▍Final Fantasy XVI Gameplay Details

■ Titanic Clashes

When rival Dominants come head to head, epic battles between their Eikons ensue!

■ Eikonic Action

Clive utilizes the powers of multiple Eikons in a breakneck battle!

■ Story Focus Mode

Myriad accessibility options allow anyone to experience Clive’s adventure, from seasoned action gamers to those who just want to enjoy the story.

This mode is recommended for players who want to thoroughly enjoy the story. With simple controls, you can activate summon abilities and automatically dodge enemy attacks, allowing anyone to experience the exhilarating battles while concentrating on the story.

Of course, there is also an “Action Focus” mode where all controls are performed by the player themselves. Both modes can be switched at any time according to your preference.

■ Abilities

Increase Your Abilities

From Strength to Strength. Expand and enhance Clive’s abilities to suit your fighting style.

A plethora of powerful swordplay techniques and Eikonic abilities lie within Clive’s remit, and it is up to you to decide which ones you wish to learn or upgrade. If you’re having trouble choosing, upgrades can be unlocked automatically.

Buddy

A Hero’s Best Friend. Trusty Torgal takes to the field.

Clive’s faithful hound Torgal is never far from his side, and when enemies approach, he does not quail. Not only can Torgal attack enemies, but he can also mend Clive’s wounds, and if Clive times his orders right, the two can prove a devastating duo.

Party

The More the Merrier. Because sometimes, fighting fate is more than a one-man job.

At certain points in his adventure, Clive will be joined by certain stalwart allies who will fight alongside him—the composition of his party changes as the story develops. Unlike Torgal, these party members do not take orders directly from the player but fight as they see fit.
