Everything Final Fantasy 16 Loses By Not Having Party Members
A brand new trailer for Final Fantasy 16 was recently shown at Sony's State of Play, revealing more details about the next mainline game in the series. While certain aspects of the franchise will be returning, such as Final Fantasy's classic Eikon feature, FF16 may be moving away from the normal party system. As more footage is revealed, a singular playable character is shown in each gameplay scene. If Square Enix decides to focus only on one main character, there are a few intrinsic qualities of the franchise that Final Fantasy 16 will lose out on, by not having party members.
The game follows the protagonist Clive Rosfield on his journey for revenge after the death of his father. Based on the trailers, players can infer more about Final Fantasy 16's story. At the beginning of the footage, fans can see Joshua, Clive's brother, starting to battle Ifrit. If he dies, this could possibly fuel Clive's revenge even further. There are many aspects of the narrative left shrouded in mystery, but one detail revealed about the land of Valisthea is the presence of Dominants. These are people that can call upon the destructive power of an Eikon. Dominants all share a different fate, with some being regarded as nobility, while others are used as a weapon of war. The footage shown indicates that Clive will somehow be able to wield the strength of Eikons, without being a Dominant himself.
