Final Fantasy 16 has revealed the name of the protagonist Clive’s Chocobo. The announcement comes a day before the game’s presentation during the PlayStation State of Play.
The upcoming State of Play will be a dedicated 20-minute stream featuring Final Fantasy 16 gameplay. Those interested in watching can tune in on PlayStation’s official YouTube or Twitter accounts on April 13 at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET. During the previews, fans expect more footage of the Square Enix title’s combat system and possibly additional information about its story.
Before Final Fantasy 16 kicks off the State of Play, the game declared the name of Clive Rosfield’s Chocobo. A Chocobo is a recurring animal throughout the JRPG series, first appearing in Final Fantasy II. Here’s a quick preview of the protagonist’s bird companion.

Previously, Square Enix gave players a first look at the world of Valisthea. The Final Fantasy 16 region – located between the two continents of Ash and Storm – takes inspiration from medieval Europe. The short video highlighted Valisthea’s impressive landscapes while following Clive through jungles and deserts.
Currently, Final Fantasy 16 is on track to be Square Enix’s most significant release of 2023. While the JRPG utilizes action-oriented combat, unlike the series’ turn-based entries, Final Fantasy fans are eager to discover how FFXVI measures up to its worthy predecessor.
