Final Fantasy 16 has received a new trailer showcasing Valisthea and more story and combat footage at PAX East 2023. Of course, that’s not all. Square Enix also revealed some raw gameplay, highlighting the game’s 4K and Frame Rate modes and one of the major regions. Check it out below at 30:20 and 1:00:15.

By traversing the market, we see different vendors, including one that sells weapons and the Blacksmith who upgrades them. There’s also the Arete Stone for accessing the Hall of Virtue, a training area; Arcade Mode for replaying previous stages to earn a high score; and Stage Replay, which allows for revisiting levels at your current level.

Later footage sees Clive, Torgal and Jill battling against a Storm Panther, and we get to see one of the Timely Support Accessories in action. The Eikon battles are even more involved, with Ifrit battling Typhon and Titan. Some include entities like Titan Lost and Eikon of Fire, the latter playing out as a shoot ’em-up stage.

Final Fantasy 16 is out on June 22nd for PS5. A demo will be available two weeks before release. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Square Enix brought tons of new Final Fantasy 16 details and gameplay to PAX East 2023. Along with a new trailer highlighting the world of Valisthea, it also showcased new story footage and combat, including some more Eikonic Abilities. Check it out below at the 11:15 and 24:40 timestamps.

Along with Garuda, Titan and Ifrit, Clive uses abilities from Bahamut, Phoenix and more. Odin’s Zantetsuken is out in full force, unleashing an array of slashes similar to Vergil from Devil May Cry 5. It can be comboed with Bahamut’s Megaflare, which sends several energy projectiles into the air that rain down on an enemy as Clive continues the assault.

It’s pretty extensive, and the sheer amount of combo potential is insane. Final Fantasy 16 is out on June 22nd for PS5, but a demo will go live about two weeks prior, allowing fans to try the combat first-hand. Progress transfers over into the game as well. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

At PAX East 2023, the development team for Final Fantasy 16 unveiled some new footage for the upcoming action RPG. The latest trailer outlines the different locations that protagonist Clive Rosfield will travel to in Valisthea. Check it out below.

Along with sprawling plains and war-torn towns, the player ventures into caverns with crystals and lava. There are ancient ruins to explore, created by The Fallen, a civilization that existed before the game’s events, and a vast crater with waterfalls and a lake in the centre. Of course, players won’t have to make the entire journey on foot as Chocobos are available. You’ll also be squeezing through gaps, as is tradition, regardless of the environment.

There are six major regions to explore in Final Fantasy 16, each with its controlling power and Dominant. With the Mothercrystals slowly fading and the Blight spreading, war threatens to engulf Valisthea. We’ll see how it all plays out when the game launches on June 22nd for PS5. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
