The world of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 16 can seem a bit dark at times; what with the rampant slavery, death, and war. So, it's a good thing that protagonist Clive is not alone on his journey for revenge. From his liberator Cid, to his love interest Jill, Clive has some of the best party members anyone could ask for. But there is one who spends more time in the party than all the others; Torgal.
Companions since childhood, Clive and Torgal are truly a dynamic duo both in and out of combat. Whether you need healing, want to extend a combo, or just want so🎉meone to pet, Torgal is always there. Therefore, it is only appropriate to recount the finest moments of the finest hound.
Spoilers Ahead
8 ♛ 🃏 Going Hunting
When it comes to wolves, there's one thing they are known for, and that is hunting. So it's no wonder the theme is a perfect fit for a side quest staring Torgal. Some way into the game, it is determined that Torgal needs to start eating new kinds of food in order to sustain himself and his newfound powers.
So it's up to you to procure the new food for your dog. And what is a better target than an elder antelope? While the narrative of said quest is not much deeper than that, the context for this kill quest fuels you with motivation. Not to mention hunting with a canine companion is such a classic concept
.
7 Reunited
After the cold open and the subsequent flashback section, it was a nice break in 💧the tension to be reunited with both Torgal and Jill. Keep in mind that Clive has not seen either of his old friends since the events that took place 13 years ago. He was justified in believing that they were both likely dead after the fall of Rosaria♛.
This reunion and the meeting with Cid are when life begins to turn around for Clive. After years of being forced to kill to survive, he finally gets his second chance. For the player, this is when the gaꦇme truly begins and that moment overlaps perfectly w🌃ith Clive being reunited with his best friends.
6 🎉 Benedikta Fight ဣ
From the beginning of the game, it was made clear just how powerf⛎ul the Dominants are; with each one havin♋g the strength of thousands of soldiers. So when the time came for Clive to fight one for the first time it was of course going to be an uphill battle. In fact, after Benedikta incapacitates Cid, Clive is quickly put on the back foot.
That is until a critical moment when Torgal attacks Benedikta and prevents her from killing Clive. This action showcases Torgal’s loyalty and fearlessness. This is the moment you realize that Torgal will do anything for you, even risk his own life fighting someone as powerful as a Dominant. This makes Benedikta’s counterattꦰack on Torgal all the more disrespectful and fires you up to defend your hound the same way 💖he defended you.
5 ꩵ Facing Down Ultima
S✅o yeah, Torgal is pretty brave. The only thing that could make him cooler is if he faced down a god. Oh wait, that’s exactly൩ what he does the first time Ultima reveals himself to Clive. Since Clive is unable to defend himself at the moment, Torgal does not hesitate to get between his master and the new foe.
At this time Ultima is talking about making Clive his vessel. Cid, Jill, and Cl🐠ive are all out of commission, so it is down to Torgal to face this unknown threat. And although his glo💙ry is ultimately stolen by Joshua who appears to seal Ultima. It doesn’t change the fact that he was willing to do whatever it took to save Clive.
4 Puppy Torgal 🌌
Of course, there was no way this list was not going to include at least one mention of Torgal as a puppy. During the flashback, seeing this little guy is enough to melt your heart. We also get to see some of his more mischievo🐈us side while his relationships with Clive, Joshua, and Jill are presented.
He may not be able to fight at the moment, but I believe Clive’s father, Elwin, said i⭕t best when he said that he would make a fine hound one day. If he had survived, he would be just as proud of him as he would be of his sons.
3 Recognizing Ambrosia ꧒
Another impressive aspect of Torgal is how intelligent he is, not only do his senses serve as a way for you to find your way when lost, but he is also able to remember things better than Clive sometimes. This is made apparent during the side quest 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The White-Winged Wonder.
This side quest sees Clive helping a herd of wild chocobo when they are attacked by bandits. These chocoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚbo themselves often helped people who were attacked on the road. However, unbeknownst to Clive, the leader of that herd is his old stead from back in Rossaria, Ambrosia. Torgal is the first one to acknowledge Ambrosia and without him, it was unlikely that Clive would have noticed the scar on her eye and taken her back with him. This ups the number of loyal animal companions to two.
2 😼 🌼Transformation
It's clear at this point that Torgal and Clive are quite the duo, but one other detail that makes Torgal so endearing is that he is not a one-person kind of dog. He is just as, if not closer to Jill than he is to Clive. They were inseparable when they were young and this dedication is on full display after Jill is captured and almost executed by Hugo Kupka.
Clive himself was unable to save Jill himself at the time, so it was up to Torgal to come in clutch and save the girl. At this moment Torgal transforms into a new form with powerful magic abilities. After his saving the day, it is discovered that Torgal is actually a rare breed of frost wolf from the Northern Territories and that one of these wolves, Fenrir, was once the royal hound of the queen of that region. Said queen is thought to have been a Dominant of Shiva which parallels Jill and Torgal’s relationship. This transformation also increases Torgal's in-game battle prowess as a nice bonus.
1 🐷 Fina🍌l Side Quest
If there is one thing to love about dogs, it's how much they love us. And the amount of love Torgal feels for Clive and Jill is so unimaginable that the full scope was unable to fit into the game. Even more impressive than the actions we see, it is what we don’t see that truly defines a person, or in this case, a wolf.
During the final chapters of the game, each important side character gets their own side quest centered around them. These are by far the best side quests in the game as they offer far more than a quick fetch quest. They have proper cutscenes and offer some of the best char꧃acter interactions seen in the whole game.
Now, we wouldn’t be talking about them if one of them did not star Torgal. More Than Words is a contender for the best side quest in the game. Here we see Clive and Torgal returning to Clive’s childhood hideaway where it is revealed that during all the years that Torgal and Clive were separated, Torgal never once stopped looking for his old owners and all the keepsakes in the hideaway are proof of his conviction. It's enough to make you want to cry and find your own dog to hug. This moment cements Torgal as the best boy and most importantly the finest hound.
