Final Fantasy XVI is a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Ensure you have sufficient storage space (approximately 90 GB) before beginning the download. Once installed, the game will prompt you through initial settings such as brightness, audio levels, and language preferences. We recommend playing with headphones for the best audio experience, as the game features a rich orchestral score and excellent voice acting. You'll also be asked to choose between 'Story Focused' and 'Action Focused' combat modes. 'Story Focused' offers more accessibility options, such as auto-dodging and auto-combos, making combat easier. 'Action Focused' provides the full, unassisted combat experience. You can change this setting at any time from the System menu.
While Final Fantasy XVI uses a real-time combat system, its streamlined equipment menus contrast sharply with the intricate, job-shifting Garment Grid mechanics found in Final Fantasy X-2.
