If you pre-ordered Final Fantasy 16 before its release, you can get a bonus weapon that has a history in the series. Let’s find out how to claim, and use this special sword in the game.
Firstly, to access the pre-ordered bonuses, players have to go to the menu, select systems, and then choose the last tab that contains the rewards. There, they can claim their special swords, and other items that come with their edition of the game. Interestingly, there is a particular sword that has made its appearance in previous Final Fantasy games as well.
In the widely acclaimed MMO Final Fantasy 14, specifically during the Shadowbringer expansion, players encounter a boss known as the Final Fantasy 1 Warrior of Light, wielding a sword called Braveheart. This boss can be encountered in the Post-Shadowbringer quests, particularly during the extreme boss fight called ‘Seat of Sacrifice’.
This recent discovery received a lot of attention from fans of the game, who commented on the similarity and the design of the sword. Some users also expressed their hope that the sword would be upgradeable, and not become obsolete after a certain level. Others wondered how to get the sword, and learned that it was a pre-order bonus for any edition of the game.
The Braveheart sword is one of the two special swords that are available as pre-order or collector’s edition bonuses for Final Fantasy 16. The other one is the Blood Sword, which is based on Firion’s weapon from Final Fantasy 2. Both swords have unique abilities and effects that can enhance the combat experience.
Please note that Pre-order bonuses for Final Fantasy 16 can only be claimed once players reach the main story mission titled “A Chance Encounter.” Players who have already completed the Final Fantasy 16 demo would have already reached this point, but for those who haven’t, it typically takes around two hours of playtime to get there.
Final Fantasy 16 is the latest instalment in the popular RPG series, and it features a dark and mature story set in a medieval fantasy world. The game follows Clive Rosfield, a young knight who can wield the power of Eikons, powerful summons that can shape the fate of nations.
