While information is limited, here\u2019s a look at the confirmed features ahead of the game\u2019s release. Final Fantasy XVI is on track to become one of the biggest video game launches of 2023. Ahead of its June 22, 2023, debut on the PlayStation 5, Square Enix has teased several aspects of the JRPG. For example, a State of Play even announced the name of Clive\u2019s Chocobo. In addition to the protagonist\u2019s companion, Final Fantasy XVI has also informed prospective players how to unlock and upgrade Clive\u2019s abilities. Here\u2019s everything that Square Enix has covered so far about his abilities and the in-game skill tree. Every Final Fantasy XVI ability in skill tree so far Final Fantasy XVI\u2019s official Twitter account posted a one-minute clip on May 7, 2023, featuring Clive\u2019s Eikon-focused skill tree. For example, the Phoenix grants Clive the \u201cHeatwave\u201d skill \u2013 which launches a fire shockwave into an enemy for 120 ability points. The video also showed the difference in power between upgraded abilities. Specific attacks can also be unlearned if players are uninterested in the skill. The ability points will then be refunded to players \u2013 allowing them to try various Eikons. While we only know a relatively small handful of abilities in the grand scheme of things, here\u2019s a look at some of the game abilities and what they do: Heatwave: Summon a projectile-dispelling wall of liquid flame before launching several deadly shockwaves. Wave force is amplified upon dispelling magic. &#8211; Rising Flames: Summon a fiery wing that deals damage and can launch lighter enemies into the air. &#8211; Unlike previous Final Fantasy entries, FFXVI will have an action-oriented battle system. In a past interview, producer Naoki Yoshida discussed changing the combat for a younger audience. \u201cFor the past decade or so, I\u2019ve seen quite a number of opinions saying, \u2018I don\u2019t understand the attraction of selecting commands in video games,&#8217;\u201d Yoshida said. \u201cThis opinion is only increasing, particularly with younger audiences who do not typically play RPGs.\u201d That\u2019s everything we know about Final Fantasy XVI and its skills and abilities so far.
