Final Fantasy 16: What is Final Fantasy Mode in FFXVI? – Answered

Do you have what it takes to take it to the next level?

Final Fantasy XVI will have three difficulty modes; First, we have the Story-Focused Difficulty, if you want to just experience the storyline without being bothered much by the enemies. Then, we have the Action-Focused Difficulty, which is something seasoned Action RPG players will certainly want to have a taste of in Final Fantasy 16, and then, we have the Final Fantasy difficulty, which we would like to talk about today. It’s a highly challenging mode that should provide replayability value to FFXVI. In this article, we’ll go over what Final Fantasy Mode is in FF16.

Final Fantasy Mode in FFXVI Explained

Based on a Tweet by Genki_JPN which we will embed below, there will be a Final Fantasy Mode. Pictured in the Tweet is the explanation of Final Fantasy Mode, and we are bringing the exact explanation from the menu:

Replay the game in Final Fantasy mode with data carried over from a previous playthrough. In this mode, the level cap is raised to 100, but the enemies are far more powerful.
To aid you in your journey, the legendary “Ultima Weapon” is available for crafting.
After starting, you will be unable to switch over to Story or Action Focused mode.

So, indeed, Final Fantasy XVI has the New Game Plus mode, if you were wondering. The last thing from this Tweet is the Gold Trophy, which you will be able to obtain for your PlayStation account, which I am certain many completionists and achievement hunters will rush to accomplish.

This mode is meant to be a challenge for the most enthusiastic and/or hardcore players that want to take another spin at the main storyline but with increased difficulty.

Final Fantasy XVI is a PlayStation 5 Exclusive that is available starting on June 22, 2023. Buckle up!
