What Is Final Fantasy XVI?
This installment in the long-running series harkens back to the franchise’s beginnings by putting crystals at the center of the story line. In the world of Valisthea, crystals power the magic. As magic fades from the world, the kingdoms only intensify their battle for magical power. This leads the game’s protagonist Clive Rosfield to a revelation that he must destroy the crystals altogether. You can read more about it in our exclusive Final Fantasy XVI interview with the game’s director.
