As the latest standalone story in the Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy XVI follows Clive Rosfield on his journey through Valisthea. Clive is sworn to protect his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of Phoenix, Eikon of Fire. It’s a game of many highs and lows, and if you play Final Fantasy XIV, you’ll likely be accustomed to the structure.
