Final Fantasy
New features for Final Fantasy XVI are on display to make this Final Fantasy title more inviting than before
June 22nd is quickly approaching us all with Final Fantasy XVI hitting the PS5 on that date still. There is still a lot to learn and figure out for the game and to keep hidden before Square Enix drops it out there on us. I am guessing, this is why we have been hit up with a variety of new video clips to give us a little more to go on for the game as well as show us what will be changing in this Final Fantasy title from the past ones. Beyond the shift to the Western look of fantasy over the Eastern one we have had for quite a while now. Nonetheless, here we go with seeing how summons, allies, and the story will be getting new gameplay to excite and entice us all.
Yes, you read that correctly, the story in Final Fantasy XVI will be getting a bit of a gameplay bit added to it all. There will be a way to focus more on that as we play with the combat streamlined a bit more and certain actions being put in a QTE format instead of relying on our skills to make it through battles. That and the ability to auto-dodge certain things too. I am not sure how this will work in the massive fighting game-style Final Fantasy XVI will shift into when we play as the Eikons in the game, but maybe that is why we will have other friends in the mix too. It looks like it will be an interesting shift coming to the IP and a little more focus on the story instead of convoluted gameplay mechanics out there just to make the game hard for the sake of being hard.
