AMonster Hunter Wildsplayer has recently recreatedFinal Fantasy 16’s protagonist Clive Rosfield in the upcoming game, sharing the amazing result with the community. Despite having wildly distinct aesthetics and stories, bothMonster Hunter WildsandFinal Fantasy 16are action JRPGs, and this gamer united both games with this unofficial crossover.
WhileFinal Fantasy 16was originally released for PlayStation 5 in 2023 and more recently for PC,Monster Hunter Wildsis slated to come out in February 2025. Despite still being months away from its release, however,Monster Hunter Wildshas been pretty popular lately, as the title recently started its open beta, which lasted until November 4.
During the open beta,Monster Hunter Wildsplayers were free to create both their main characters and the pet companion Palico, and a gamer called Aloiysus recreated Clive fromFinal Fantasy 16. In Aloiysus’ post on Reddit, it’s possible to see a few pictures of their Clive, which has a strong similarity to the protagonist ofFF16. The gamer was also kind enough to share the exact parameters used by them in the character creator. This is great news forMonster Hunter Wildsplayers interested in replicating Aloiysus’ feat, as the game has a pretty in-depth character creation system, and it would be hard to recreate the model without instructions.

Luckily, any gamer who created their Hunter inMonster Hunter Wilds’open beta will be able to use the same character model in the game’s final version. A few days ago, Capcom revealed that both theHunter and Palico can be imported toMonster Hunter Wilds' full game.
While theMonster Hunter Wildsopen beta is already finished, it was impressively successful.

While some players criticized the beta’s lack of polish and some aspects of the game’s combat, most of the reception of the game has been positive.
