Final Fantasy XVI has been praised for its rich storytelling, dynamic combat system, and stunning visuals, making it one of the most celebrated titles in the series to date. With the PC release, even more players will have the chance to experience the game’s immersive world and compelling characters.
Square Enix describes the game as follows:
“An epic dark fantasy world where the fate of the land is decided by the mighty Eikons and the Dominants who wield them. This is the tale of Clive Rosfield, a warrior granted the title ‘First Shield of Rosaria’ and sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the dominant of the Phoenix. Before long, Clive will be caught up in a great tragedy and swear revenge on the Dark Eikon Ifrit, a mysterious entity that brings calamity in its wake.”
