Thanks to the demo of Final Fantasy XVI, PS5 players will be able to take a look at Valisthea, the game world, check its dark tone and test the combat system, which for the first time in the saga is committed to pure action. In the advances it has been compared with that of Devil May Cry. The first thing that will be experienced is the prologue, of approximately two and a half hours of gameplay, which will allow you to get an idea of Clive Rosfield’s past and the events that led him to undertake the adventure that he is about to begin.
Data saved during the prologue can be carried over to the main game when it becomes available next week.
Completing the prologue unlocks a demo of the combat system. In this action segment of about two hours Clive infiltrates a fort supported by his faithful wolf Torgal and Cidolfus Telmon. In Final Fantasy XVI there are companions, but the only playable character is Clive, the rest go free of him with the exception of Torgal, to whom actions can be indicated by commands. In this part of the demo, players will face different enemies and bosses. In order to test the combat well, there are skills and accessories unlocked. The demo can be repeated as many times as desired.
