Naoki Yoshida Announces DLC and PC Version
The producer of Final Fantasy 16, Naoki Yoshida, recently made an announcement regarding the game’s upcoming plans, which include a PC version and FF16 DLC. The DLC will consist of two parts and will focus on the story of Valisthea. Yoshida explained that the development team received numerous opinions and reactions from the Final Fantasy XVI community, with a common request being for more exploration of Valisthea and its inhabitants. As a result, the team is currently working on a paid DLC that will cater to this demand. Yoshida also mentioned that a PC version is currently in development, but no release date has been confirmed yet.
Final Fantasy 16 Update 1.10 Patch Notes
Final Fantasy XVI patch 1.10, featuring new costumes amongst several updates to the game, is now live! Here are the patch notes:
-
Adds an Appearance feature to the Arete Stone in the hideaway.
Players can modify the costumes of different characters, including Clive, and change the appearance of the weapon he wields to that of a previously obtained one. This function is accessible only after reaching a specific point in the story and is not available at the start of a New Game+ playthrough until the same point is reached. However, it is worth noting that this feature may be disabled in some scenes to maintain loading speed.
-
Awards each player an onion sword
Accessing the Redeemable Items in the System menu allows for the acquisition of the onion sword, which grants Clive the ability to wield the blade favored by the Warriors of Light, the celebrated heroes from FINAL FANTASY III. The Redeemable Items function becomes available upon reaching a specific point in the story. It’s worth noting that the onion sword possesses the same characteristics as other downloadable weapons, such as the Braveheart and Blood Sword.
- Reduces the time after a successful parry at which Eikonic abilities can be activated.
- Increases the time small enemies remain vulnerable to follow-up attacks after being lifted into the air by the player, allowing for easier aerial combos.

Once the update is installed, it will no longer be possible to view or record high scores on the old leaderboard. However, the scores that were recorded on the previous leaderboard will not be removed. In a future update, we plan to make the previous leaderboards visible to all players.
-
Make the following changes to the System menu:

- Fixes several minor text issues.
