Final Fantasy 16, the newest entry in the legendary series, features a brand-new protagonist named Clive Rosfield. The game continues the series' longstanding tradition of using well-known RPG mechanics to increase the protagonist's already considerable power, which is represented by the basic leveling system. As is the case with many RPG's, Clive will begin Final Fantasy 16 at a low level, which will then increase incrementally when he earns enough experience points.
Given his ability to gain power through experience, players may wonder if there is any limit to Clive's power. Final Fantasy 16 does feature a cap to its leveling system, which differs between the basic playthrough, and New Game Plus.
What is Clive's Max Level in Final Fantasy 16?
Clive Rosfield begins Final Fantasy 16 at level ten, while young Clive begins the flashback sequences at level 5. Over the course of the first playthrough in either Action Focus or Story Focus, he will 'max out' at level 50. Given how fast Clive levels up in the early sections of the game, this may initially seem like a low level cap, but leveling up will eventually take considerably more time
To reach level 50, Clive will have to make the most of his time in Valisthea, pursuing more than just the main story quests. FF16 features many ways to level up quickly, including taking part in side quests and hunts. Players who pre-ordered Final Fantasy 16 will also have access to the Scholar's Spectacles, which increases all EXP gained by 10%
If Clive hits level 50 during the first playthrough, players will be happy to know that there is a way to increase the level cap. Once completed, Final Fantasy 16 introduces New Game Plus, which is called Final Fantasy Mode in-game.
What is Clive's Max Level in Final Fantasy Mode?
Final Fantasy Mode introduces a wide variety of changes for Clive's second playthrough. For the purposes of this guide, the most important change is the increased level cap, which now maxes out at level 100. This new mode will allow Clive to carry over upgrades and abilities, which will help when facing the increased enemy count.
Upon starting the Echoes of the Fallen DLC expansion , the Final Fantasy 16 level cap will increase to 55 in a standard playthrough and 105 while playing on Final Fantasy Mode.
Final Fantasy 16 is available now for the Playstation 5.
