The protagonist of the game is Clive Rosfield, Joshua's older brother who trains in "mastering the blade" after he isn't chosen by Phoenix as the Dominant. The teaser site also refers to him as "frail and bookish." An October 2020 Famitsu issue notes that Joshua "uses fire to heal wounds" and is called "The Phoenix" outright. There, all Dominants are treated like royalty. The young boy Joshua Rosfield, featured in the trailer, is the Dominant of Phoenix from the Grand Duchy of Rosaria. "In some nations, these Dominants are treated like royalty in admiration of this strength - in others, they are bound in fear of it, and forced to serve as weapons of war," the official teaser website reads. They each reside in a "Dominant," a single person blessed with the ability to wield their Eikon's power. It seems like the game begins right before the start of the war.Ĭlassic Final Fantasy summons appear in FF16 as "Eikons," a new term for these magical creatures that evoke the "Eidolens" of Final Fantasy IX. Leading up to the present, a Blight spreads across the land, causing tensions to rise and a war to break out. Over time, distinct nations developed: the Grand Duchy of Rosaria, the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, the Kingdom of Waloed, the Dhalmekian Republic, and the Iron Kingdom.
Instead, it will have an area-based design that infuses elements of the traditional open world experience.One of the kingdoms in 'Final Fantasy 16.' Square Enixįinal Fantasy 16 takes place in a new world called Valisthea where the Mothercrystals bless the people with aether, which allows them to conjure magicks. While an open world might appeal to some, Final Fantasy XVI is not going down that path.
As you know in previous Final Fantasies, it would always be that you’d have a summoner job who would use magic to summon forth the being from a different plane, but this time that Dominant actually summons forth the Eikon’s power by becoming the Eikon themselves. “So the person in which that Eikon dwells, we call the Dominant, and they can summon forth the Eikon’s unparalleled power by literally changing into it. That’s not all, in another interview with Press Start, Yoshida dropped a vital piece of information: The team is not looking to reuse systems, and each of the Eikon battles is going to be unique and different, including tweaking of the UI. You might experience something along the lines of a 3D shooter, whereas another encounter is more like a wrestling match. Yoshida also shared with Game Informer certain setups that may be possible during an Eikon versus Eikon fight in Final Fantasy XVI. These varied types of Eikon-driven action-oriented battles are one of the main selling points of, and we’ll be bringing more to you in the coming months about them.” “The battle type and scale are somewhat fluid, and change seamlessly in real-time depending on the battle… keeping things at maximum excitement while maintaining immersion. There will also be times where the player will control an Eikon in real-time, battling other Eikons.” Some will face Clive as fierce enemies, some will be friends and come to Clive’s aid. There is no one design concept that covers all of them. “Eikons appear in many different situations and iterations. These Eikons are spectacular beings, wielded by Dominants and possessing destructive power beyond the imagination, and you can expect the battles involving Eikons to be the same in Final Fantasy XVI. “Translating traditional summon abilities into player actions, and allowing for the real-time swapping and chaining of these abilities in battle has allowed us to create a system that not only looks great, but feels really good to play,” explained Yoshida.

You will, however, be only controlling Clive, with the AI doing the rest of the heavy lifting.
