You can certainly see some similarities between the styles, and as it turns out, this comparison was apt given the that Square Enix later confirmed that Devil May Cry 5 designer Ryota Suzuki is working as combat director on Final Fantasy 16 (opens in new tab).
After a gameplay trailer dropped in 2020,a video was posted on YouTube soon after that drew parallels to the combat in Devil May Cry 5. The combat in Final Fantasy 16 will be action-orientated rather than turn-based, with protagonist Clive executing swift moves against foes in response to our inputs. Final Fantasy 16 will have "fully AI-driven" party members Described as "kind, gracious, and unassuming," Jill is a trusted figure to both the brothers. Jill, on the other hand, was taken from her homeland at a young age to become a ward of Rosaria in order to secure peace between two warring nations. Viewing himself as "bookish and frail", Joshua appears to wish he wasn't the one to inherit the role of Dominant with command over the Phoenix's flames. Now on a path to revenge, Clive is said to set out on a "dangerous road."įive years younger than Clive, Joshua deeply admires his older brother. After mastering the blade, Clive becomes First Shield of Rosaria before tragedy strikes "at the hands of a mysterious dark Eikon, Ifrit. As the firstborn, he was expected to inherit the Phoenix flames and become a Dominant, but it instead passed over to his younger brother Joshua. Clive is the firstborn son of Archduke of Rosaria.
The worldview of these Dominants varies from nation to nation, with some treated like royalty, while others are forced to become weapons of war.Ĭlive Rosfield has also been introduced as one of the leading characters along with Joshua Rosfield and Jill Warrick. These individuals are known as Dominants. Each Eikon resides within a single man or woman blessed with the ability to call them. In Final Fantasy 16, deadly creatures known as Eikons inhabit the world. Peace has started to falter with the spread of the Blight, which threatens to destroy the dominions. Using the Mothercrystals aether to conjure magicks that live comfortable, rich lives, many great powers have grown around each Mothercrystal.īut all is not well in Valisthea. Set in the land of Valisthea, the world is said to be "studded with Mothercrystals - glittering mountains of crystal that tower over the six realms around them, blessing them with aether." Over the generations, people have gone to the beacons to take advantage of the blessing they offer. Let’s just hope they did not just make the same mistake as they did with Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts 3, both of which were announced far too early in development.Square Enix launched an official website (opens in new tab) for Final Fantasy 16 that offers some insight into the upcoming installment's world and leading characters. He explains that while it may be a while before we’ll get our hands on the game, it’ll be worth the wait. Some good news, however, is that the game is being produced by Naoki Yoshida, who was responsible for turning the mess that was Final Fantasy XIV into the massively successful MMORPG it is now. Especially considering the Demon’s Souls fiasco. And while it’s unlikely that it’s not coming to PC, the confusion is anything but helpful. Even Gematsu’s Sal Romano could not get a straight answer from Square Enix itself. There is even some confusion about whether the game will come to PC at all, with the trailer on the live stream showing that it is, while the trailer on Square Enix’s own channel does not. Unfortunately, it looks like the game is set to be a timed exclusive on PlayStation 5. Rumors already suggested it was to be revealed today, and the Sony Showcase opened with a bang. It’s official: Final Fantasy XVI is coming, and it’s coming to PC.
