With Final Fantasy 16's Clive making his way into Tekken 8, developers Yoshi-P and Hiroshi Takai were somewhat taken aback to see Clive showing off a little more skin than they're used to in the fighting game's character customization menu.
Following Clive's reveal as Tekken 8's fourth DLC character and first guest character, a special edition of Tekken Talk Live was broadcast during which Tekken devs Katsuhiro Harada and Michael Murray sat down with FF16 devs Yoshi-P and Hiroshi Takai to chat about Clive's inclusion. After covering the basics of Clive's moveset, the group took a look at some of his customization options, where the FF16 duo were in for a treat.
In a video subtitled and posted to Twitter by @aitaikimochi, we see Clive equipped with a bright-red fundoshi, a type of traditional Japanese undergarment, sparking some laughter from the guests. After the initial shock wears off, Yoshi-P turns to Takai to ask "As the director of FF16, you OK'd this?", to which Takai replies "Yeah I might have approved this," before joking that "I might have been out of it at the time."
Yoshi-P asks Takai if he approved this Tekken 8 costume for Clive, and @Harada_TEKKEN asked if he was mad omg lol@mykeryu confirms they did indeed get permission
