Square Enix regularly shares clips from Final Fantasy XVI showcasing gameplay, and the latest features Clive facing a Morbol and a Knight of the Blinding Dawn. These latest segments seem to show his period of life when he was acting as the First Shield of Rosaria. As he wasn’t the Dominant of Phoenix, he took on that role to support and protect his brother Joshua. While the Knight of the Blinding Dawn is a new foe, the Morbol is a recurring Final Fantasy enemy that also shows up in titles under the name Malboro.
We start by seeing Clive face the Morbol in Final Fantasy XVI. He doesn’t have any Eikons yet, so he’s using only skills available to him. On the left, we can see he has four Potions and three High Potions for healing, as well as a Stoneskin Tonic. (In past Final Fantasy games, Stoneskin can increase defense.) He also has access to an attack, a fire spell, a Phoenix Shift, and a jump. When the Knight of the Blinding Dawn fight begins, we can see that holding R2 changes the Attack option to the Rising Flames ability, which Clive uses as the video draws to a close.
クライヴはロザリア公国第一王子として生まれるも、フェニックスのドミナントとして覚醒せず、その役目は弟のジョシュアが担うことになった。鍛錬を積み、ナイトの称号を得たクライヴは、正式にジョシュアの盾となる。

As a reminder, we also recently learned that Final Fantasy XVI would be on the June 2023 cover of Game Informer magazine. Square Enix shared the art, which shows Clive and Ifrit on the front and Joshua and Phoenix on the back.
