In a JRPG like Square Enix's Final Fantasy 16, the characters are what make the story come alive. Among the many characters that the protagonist, Clive Rosfield, will cross paths with, none are more important than those he considers family. There is brother Joshua, who is the Dominant of Fire, Phoenix, and then there is Jill Warrick, childhood companion and, eventually, a love interest for the prince of Rosaria.
For a narrative that takes plenty of dark turns, naturally, players are going to wonder just what kind of fate awaits not just Clive but also the people that are close to him. In particular, there are many moments in Final Fantasy 16 that see Jill in precarious situations, and by the end, she could easily have perished in a number of ways. To answer all the doubts and questions players may have in their minds, this guide will reveal just what happens to Jill Warrick by the end of the game.
Who is Jill Warrick?
A main character in Final Fantasy 16, Jill Warrick, is introduced to players early on as a childhood friend of both Joshua and Clive. She was presented to Rosaria as a political hostage, but the Archduke of Rosaria never looked at his ward this way. Instead, Elwin Rosfield raised the young Jill as a sister to Clive and Joshua, allowing her to become a trusted ally.
As the story progresses and the characters enter adulthood, Clive Rosfield eventually reunites with Jill under very different circumstances. However, their feelings for each other never went away, and this reconciliation made it possible for the pair to find happiness again in a world of darkness. Eventually, Jill assumes the position of Clive's most trusted right hand, and the pair embarks on the quest to save the world of Valisthea with renewed conviction.
Does Jill Die in Final Fantasy 16?
For players who are not intending to spoil themselves when it comes to the ending and Jill's fate, this is the last chance to walk away before the answers are revealed.Unlike Aerith in Final Fantasy 7, Clive's dear companion, Jill, does not follow in the path of a beloved character being killed off for dramatic effect. Jill will make it all the way to the conclusion of the game, growing as a character in her own right and providing Clive with the right advice and a blossoming romance as the heroes try to save the day.
The Dominant of Shiva may have gifted her powers to Clive, but she remains healthy and part of the fight until the end, even managing to spend a couple of tender moments with the protagonist. Despite the obvious signs of love, the two never formally acknowledged this development in their relationship, only responding awkwardly to such conversations.
Final Fantasy 16 is exclusively available for PlayStation 5.
