Its no debate whether the game delivers because it does so graciously for its loyal fanbase.
For the first time ever, real-time combat is introduced in the game.
There are loads of new gameplay systems to wrap ones head around.
You may even need a quick refresher to jog your memory before jumping into the game.
Final Fantasy 16can be difficult for new and seasoned players to master.
Visit Charon and Blackthorne Often
Charon stays at Cids Hideaway and is the main shopkeeper inFinal Fantasy 16.
Blackthorne, on the other hand, is the blacksmith of the game, also found at the Hideaway.
From time to time, its good to head over to the Hideaway and visit these two.
Alternatively, keep an eye out for the yellow-gold dot on the icon for the Hideaway.
Likely soon after something youve just done.
Go Out and Explore Valisthea
Valisthea is a vast, open world that can take ages to explore.
Still, as with any RPG game, take the time to roam around the place.
It doesnt matter ifFinal Fantasy 16is a linear game.
Branching out from the main quest can potentially lead to discovering some pretty cool things.
For instance, you’re free to find side quests off the beaten path.
Or, collect new materials to use to craft cool gear and weapons.
Sometimes, these are not too far away.
Players will choose to skip side quests because they have no impact on the main mission.
However, taking on side quests earns you significant rewards.
They help boost your Gil, AP, and Renown points.
Renown is especially useful because it helps you earn cool rewards without having to spend them.
Additionally, completing side quests is a quick way to unlock new skills and level up your character.
They take a mere few minutes, and the objectives are a piece of cake.
So, why not do them?
Do note, though, that side quests continue to grow more difficult the more you unlock them.
However, by then, youll have gained enough experience to deal with them.
Hunts and notorious marks are part of the side quests.
Except Hunts unlock much later in the game.
They involve taking down some notorious marks on a hunt board to scoop up more XP and Gil bounties.
These can be much tougher than the side quests.
With the help of party members, though, they should be easier to complete.
you could take on the highest bounty that earns you more XP.
It also takes Clive to higher levels than he should currently be in the main story.
Make Maximum Use of Torgal
Torgal is your wolf companion.
Besides being cute, he provides several benefits to Clives journey.
The first is to heal Clive when he takes damage.
The second is to fight alongside Clive during battles.
Torgal isnt a whacky fighter either.
He uses his sharp claws and teeth to strip off enemies flesh.
And lastly, Torgal can use his howl to stun enemies.
