Kratos from GoW?
Brother I hear. I started on tekken 2 and 3 in 1997. Going back and forth. Tekken had gradually upgrades on 4 - 6...and the tags...but 7 went left field and this is just blasphemy.
Im done with tekken...
@@betrapvideos I’m with you bro, tekken 6 was my favorite tekken game ever of all the canon games, tekken 3 is my most nostalgic.

@@Bizzoizzotekken 1 you say? Yeah ask yourself for 1 sword guy(yoshimitsu), fcking girls with chainsaw, kangoroo can fight, 1 little creature shoot fireball, a fcking gunslinger and dont forget victor, fcking devil and angel in the game.

You dont see alisa in top tournament except 8 right? Even yoshimitsu not even in tournament AT ALL except 8.
Keep that delusional for yourself.
He has normal range guys... He's flashy but if you look at the gameplay it's very clear that he has no long range move that he can just rip that isn't linear or its a high. How do you know he's broken?? You haven't played him. No one has. Did you know Yoshi has a sword? He's literally a soul Calibur character. Complain about him
@@Hypanozhaha bro with all the due respect, that’s a lazy argument, I was expecting someone mentioning ”Yoshi have a sword”
Not too be rude, but you sound like a new gen tekken fan. If you actually knew tekken, you would know that Yoshi didn’t almost have any ”sword based moves” until like tekken 5-6, his moves were 95% ’swordless’ and the moves when he did use the sword, the moves didn’t have any range at all.
And first of all he is legacy, he is Haradas nr 1 favorite character, that’s why Harada invested so much on him. He’s a OG tekken character and was GUEST character on soul calibur since soul calibur 2 because of his popularity. And even in tekken 8, NOW he is very sword based, but that is manageable.
Ofc, we can see on Monday ’how the characters is, but if Noctis was a issue in tekken 7 why wouldn’t Clive be in tekken 8?
I hate stupid characters like Victor, but I am still okay with him compared to this BS FF character
Vergil would've been better than any FF characters
Me being a big final fantasy fan, and me that played BOTH and BEAT final fantasy 7 and 16, I'm actually happy and okay with this, i did want tifa in tekken 8 ngl because she just fits the tekken them perfectly like a glove, I always seem Clive as more of a soul caliber guest character if anything which is not a bad thing, BUT THIS MAN IS IN TEKKEN 8 IS INSANE! AND I'M HERE FOR IT, but I'm not too sad or butthurt that tifa didn't make it in but yes it does suck, either way I'm happy with this and will be mainjng Clive with Jin, and Jun, hopefully tifa comes through in season 2 or maybe 3, but we'll see what the future of tekken holds for these characters.
Players asking for any other character than Clive? Yeah sure let's add another cheesy ahh mf with non-parryable attacks, shitton of stances and bullshit moves. Let's add a guy more than half of the players won't even recognise, that's exactly what players needed, more cheese.
but the character isn't out uncle why don't you just wait to see how it plays?
Ok but I'm actually kinda hype this guy looks so cool

I’m hyped for Clive, I also love how well they fit the source material into the game
3:30 Final Fantasy franchise fans doesn't work like that unfortunately, they could love 1 title, and hate the other. FF7 and FF16 is a good example actually, one is loved by majority, and the other receive a lot of backlash
That means we wont get Tifa anymore unless they go out of their way to make space for another ff character
Which they won't, this is the worst possible choice even more disappointing than noctis was cause it means we are never getting cloud or Tifa, they should have just chosen a different franchise instead of doing this AGAIN
Re: DLC reveals - Pretty sure those claiming that Tekken will have to change how they release characters on Steam is misunderstanding the wording. I am of the opinion that telling everybody who the characters are going to be upfront is more consumer-friendly in the long run. Doing it the way Tekken is doing it generates more hype but the former is more consumer-friendly because it allows you to make an informed purchase. I think as time goes on, more people will move towards the former model but for now Tekken does seem to be generating a lot of character hype so we'll see.
When I tell you I fucking SCREAMED when I saw him
We already expected a Guest and FF character but I really wanted Kiryu or Mashima even if I know it wont happen
I'm wondering if getting Tifa being a FFVII character might make her more expensive/difficult to aquire? That aside, I personally think Clive looks pretty dope and I'll most certainly try him out. 😁
That’s probably one of the reasons why FFVII characters are really expensive I mean Nintendo barely got cloud back for sbu
Welcome to the King of Iron Sword Tournament.
no way you made this, this quickly lmfao
It means i uninstall Tekken 8 and never look back.
