Final Fantasy 16 offers a flexible and accessible combat system for everyone. Choose your challenge, equip Timely accessories, and immerse yourself in the story, and the Eikon battles.
The developers aimed to make sure the new Final Fantasy (16) game is accessible to all types of players, including those who may not be accustomed to RPGs or combat-intensive games.
Combat in Final Fantasy XVI will primarily consist of fast-paced real-time battles, where players mainly control Clive. They will engage in swordplay, and use Eikon abilities to defeat various enemies.
Moreover, the game features exhilarating Eikon battles, where players take command of powerful Eikons fighting against other Eikons, resulting in jaw-dropping clashes.
For players who prefer a more relaxed experience, focusing on the story without facing intense challenges or becoming stuck on difficult bosses, FFXVI has been intentionally designed to provide assistance.
At the beginning of the game, players have the option to choose the easiest difficulty, reducing enemy strength and emphasizing the narrative. Additionally, players can select one of five Timely accessories to equip from the start:
The Ring of Timely Strikes facilitates executing combos effortlessly.
The Ring of Timely Evasion enables Clive to automatically dodge most incoming attacks.
The Ring of Timely Healing allows Clive to autonomously consume healing potions when necessary.
The Ring of Timely Focus slows down time when the player is about to be struck by an enemy’s attack.
The Ring of Timely Assistance automates the execution of pet commands.
These accessories serve to provide assistance in various ways, offering players additional support throughout their journey in the game.
So if you are concerned that the game might be too complex for you and you wish to immerse yourself in the story from beginning to end, rest assured that Final Fantasy 16 caters to that preference.
It is important to note that you have the flexibility to adjust the difficulty level at any point during your playthrough as well, allowing you to find a balance that suits your comfort. Additionally, the accessories mentioned earlier are available in both difficulty settings, providing assistance regardless of the chosen challenge level.
