Margrace is a character shrouded in mystery at the game’s earlier stages. This hidden appearance of the character makes the identity unknown, which is later revealed in the game when the plot progresses. His identity is linked to the game’s main storyline, so this guide will be full of spoilers.
Key Takeaways
- Margrace is an important yet unknown character in Final Fantasy 16.
- Later, his identity is revealed to be Joshua as he survived.
- Joshua and Clive are reunited when facing off against Typhon.
- Margrace later travels the world to find information about the Blight.
Spoiler Warning!
Who Is Margrace?
Margrace’s real identity is Joshua Rosfield, the dominant of the fire eikon phoenix. Yes, Margrace is the same Joshua, Clives’ younger brother. He is known to be dead during the attack on Phoenix Gate by the Sanbrequois attack.
The plot takes a twist when it is later learned that Joshua did survive that attack and later traveled to the lands of Valisthea with his hidden identity of Margrace, the hooded figure.
Joshua survives the attack as he is the eikon of Phoenix. He uses the Restorative powers of the phoenix to stay that night and progresses further under the hidden identity of Margrace. However, Clive remains suspicious of Margrace and links his brother’s death to Him.
Furthermore, the rumors of Margrace being able to use the eikonic powers of fire intrigues Clive to find out the involvement of this hooded figure in the disaster that ruined his family.
Afterward, Joshua starts his journey to unravel the mystery behind Blight’s existence, which sucks the life force out of everything it touches and leaves the corrupted soil behind. Due to the love Joshua has for his older brother Clive, he also works to discover why his brother can absorb Eikonic powers from others.
Clive Chases Margrace
After miraculously surviving the Night of the Flames at the Phoenix Gate, Joshua chooses to stay unnoticed as he starts on a quest with two critical objectives. First, he is determined to learn the truth about his brother Clive’s capacity to absorb Eikonic energies.
Second, Joshua is trying to determine what is causing the Blight, a deadly phenomenon ravaging once-thriving countries. To keep a low profile during his voyage, he wears Lord Margrave’s trademark hoodie, blending into the Final Fantasy 16 world.
In the meantime, Clive takes a brave stand against his Sanbrequois commander, motivated by the need to save his cherished childhood friend, Jill Warrick, who serves as Shiva’s Dominant. Cid, an influential leader directing a freedom movement, becomes their savior.
Cid’s efforts aim to provide a haven for repressed Dominants and Bearers, people with remarkable magical skills who do not rely on crystals. Clive’s journey intersects with Cid’s, causing them to look into the legends regarding Margrace, a powerful Fire Dominant. Clive becomes desperate to find and face Margrace, whom he blames for Joshua’s claimed death.
In my opinion, the mystery behind Margrave unravels to be very important in the main lore. The reunion of Clive and Joshua is a good moment for the players to enjoy.
At the same time, Clive undergoes character growth after discovering the story of Margrace. How his younger brother survived, and how he gets to know that he is the dominant of Ifrit the Eikon that nearly killed his brother.
