Given the focus on the leaders of each of these kingdoms, it is likely that we will be dealing with each of them to a large degree in the story. The trailer reiterates the importance of the crystals and Joshua as a Dominant and gives a little description of each of the major kingdoms looking to claim their power. We see the main cast and what looks like a wolf companion walking through a barren land. The game will apparently take place 15,000 years after some catastrophe caused the world to begin slowly dying. Posted on the official Final Fantasy Twitter account, a new Ambition trailer showed up out of nowhere with a lot of story details. The second trailer further dives into what we knew or suspected, starting with the quote, “In a world ruled by Tyranny and turmoil, there are those who would fight to take back control of their fate.” A voice then asks questions about what the Dominant are, who are apparently being eroded by the power of their summons living inside them. We do learn that the game will focus on Clive during three points in his life: his teenage years, his 20s, and his 30s.įinal Fantasy XVI - State of Play June 2022 Dominance Trailer | PS5 Games Perhaps the game will go back-and-forth between two time periods or simply have a time skip at some point. Perhaps taking a cue from the ending sequence of Final Fantasy XV, there also appears to be some time-period shift in the game’s plot since we see both a younger and much older version of Clive in the trailer.
Jill Warrick is another character we see briefly and is something of an adopted sister to Clive and Joshua, but not much is known about her role in the story just yet.
Joshua’s Eikon is the fire elemental Phoenix, allowing him to use fire-based magic. Instead, he is the sworn protector of his younger brother, Joshua, who actually became the Dominant, but is still able to use some of the Eikon’s power.
He is the son of the Archduke of Grand Duchy of Rosaria and was the one who was expected to become the Dominant of that kingdom. In terms of characters, we got a good look at our new protagonist, Clive Rosfield. The tagline of the game, “The legacy of the crystals has shaped our history for long enough,” perhaps hints at a villain’s goal to destroy the world’s Mothercrystals. While these elements will all make up the central plot of the game, those are all the details we have about the story so far. These Mothercrystals power the world however, something called The Blight has begun to spread across Valisthea. Each kingdom is granted magic thanks to its Mothercrystal, and each has a single person with the power to summon Eikons called Dominants. The game will take place in Valisthea, which is broken up into six kingdoms: Grand Duchy of Rosaria, Holy Empire of Sanbreque, Kingdom of Waloed, Dhamekian Republic, Iron Kingdom, and Crystalline Dominion.
#Final fantasy xvi series#
We know that Final Fantasy XVI will be going back to the traditional fantasy roots of the series as opposed to the recent games that had modern or even futuristic elements to the worlds. Between the single trailer and the game’s official website, a large amount of story information is available. We get glimpses of the story, cutscenes, and what even look to be snippets of gameplay. The reveal trailer, called Awakening, is jam-packed with details in its four-minute runtime. Final Fantasy XVI - Awakening Trailer | PS5
