Let's Play Final Fantasy XVI Part 1 - And Thus Did Our Journey Begin - Phoenix vs Ifrit!

#KnightAndDayGaming #KnightAndDayFinalFantasy #letsplayfinalfantasyxvi Welcome to Final Fantasy XVI! We've wanted to play Final Fantasy games on the channel for a long time. But with our schedules it's hard to fit them in. We're going to give it a shot and see how well we can make it work! -------------------DESCRIPTION------------------- Final Fantasy XVI is a 2023 action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix and is the sixteenth main installment in the Final Fantasy series. The game features open environments and an action-based combat system involving melee and magic-based attacks. One of the primary focuses of story and gameplay are summoned monsters called Eikons, which are both fought as bosses and used through channeling their power in combat. Final Fantasy XVI is set in the twin continents of Valisthea, currently divided between six nations who hold power through access to magical Crystals and Dominants, humans who act as hosts for each nation's Eikon. Tensions between the nations escalate as a magical drought dubbed the Blight begins consuming the land. Clive Rosfield, guardian to his younger brother Joshua, witnesses his kingdom destroyed and becomes involved in the growing conflict between Valisthea's nations and a secret power driving the war. Final Fantasy XVI is an action role-playing game in which players take control of protagonist Clive Rosfield and a rotating party of AI-controlled companions through segmented open areas across the continents of Valisthea. Recurring Final Fantasy elements, such as the Chocobo, appear in the game. The world is split between enclosed dungeon environments, town environments, and wider open fields, which can be selected from a map via a fast travel menu. Clive's home base is a hideout, acting as a hub to talk to non-playable characters (NPCs), interact with different shops, and accept side quests ranging from character requests to monster hunts. Information on locations, characters and terminology is stored in a database dubbed Active Time Lore, accessible to players at any time. Combat takes place in the same area players navigate, entering battle once the enemy sees the party. Another companion is the dog Torgal, who responds to Clive's commands to perform special attacks or heal. Clive can switch between different Eikon abilities during battle, stringing them together into different combo attacks. During certain story sections, Clive has battles with Eikons and their wielders that have dedicated mechanics. After defeating them, Clive gains access to powers and fighting techniques themed around them. After completing the game, new options are available including New Game+ which carries character statistics and equipment into a new game, and a harder "Final Fantasy" mode which increases overall difficulty and changes enemy placements. There is also an arcade mode which grades players using a point system for combat, with harder Ultimaniac Mode challenges within that mode. Clive can further upgrade his weapons, armor, and accessories in Final Fantasy mode. -------------------GAME INFO------------------- Name: Final Fantasy XVI Developer: Square Enix Creative Business Unit III Publisher: Square Enix Genre: Action Role Playing Platforms: PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox Series X/S Release Date: June 22, 2023 Wikipedia Site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_F... -------------------VIDEO INFO------------------- Knight and Day Let's Play Final Fantasy 16 Gameplay Walkthrough Blind Playthrough License Free Music Clip: www.bensound.com The Elevator Bosanova -------------------OTHER GAMES WE'VE PLAYED------------------- Final Fantasy VII -    • Final Fantasy VII Gameplay Walkthrough Bli...   Spider-Man -    • Let's Play Marvel's Spider-Man Gameplay Wa...   Dragon Ball FighterZ -    • Let's Play Dragon Ball FighterZ Gameplay S...   Dissidia Final Fantasy NT -    • Let's Play Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Story...   Horizon Zero Dawn -    • Let's Play Horizon Zero Dawn Gameplay Walk...   Journey -    • Let's Play Journey Gameplay Walkthrough Bl...   The Walking Dead -    • Let's Play The Walking Dead Walkthrough Pa...   Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite -    • Let's Play Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Gam...   Five Nights at Freddy's Sister Location -    • Let's Play Five Nights at Freddy's Sister ...   Call of Duty Infinite Warfare -    • Let's Play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare ...   Injustice 2 -    • Let's Play Injustice 2 Story Mode Blind - ...   Super Mario Galaxy -    • Let's Play Super Mario Galaxy Gameplay Wal...   -------------------CONNECT WITH US------------------- Twitch:   / knightanddaylive   Subscribe:    / @knight_and_day
