Image: Square Enixīased on what I’ve gleaned from the trailers, each Eikon is an avatar of a particular element, and only one element can be represented by an Eikon at a time. I’m not quite sure if these Dominants are party members to befriend or boss fights to overcome. We’ve also been introduced to Benedikta Harman, Dominant of the wind Eikon Garuda. That Clive can essentially rock punch people tells us that, somewhere along his journey, he’s hooked up with or defeated Hugo Kupka, the Eikon of earth. Of the information shared so far, we know Dominants can share a portion of their powers with others. Both trailers also showcase a bit of the combat in which we can see Clive summoning a rock-plated fist to punch his enemies. He was expected to inherit the power of the Eikon of fire, Phoenix, but that power passed him over in favor of his timid younger brother Joshua.īetween the two trailers, there seems to be a time-skip as the Clive we meet in the Dominance trailer is slightly older (and way sadder) than the Clive we met in the first Awakenings trailer. Basically, he’s a sad-looking, emo boy-man who can swing a sword real good. He’s the oldest son of the Archduke of Rosaria and exudes the same kind of Final Fantasy main-character energy as Squall Leonhart or Noctis Lucis Caelum. Into this miasma of big-ass magical mommy mountains and walking weapons of mass destruction is one Clive Rosefield. There’s even a nifty song at the end of the newest “Dominance” trailer to remind you who all the Eikons are. Part and parcel to these political entities are the Dominants, who are people born with the ability to summon and control Eikons - i.e., your typical Final Fantasy summons. All of the major geopolitical players in Valisthea have organized their government and culture around these crystals, as they’re a major source of power and conflict. Valisthea is home to these huge, magical superstructures called mothercrystals that grant people the power to use magick in their everyday lives. This is simply the one that comes after the one with Noctis and his bro-dtrip.įinal Fantasy XVI takes place in the realm of Valisthea. There are a million and a half Final Fantasy games, far too many to count. Square Enix released not only a new trailer but also a new blog and updates to the official Final Fantasy XVI website that has established a nice foundation upon which we can start building an idea of what this game is about and what we can expect.ĭespite the number, Final Fantasy XVI is not the 16th entry in the series it’s not even the 16th single-player mainline entry, either (thanks to FFXIII’s sequels and the FFVII Remake). Yesterday, Sony and Square Enix blessed us with the biggest chunk of Final Fantasy XVI news yet during the State of Play event.
