FINAL FANTASY XVI is a premium action RPG developed by Square Enix, marking the franchise's first fully-fledged foray into real-time combat. Set in a dark fantasy world, the story follows Clive Rosfield, the "First Shield of Rosaria," as he seeks revenge against the Dark Eikon Ifrit. Central to the narrative are the Eikons, massive entities wielded by Dominants, whose epic clashes shape the fate of the realm. This combination of character-driven storytelling and large-scale battles sets it apart in the series.

Eikonic Combat System

Clive wields the powers of multiple Eikons, allowing players to execute a variety of swordplay techniques and Eikonic abilities during fast-paced battles. Players can customize Clive’s abilities, choosing which to upgrade or unlocking them automatically for a guided progression. Two modes cater to different skill levels—Story-focused mode offers automated evasion and simplified combos, while Action-focused mode provides full manual control for a greater challenge.

Eikon Versus Eikon Battles

When Dominants confront each other, their Eikons engage in massive, cinematic battles. These clashes are a core gameplay feature, blending player-controlled mechanics with awe-inspiring set pieces that highlight the destructive power of these mythical beings.

Included Content

The base game includes the "Onion Sword," a bonus weapon redeemable early in the story. With its deep narrative, customizable combat, and massive Eikon battles, FINAL FANTASY XVI offers a comprehensive action RPG experience.
