The latest installment of the popular game series, Final Fantasy XVI, will be soon available for PC. According to an official announcement from the X account, the game is set to be released on September 17 and will be accessible through both Steam and the Epic Games Store. You can already add it to your wishlist or pre-order it on either platform. Additionally, a free demo is also up for grabs, offering a chance to play the opening segment and try out the Eikonic Challenge mode. If you decide to pre-order, you’ll receive some exclusive bonuses such as Cait Sith’s Charm, Sixteen Bells Orchestrion Roll item, and the Brave Blade weapon. The base game itself costs $50 for the standard edition or $70 for the Complete Edition which includes two DLCs that have already been released.

Tide Rising: Final Fantasy XVI

A few mainline Final Fantasy games have been released for PC a year or two after their initial launch, but their availability varies.

In contrast to Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition, Final Fantasy VII Remake was exclusively available on Epic Games Store for a few months before it was released on Steam. On the same day, Final Fantasy XVI will be released on Steam and Epic Games Store.

Since producer Naoki Yoshida informed Game Informer (via IGN) in March that the PC port was almost complete, fans have been anticipating this announcement. According to Yoshida, the PC version release date may depend on determining the system requirements and specifications that players will need, and they are currently working on that. According to him, the PC specifications are expected to be relatively high.

The PC port is expected to be large at 170 GB, as indicated on the Steam store page. However, the recommended system specifications are quite reasonable for such a large Final Fantasy game. AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel Core i7-10700 CPUs are required, along with AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 graphics cards.

The newly released Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth offers players an expanded Midgar section, allowing them to explore beyond the walls and into the world outside. This vast area raises questions about the game’s overall size, given its numerous open-world tasks, side quests, and minigames found within places like the Gold Saucer. Some may question if the game truly has enough content to last for its claimed 100-hour playtime. For those solely interested in the main storyline, we have completed our playthrough of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth and can offer an estimate on how long it takes to reach its conclusion.

Without revealing any plot details, we will provide the number of chapters.

In the popular game Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, the prevailing belief is that the Lifestream is responsible for propelling the world forward. However, it may surprise you to learn that it is actually Gil that holds this power. Our main character, Cloud, is on a mission to thwart Sephiroth’s plans and save the planet. Despite his heroic intentions, he still operates as a mercenary and expects compensation for his efforts. Along the way, players must gather valuable items such as Materia, Accessories, Armor, and Queen’s Blood cards to aid in their quest. Unfortunately, accumulating all these items requires a hefty amount of Gil which can be challenging to obtain. To assist you in this daunting task, we have traversed through Gaia and uncovered the most effective strategies for Gil grinding in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth.

There are numerous ways to earn Gil in Final Fantasy 7

Rebirth, although some methods may be more effective than others.

Riding a Chocobo may save you some time, but there will still be plenty of running involved. This includes venturing into areas where mounts are not allowed, such as dungeons and towns. Don’t worry though, even when on foot, Cloud will clock in many steps. And those steps won’t go unnoticed – completing quests by walking can earn you rewards. One of these rewards is the Pedometer Pin, which grants 1 Gil for every 100 steps taken. Though it may not seem like much initially, the amount will accumulate rapidly. Plus, this is essentially free money that you don’t want to miss out on. And the best part? The pin doesn’t take up an accessory slot for Cloud or any other member of your active party. As long as someone wearing the pin is available for your party’s use, everyone can reap its benefits.

There are not many sidequests for hire in Rebirth compared to other open world games, but each one is usually worth your time. Visit the notice boards in each new town and complete every request. The exact reward will not be known until you complete the task, but you can generally expect to receive a couple thousand Gil in return.

With the arrival of Final Fantasy 7: Remake Intergrade, Fort Condor brings a new surprise. Upon reaching Kalm in the game’s opening hours, you will receive your first deck of Queen’s Blood cards in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth. While optional after your initial playthrough, this minigame offers a plethora of content, secrets, and enjoyable moments that you won’t want to miss out on. We understand if a card game may seem out of place amidst your epic journey through Final Fantasy. However, rest assured that there is much more depth to this game than what meets the eye. If you’re interested in becoming a Queen’s Blood champion but are unsure where to start, we are here to provide guidance.
