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.
Settings
CONTROLLER LAYOUT
Wireless Controller Layout: Type B
Dodging is extremely important in FF16, so having the evade button on Circle is a must have. It is the most accessible button at all times, and it’s what you should be used to if you played other action RPGs such as Dark Souls, God of War, etc.
Also, having the main attack buttons on R1 + R2 instead of Square + Triangle will be a great improvement when we’ll start to do Combos involving Charged Attacks. You’ll have a much better control with R1 and R2, trust me on that.
LANGUAGE SETTINGS
Speaker Names: ON
There are many different characters in FF16, you might get confused about who is talking sometimes. Displaying speaker names helps a lot with that.
GRAPHICS SETTINGS
Screen Brightness: 10
There are some pretty dark parts in FF16, from my experience, there are still some really dark corners even with Brightness set to 10. So it does help to see things better in many cases, and it doesn’t ever feel too bright, even when you’re outside in broad daylight.
Game Performance: Frame Rate
The game looks just as amazing and more fluid with this setting in my experience. And when there are cinematics, the game still automatically bumps the quality to the maximum.
CAMERA SETTINGS
Camera Sensitivity (Horizontal) : 3
Camera Sensitivity (Vertical) : 3
I just feel that the camera is turning very slowly with the default setting of 2. In combat, we want to be able to look around quickly to see what’s going on.
Everything else I left with the default setting.
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:
- ✅Subscribe to the channel
- 👍Like and comment every video
- 📢Share this walkthrough to your communities / forums / friends
- ❇️Leave a tip: https://www.tipeeestream.com/james-guides/donation
- 👿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.

EPISODE 14: COMPACT TEXT GUIDE FORMAT
- Rook’s Gambit
- Taunt
- 1x High Potion
-
Rook’s Gambit is similar to Heatwave, but it works against Melee attacks instead of Projectiles
-
It does a LOT more Damage and Will Damage if used as a Counter. And it also gets a much quicker cooldown if you successfully counter with it
-
Use it in combination with Taunt : Hold Square –> Press Touchpad to counter enemies whenever you want to
- Random Item
-
You can pull flyers down to you with Deadly Embrace
-
Gouge doesn’t do much damage, but it does a LOT of will damage, so it’s particularly useful against Elite Enemies and Bosses, not so much against small enemies
- Random Item
- Random Item
-
Let’s start working on a Bronze Trophy called “Fatal Attraction”
-
You have to defeat 5 enemies in the air after using Deadly Embrace
-
The easiest way to do it is to find a flyer, such as the Imperial Wyrm in this group, lock-on the flyer, then:
-
L2 (Phoenix Shift)
-
R1 R1 R1 (Aerial Combo) + Triangle (Switch to Garuda while doing the R1 R1 R1 combo)
-
L2 (Deadly Embrace)
-
R1 R1 R1 (Aerial Combo)
-
-
The other way is to do this to ground enemies, do exactly the same combo, but first use D-Pad Down (Ravage) on Torgal to have him send the enemy airborne
-
You can also send the enemies airborne with our usual Double Charged combo (Burning Blade followed by Charged Magic)
-
There’s no rush to do this Trophy, but it’s good practice for Garuda’s airborne combos and Eikon Switching, so let’s start working on it now
- Random Item
- 1x Gil Bug
-
Learn to switch in between Rook’s Gambit and Heatwave mid battle
-
Start with Garuda as long as you’re in close range, be ready to switch to Pheonix for a Heatwave counter when you’re in long range. Enemies tend to use their projectiles more when you’re far away.
-
As soon as the enemy is Staggered, open with Gouge. The more Will Damage you do, the quicker the Stagger damage multiplier will increase.
-
Also remember to mash R1 to extend Gouge duration
-
-
Use Deadly Embrace on an Elite Enemy as soon as its Will Gauge reaches the 50% mark, it will perform a “Deadly Takedown”, stunning the enemy for about 4 extra seconds.
- Random Item
- Random Item
- Random Item
- 5x Pinches of Magical Ash
- Random Item
- 2x Sprigs of Valley Madder
-
There are many of them in this area and there’s great target practice to try everything we just learned
-
They give good rewards
-
I suggest you clear the whole map, even if you don’t have to
-
I won’t mention the other fights in this area, just the items
- 1x Sharp Fang
- 2x Sprigs of Valley Madder
