Clive does criticize the Ultima’s absence as a factor into how humanity turned out the way they did. At least the main factor of humans gaining wills.

It’s also supposed to show Barnabas follows ultima for what ultima can provide more so than what the ultima themselves are. Ultima(with mythos and humanity) can manage the blight in Barnabas’s eyes.

Tbf I see that with the game as a whole, taking what characters state as fact. Despite the game blatantly playing multiple angles.

FFXVI highlights free will from a human perspective for a reason. We are supposed to compare our free will to that of the past generations, to the goblins and animals of the world, to the images of gods we create, to the actual gods and reality that we live in. And to our shadow selves.

I love Clive’s response to Barnabas because Clive himself agrees that free will may be a cage in and of itself. But Clive argues that because humankind knows that, they always a have a choice to go against the chain. Which to Clive, is more free than the puppet who never challenges the chain.

I like how Clive is the one who struggles with his emotions while Jill is the one that reels him in during the dominion. I don’t think a lot of people see how she is arguably more controlled in the 3rd act than Clive is. That and how she contrasts Barnabas. Barnabas eerily takes Cid’s spot.

I always like seeing other peoples takes because it makes me reevaluate why I took the story the way I did.

But it’s about her deserving a better life which is why the focus changes from dying to living on one’s terms? Besides that every dominant is given similar treatment which is why Barnabas points out no matter how much he severs, humans only seek their fates more.

I find how it contradicts his earlier statement that only the almighty can change their nature through force of will alone, interesting. In the context of the Nadia Narrow, Barnabas means the almighty cannot stop the blight… unless the almighty can use the vessel mythos.
