Square Enix is gearing up to release their next major installment to the Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy XVI. While you are likely well aware of the game and what it entails by now, a new series of videos has just dropped. It’s a series of clips that will give you a little more insight into the game in case you might have previously missed some of the showcases and marketing materials that were previously released. You can check out each of the clips below.

This clip is all about the different Eikons players will be able to trigger. It’s noted that Clive can use up to three of these abilities to be channeled at once. With a button tap, you can unleash a series of brutal attacks against your enemies. 

Clive’s furry little friend Torgal is a perfect hound to take into battle. Developers in this clip highlight the fact that Torgal can take on commands and attack an enemy. Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that this hound can also mend your wounds.

Dominants will play a big role in this game, and you’ll get to control them during battle. However, it looks like each will have a bit of different abilities and mechanics. This clip highlights just a few brief battles you might be able to expect during your adventures, such as a battle between an Ifrit and a Titan. 

There’s a strong focus on allowing players to tweak Clive’s abilities independently. You’ll get to spend your ability points within the game to unlock new abilities for Clive. So as you progress, new moves can be unlocked or further buffed. Fortunately, you can even practice these abilities before taking them to the battlefield.
