By playing the following video, you can see how the battle between the summoned beasts that captures the heart of the player who started the game is played while actually operating instead of the movie.

Even if it can be operated, it is still before the main part starts, so the operation here is easy. While attacking with the '△' button and avoiding with the 'R1' button, watch the battle with the summoned beast Phoenix and the fire summoned beast Ifrit.



It seems that the reason why the two fought is revealed as the story progresses, and the beginning is told to some extent even in the trial version of about 2 hours.



When the battle of the summoned beasts ends, the story of the main character, Clive, begins with an interlude scene.



Start tutorial. This work is an action RPG, and there are four main actions: 'Attack', 'Magic', 'Evasion', and the special action 'Feet'. 'Attack' can automatically fire 4 consecutive hits by repeatedly hitting the '□' button.



The 'Magic' of the '△' button is a long-range attack that releases fire from your hand.



When the enemy attacks, avoid it with the 'R1' button.



If you dodge with good timing, it becomes a 'precision dodge' that slows down the movement of the enemy, and you can counterattack with the '□' button and '△' button.



'Feet' activated by pressing the '○' button is a special action unique to the equipped summoned beast. At this point, the hero can use the summoned beast Phoenix's foot, which is called 'Phoenix Shift,' which quickly approaches the enemy with teleportation.



Clive, who finished his sword training, was ordered to subjugate goblins by his father, who governs the principality of Rosaria, which is the stage.



Below you can see how field exploration and combat are seamlessly connected.

I found a goblin while exploring an abandoned village. The small fish battle will start as it is without sandwiching the load.



I kicked the goblin.



Items dropped by enemies are automatically collected after the battle ends, and items dropped on the field can be obtained simply by approaching, so stress-free.



Climb ladders and go through tree roots to explore in three dimensions.



Then I encountered a huge boss.



The giant boss has physical strength, so the battle will be prolonged, but in 'FINAL FANTASY XVI', an 'event' will occur that will not make the battle monotonous, so I tried collecting those scenes.

The basic strategy of boss battles is to repeatedly attack and reduce the 'Will Gauge' under the enemy's health gauge.



Enemies without 'Will Gauge' will flinch and become defenseless, giving them a chance to focus their attacks.



As the battle progressed further, an 'event' occurred along with the movie.



There are two types of events. First of all, in the 'attack event', by pressing the '□' button, you can deal great damage to the enemy along with spectacular actions.



In battles with difficult enemies, using the items set on the cross key is also a point. For example, using the item potion with '↑', I was able to recover my physical strength.



In addition to 'Attack Events', there are also 'Evasion Events' that dodge dangerous enemy attacks with the 'R1' button. Since the battle may start from the event that started during the movie, I was not able to relax during the movie.



The content of the above review is based on 'Story Focus', which focuses on enjoying the story. In ``Story Focus'' mode, you can fight by simply pressing the attack button and avoidance button at the right time, but you can switch to ``Battle Focus'' mode at any time from the settings, so those who want to enjoy a challenge. It is recommended that you select this mode.



The trial version contains not only battle scenes, but also the conspiracy that attacked the royal family of the Principality of Rosaria, and the epic story centered around the 'Dominant' who drives the summoned beast. You can also have it carried over to the next version. For that reason, from those who have already pre-ordered 'FINAL FANTASY XVI' to those who are wondering whether to get their hands on a major RPG, the content is something that everyone who owns a PlayStation 5 should definitely download. rice field.
