In a style reminiscent of Final Fantasy XV, Final Fantasy XVI offers an action RPG experience. You’ll assume command of the main character, Clive Rosfield, engaging in battles with both physical melee and magical spells. Throughout your journey, you’ll be joined by AI-controlled allies, though the members of your party may change as the story unfolds. One consistent member of your team is Torgal, Clive’s loyal dog, who can be ordered to launch attacks or heal you when needed.

In this game, you journey through a vast, explorable landscape on Chocobos, moving from one location to another. You engage in battles with diverse adversaries such as Eikons – formidable bosses that, when defeated, can be summoned for assistance during combat. The game world also contains dungeons and towns where you can undertake quests or discover hidden treasures. Unlike other games, there are no random encounters here; instead, combat begins the moment you enter an area near an enemy.

As they battle against Eikons, Clive acquires new talents and skills. Similarly, players can enhance their weapons and gear, which in turn boosts their attributes.

In contrast to past games in the series, Final Fantasy XVI features a less complex role-playing system, which was a departure from the norm. At its launch, it was criticized for having side quests that were repetitive and required too much grinding. However, despite these criticisms, the game garnered a solid 87 score on Metacritic. Despite this positive reception, Square Enix reported that the game’s financial performance did not meet their projected expectations.

Final Fantasy XVI Story

In the world of Valisthea, we delve into the tale of Clive Rosfield, the eldest son from the ruling family of Rosaria. His tranquil life takes an unexpected turn when the Holy Empire of Sanbreque launches an attack, sparking war. Tragically, this invasion is orchestrated by none other than their own mother, Duchess Anabella, and results in the demise of Duke Elwin, their father.

13 years following Rosaria’s defeat, Clive found himself enslaved within the Sanbreque Empire, compelled to serve as a soldier. The narrative then resumes, with Clive undertaking a mission for the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, which is now engaged in conflict with the Dhalmekian Republic (a third nation on the continent of Storm), the Waloed Kingdom (located on the continent of Ash), and the Crystalline Dominion, a politically and geographically significant region situated between these two continents.