The reason I would love Clive in Tekken 8 is because I hope I can get his hair as customization for my main LOL
As someone who really liked FF16 and prefers Clive over Tifa outside of Tekken any day of the week, I would still prefer having a non sword character in Tekken.
I was hoping it would be him all week. I'm SO fucking happy Clive made it in!
Hell yeah
personally, i am annoyed... The game is not in a state where you can add a noctis 2.0 and have online be enjoyable... I already play a character who doesn't have the frames to get in at times,and now i can't parry his blade? it is recipe for me to skip EVERY SINGLE clive matchup. Cause A) im not getting him so I can't lab him B) i don't have a fun time with my main as is AND C) I CAN"T LAB HIM!!!
I don't know what tekken is thinking, yet i have to wait tilll Virtua fighter comes out to scratch the 3d fighter itch....
I’m so fucking happy. Would’ve been happy regardless of Clive or Tifa. I’m excited that it’s Clive, since he’s the latest FF main character and now I have another reason to enjoy him outside FF16.
This is disappointing considering how well Harada and them were listening to the community on feedback for T8. End of the day it’s their game and we just play it
What a horrible way to give the community a kick in the ass.... For my part I will not buy the dlc
Wow a sword character 😕
I've played through FF16 and Rebirth and can't understand why they'd go with Clive over Tifa.
It's not an 'I like this character' thing, it's Tifa's style lining up super-well with a fighting game.
The steam update is only revealing the contents of the season pass (e.g. maps, characters, costumes) in their designated time frames. So they would have to reveal the month it is released but not the character
3:30 this is not true for a large portion of tifa fans. People have been requesting her for a long time and to get two FF characters who use swords instead of who they truly want is not something to be happy about in peoples eyes. I like his character and his inclusion, but I’m too caught up on what could have been
This shit is so ass
I like Tifa more which is fitting and Bamco Tekken division can afford her like bruh.
Edit: nvm they cant afford her cuz its too big
Cry harder
Im done, im going to Virtua. Go to Soul Calibur, Claive
Would’ve been so dope if they added Baki or Yujiro Hanma as a guest character since street fighter fumbled the bag with it
Or even Akira Yuki to build hype for the new VF
2:09
Yes, the game is pretty close to being the perfect fighting game, I've been saying this since Tekken 7, It's working its way up.
NEVER BEEN SO HYPED NOCTIS FANS ARE WINNING
I didn't know which character I would want as a guest. That's why I'm relatively neutral about this reveal. I'm still curious to see how Clive performs. I would definitely like Lei Wulong as the next original character.
Man your boring
Huge let down & epic fail - especially with the Virtua Fighter announcement. I’ve been a diehard Tekken loyalist since the very first game, but it’s just gone beyond stupid now with all the anime stuff… I’ll be jumping ship to Virtua Fighter
Literally everyone should be doing this. It isn't even about clive, the game is just pure garbage, scrubby and boring to watch at all levels. TWT was a snoozefest and will continue to be so long as heat is the main mechanic.
There's literally NO reason for anyone to be playing Tekken 8 when Virtua Fighter is just around the corner. With the amount of eSports attention its getting I hope it completely dwarfs TWT and EVO and other large tournametns start excluding Tekken from their lineups.
Bye old scrub
Id have been so happy if they added yuta, he could play mostly using his katana and then call on rika for attacks and heatsmash like raven does with his clones
If tekken 7 season 2 is anything to go off of, I think we will see mostly returning characters. Anna is already confirmed, and Armor king is basically guaranteed to be in there as well. My personal prediction is we will also see Miguel and Fakhumram, along with another guest character, depending on the release date of the new virtua fighter, it might me someone from their roster, but i doubt it, they will probably have them later down the line. SF6 is also a very unlikely game to have a guest character from, and I'd rather see someone from blazeblue or guilty gear make their way into tekken (no 2d characters pls)
I'm happy with Clive his gameplay looks so cool using torgal in various attacks and all the eikons
FF16 is not the new game. Final Fantasy 7 rebirth is, and the PC version was just announced. But yeah, another teleporting sword guy instead of a martial artist it is
Yeah I meant the newest mainline game
Since when does this game is about all about martial arts my guy come on think man Lars, Claudio, Yoshi, Raven, Alisa, Eliza, Miguel, gigas, Jack, Lili, especially Mishima aren't doing a form of martial arts you can't be this oblivious 💀
I agree the game has been loding it on the actual martial arts but after so many characters you gotta find ways to keep it fresh and come up with new styles but if we could at least keep it to hand to hand combat that would be great... although im not against the zoning pistol shots or a knife here and there.. @@shenelljohnson74

Tifa just made sense and wouldn’t feel out of place in the game. Victor filled the gap for Noctis-like gameplay we didn’t need Noctis 2.0
I had my hunch that it was going to be Clive since for the very first FF character in the franchise they went with Noctis which is arguably one of the least popular FF protagonist (not his fault tho). I wanted Tifa but I cant complain, one thing this does confirm tho is that this will more than likely turn into a tradition where every Tekken game will have a FF character and this does keep the Tifa slot alive for a next game. They only thing stopping Tifa being in Tekken is just money, Tifa (or any FF7 character) will be very expensive to add to the game so more than likely when Namco feels like Tekken is making enough money to justify her we will finally have her in Tekken and rejoice. After all not even god damn Nintendo was rich enough to not have a serious meeting regarding Cloud in Smash Ultimate. Bro was so expensive that the game almost missed its “Everyone is Here” legendary status.
