On this page you will find:

• A very compact text version of my guide that you can use as a roadmap
• A very detailed Video Format, with timecodes for every key step and chapters to skip the parts which you don’t feel like watching. So I recommend to give it a try and to subscribe to my YouTube channel if you want to get the latest info first.

 

 

This is a REAL 100% Walkthrough. Well over 1500+ hours of preparation are necessary for this guide to make sure not a single item was missed and to complete 100% of Final Fantasy XVI as efficiently as possible!

In this guide, I will of course show you how to unlock ALL FF16 Trophies / Achievements, but also:

• Acquire ALL Items
• Acquire ALL Weapons
• Acquire ALL Armor
• Acquire ALL Accessories
• Complete all the side quests
• Upgrade all Feats and Abilities to their maximum
• Collect all Signboards
• Collect all curiosities
• Complete all the Hunts
• Craft Gotterdammerung (Legendary Sword)
• Visit all Areas on the World and Local Maps
• Defeat every Boss and mini boss

But I will also provide many advice to become better at the game:

• Basic Combat Mechanics and Tips
• Advanced Combat Guides
• Detailed Builds
• Best way to clear the Final Fantasy Mode (which is needed to unlock the hardest trophy in FF16: Fantasy, Finally)

The walkthrough

This is the ultimate guide to complete 100% of Final Fantasy 16

This is more than just a Platinum Trophy guide, we’ll get everything.

 

• All 50 Trophies including The Chronicler platinum trophy
• All items, even the not important ones, every Potion will be looted! Every gil will be collected!
• All Side Quests

 

Basically, we’ll farm everything, every Gil, material or consumable will be found and looted if you follow this guide. You’ll finish your first playthrough with plenty of materials to do anything you want in your New Game+ (Final Fantasy Mode Playthrough).

 

I’ve planned this guide to do everything in the most efficient order, so that we never hit difficulty walls and complete the full game with as little deaths as possible. Every upgrade that can help will be obtained at the right moment, you’ll be warned in advance of every ambush and trap, there will be an optimal strategy for each of the enemies and Bosses which require one.

• If you’ve never played a Final Fantasy game before, I guarantee you will Platinum this game without any problems if you follow my guide.
• If you’re a casual gamer or 70+ year old with bad reflexes, I guarantee you will Platinum this game too.
• If you’re a veteran FF player, I guarantee you won’t regret following this guide, it will save you a lot of time and you’ll probably learn a few tricks and hidden game mechanics.

We’ll start the game with a few basic combat mechanics, get some early upgrades and progressively add more tools to our arsenal and explore some advanced combat tactics as well as new game mechanics which only exist in Final Fantasy 16.

The Guide’s format

 

This is a double format Guide. There is a full video walkthrough AND a very compact text walkthrough.

The video walkthrough will contain more detailed combat tips, so I suggest you check them out.

Each video will have a list of timecodes with all the important moments in the episodes:

• Timecode for each Item obtained
• Timecode for each Combat tip and boss strategy
• Timecode for each Important info given
• Timecode for each Trophy obtained

 

All cut scenes and NPC dialogues will be included, but if you want to skip them it will be quite easy to do so: each video will be spilt into chapters, with clear labels so you can skip the parts you don’t want to watch or would rather watch on your own.

The text version of my Final Fantasy 16 Walkthrough should also be quite useful, it is very compact, and whenever the direction or explanation isn’t detailed enough, you can always check the video to get a clearer direction.

 

FAQ

Q: Will I get all trophies, including the platinum, if I follow your guide?

A: Yes of course. But much more than that. You’ll get everything you can possibly get in one playthrough. All items, weapons, spells, etc. Everything.

 

Q: Do I have to follow your character build exactly ?

A: No. You can follow this guide and do your own build and you’ll be fine. However, this is a very optimized guide and I believe the builds I use are very optimized and powerful. Some strategies in the later part of the game are specific to my build, so you’ll have to find your own strategies if you don’t have the same Abilities / Eikonic / Gear loadout. However, FF16 is very flexible with respecing. You can reset all your Ability Points at any moment for free, so you can copy my build at any point if you’re struggling.

 

Q: Can I follow your guide if I’m on PC / PS / Xbox?

A: Not yet. This is a PlayStation exclusive for now, but there will be a PC release and my guide will be 100% compatible with the PC version. The achievements will be the same.

 

Q: I love your guides! How can I support your work?

A: There are many ways to help me become a full time guide writer:

1. ✅Subscribe to the channel
2. 👍Like and comment every video
3. 📢Share this walkthrough to your communities / forums / friends
4. ❇️Leave a tip: https://www.tipeeestream.com/james-guides/donation
5. 👿Join our Discord to get the latest news and join an amazing community

 

Q: Can I use the Special Accessories, such as the Ring of Timely Focus for example?

A: Yes. I actually recommend using the Ring of Timely Focus and not the “Auto-Evade” one, because this allows you to do other things than evading: Parrying, Countering, etc.
