The sixteenth entry in the legendary Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XVI is a stand-alone action RPG that drastically changes the Final Fantasy formula, with a far greater emphasis on hack-and-slash combat. Set in the fictional world of Valisthea, the six ruling nations find themselves embroiled in a bitter battle for control and resources as a mysterious affliction begins wiping out the world. At the center of it all lies Clive Rosfield, who after witnessing the deaths of his loved ones and the destruction of his kingdom sets off on a decade-spanning quest for revenge.
