The scenario contains endgame spoilers. Please be aware of this.

Clive's victory over Ultima ensured that mothercrystals, magic, and the blight were no more.

While the game is open-ended, I'm on the camp of Team Clive Lives. There's just far too much foreshadowing for him to just perish, you know?

That being said, I don't think it'll be an easy ride for him. The scenario here is how I see how things happen post-game. Joshua and Dion are gone and Valistheia in a complete mess. Clive has al
