  • New Hideaway advisors – The Hideaway, which serves as protagonist Clive’s base, will give players the opportunity to discover more about the world of Valisthea, from past to present, by speaking to historian Harpocrates, as well as view the relationship chart of the characters by speaking to military scholar Vivian.

  • New training function – Players can battle in training mode by accessing the ‘Arete Stone’ in the Hideaway. This feature will be useful when wanting to practice a combination of abilities, particularly after learning a new skill.

  • New hunts – More adventures can be accessed from the Hideaway as players can check the Wanted Posters to discover powerful monsters roaming around the world. Defeating these enemies will yield powerful rewards.

In addition to the footage, which is below, Square Enix also dropped some screens from the game, which look amazing when viewed in full size.

Final Fantasy XVI is coming to PlayStation 5 on June 22nd and is currently exclusive to the platform, at this stage there are no plans for a PC or Xbox release and even if there were, the deal between PlayStation and Square Enix would likely mean they can’t talk about it.