Final fantasy 16 is easily one of my favourite games of all time and this reveal was Super hype for me but if you ask me between him or Tifa in a Tekken game I will choose Tifa because she fits the tekken formula extremely well and is a martial artist which is mainly what Tekken represents. Although I won’t complain because he looks too good
Man I’m good off this shit bro. Now I can see they’ve clearly got a fucking type regarding FF characters .
Bro you got this out QUICK
Tifa will never be in Tekken 8 😭
He looks cool, but if your fighting that, it looks cancer, whether or not hes strong. Sometimes you dont need to use the entire budget to make a character. I feel like it will be visually overwhelming to fight.
For returning im really hoping for either bob or julie to return. Both of them were fun to lab around with.
Miguel is back 😂
I guess that explains why he was fighting Jin 🤣
I really wanted Tifa but Clive is ok as well. It feels like they went half way with a Final Fantasy rep
Everyone wanted tifa right? Who the f is clive?! I will never purchase a yearly character pass again. My disappointment is immeasurable
YEAHHHH BABY THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Who asked for this guy??
Same people who didn't asked for Noctis but ended up enjoying the character.
Harada 😂
3:33 nope, big nope. Unfortunately as much as i wish this was the case. FF 7 has become so big that its its own franchise.
I like to say there are FF fans and there are FF7 fans, two completely different types of people. I do get the disappointment as i was also perplexed when he was revealed but upon watching the extended trailer i had no doubt clive was the better choice.
Roy for Tekken 8 is pretty dope tbh
It means I'm out.
Bye-bye you probably struggling rank and complain and can't even have fun without crying
@@shenelljohnson74 Your comment is a reminder of why I don't like interacting in English videos. Everything related to dissatisfaction with the direction Tekken has taken in recent years is received as "Skill Issue", assumptions based on nothing. I could say a lot of things about my rank, but whatever, think what you want.
@@Raidou-x7f why is everything has to crater to you old heads why does it have to crater to you why can't new people new players get a satisfaction out of this game that you're playing You've been playing this game for like I don't know 20 25 years.. probably more why can't newcomers come into the world of Tekken, but it has to set a boundary to everything you seen on that screen any pro player veteran player including me and you can get around it, when noctis shown up he was sitting on C tier but everybody loves him regardless, but as soon as a flashy character comes in which literally everyone in Tekken is super flashy It's a problem why can't you let the past be the past, if Tekken stayed the same You do realize this game will take 25 years 30 years to come out just like VF right another dead 3D game didn't want to upset his hardcore fanbase when new comers can careless about your nostalgia they can't feel on how you guys feel everyone has a different mindset everyone has different tastes they're not going to feel like the exact same way that you have and that's your problem You're too close minded to expand and share and that's where you lead to a Doom franchise All because of pride and selfishness
Not my original comment, but I want to re-post it because it's so true:
Fans: "Baki or Tifa would be perfect for Tekken! They're realistic fighters who fit the vibe perfectly!"
Harada: "Hmm, how about a sword-wielding, demon/god-summoning magician instead?"
I'm vastly disappointed. Even setting aside the fact that I really wanted Tifa in this game... this guy looks way overtuned. Why should he appear more badass and mighty than Kazuya or Jin? (Even though I don't like either of them.)
I just don't get it. This game is becoming a joke.
It means Harada a H03 for how he just pimp slapped his community 😂. Fans asked for Tifa and this dude gave the LTG signature. “YOUR LIFE MEANS NOTHING, YOU SERVE ZERO PURPOSE”
Tekken 8 means nothing. It serves zero purpose. Uninstall
Virtua Fighter is the future.
