Secret Tricks & Unlocks I Wish I Knew Earlier In Final Fantasy 16 (Final Fantasy 16 Tips And Tricks)

[@kinsan89]

My favorite little overall Final Fantasy easter egg was during some kind of sidequest. It involved picking up either some onions or cooking stuff, but the little item description mentioned "onion knights"

[@SaucedUpStinkyGrandpa]

Is that a dark souls reference?

[@kinsan89]

@@SaucedUpStinkyGrandpa it's an older FF job, which I'm pretty sure is a reference to A Tale of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, though I could see how Dark Souls would also have their own onion knight

[@zappiestlynx9567]

@@kinsan89it was the one where you take jill or the doctor to the market and it wasn’t onion knights, you pick up garlic and it says they’re used in a dish called garlic knights

[@kinsan89]

@@zappiestlynx9567 ah, gotcha. I just realized it was a play on words for "onion knight" to "garlic knight" and misremembered, thank you

[@Bloodhurl67]

And they now add in an "Onion Sword" for the new update 😂

[@Philosoforester]

I like how they throw back to FF Tactics via Cid, who in that game is also Cidalfous, aka Thunder God Cid. His title had nothing to do with Ramuh in Tactics, but it seems obvious why they chose Cid to be Ramuh’s dominant in XVI.

[@colby2987]

The crystal is mentioned in the story, its shivas original crystal and is mentioned to have been lost to the blight

[@VexylObby]

That they think. But the crystal has not disappeared! I am sure the devs kept it a mystery in case DLC was not possible for them.

[@thebananas6483]

As much as I love XII/12, it's a weird recommendation to give to someone who loved this as their first Final Fantasy. 12's and 16's strengths are rather different. 16 has fantastic combat, quality main characters that you root for, and a very interesting take on Primals/Eikons. However the side characters are mostly forgettable, there's a painful lack of actual RPG elements/mechanics, and very little side/secret content, making it a very linear experience. Meanwhile 12 has phenomenal RPG mechanics and gameplay, lots of hidden areas & summons, and some very interesting side characters. However the main cast (with the exception of Blathier) are just bland and uninteresting, the story's pacing is inconsistent with mediocre voice acting, and the Gambit system is not for everyone. So we have a story based game with strong action that does away with most of the traditional RPG elements vs. one that's more gameplay focused, that really leans into the RPG/MMO mechanics with a forgettable story.

[@omegaxtrigun]

The downthrust height effect works with Odin’s sword too. It has it’s own version of lunge and downthrust and gets a damage boost if used from high up. It also generates more zantetsuken gauge if you do it from higher up.

[@afroponix3414]

The Crystal is also mentioned in passing NPC conversation, when you first get to that area and are walking on the path there’s two farmers staring at the Crystal and talking about it, things like “do you see what I’m seeing”, but the ATL and the broader story don’t say much else about it from what I can tell, after progression those two are no longer both there to comment on it.

[@shagggadoo]

Light spoilers**** The farmers are talking about the floating crystal that appeared.... not that one.

[@Robzooo7]

@@shagggadoo no they aren't there is no floating crystal when you first go there and they reference it in the distance saying it's like the water has frozen. I was pretty sure that was them saying it was related to Shiva.

[@shagggadoo]

@@Robzooo7 ah gotcha. Thought you were talking about the end game random convos

[@SuperZechs]

About 50 hours earlier in my play through, I believe they said it was a tidal wave that froze

[@krypteeq]

Asta the hopeless romantic is my favourite npc. she always falls for a different man every time you talk to her after new chapter.

[@SirFoxbutt]

After I realised she kept changing her sights after each while, I got really excited to keep going back and talking to her to see who she was after next. I also really enjoyed checking back in with Jackin out on the boards to see which new animal he was talking to after each chapter too. 😂

[@EternalZhang]

I still want to know where that fallen door in The Dim leads to, But I also thought it was just a door for the Phoenix Gate Apodetry so I gave up 🤔

[@krypteeq]

door won't open coz you can't use magic in the Blight

[@Tecrogue]

@@krypteeqmakes me wonder if you can make it there within a semi-prime window…

[@smokeldogg]

It leads to DLC.

[@bradcook1537]

Yeah, I really hope Leviathan shows up in DLC. What the heck happened to it? Also the two crystals that fell in both the north and southern Woelod. Would love to see more of the land somehow, even if it's Blighted.

[@VexylObby]

I would say the writers' answer would have to do with the nature of the blight. Perhaps a blighted dominant??? In any case, that overworld map was one of the worst ones I have ever seen. Still a small problem for how much I loved the game.

[@PSNMirru]

Leviathan disappeared and it’s speculated that Edda was pregnant with a Dominant that allowed her to live through that aether flood in Waloed. But that’s just speculation.

[@smokeldogg]

Clive calls his Silver bird one of a kind but there’s a scene where his father is also riding a silver chocobo.

[@greenmountainpokemon2112]

Deadly embrace works REALLY REALLY well for gaining height!!!

[@brianbalcer]

These are odd "secrets". The description of downthrust and Upheavel both say they do more damage from higher up. The revive elixir is not hidden and is available to everyone after a story part. An option on the menu being a secret? And so on and so on

[@SirFoxbutt]

It's a mix, really. Secrets AND things they wish they knew earlier, it takes some people a long time to even realise you can triangle the ability menu to read detailed information on the abilities. I've watched some playthroughs / streams of people who had no idea until people told them.

[@lastest_debteenator]

That's bc this channel has lots of clickbaits, from AC to Cyberpunk to this.

[@Sangcreux]

These aren’t secrets or tips at all, besides maybe the first one? This is just random shit mashed together that anyone who played the game would know

[@koboldbiopellet]

I figured out what happened to Leviathan (spoilers for late game side quests) At the Sins of Dzemekys, there was an ancient battle between the gods and a certain Eikon. The Eikon was destroyed, creating the Sins. The only Eikon that could've been destroyed is the one in the mural that doesn't appear in game, that being Leviathan.

[@adrianridgway4333]

I just loved that there was a side quest named 'Caulk and Bawl'

They very much talk about what happened to Leviathan in the side story. If you remember the location of the giant waterfalls near Boklad, i forget the name but that is where leviathan's crystal was and when the people battled the gods that is what happened. Leviathan fell.

[@Aumaan924]

ok so I have two questions that are completely unrelated to this but need a more recent vid just in case... so in NG+ FF Mode is there anything besides de Ultima Weapon that is worth it? and... I keep seeing people do like a teleport dodge that seems to be related to the Eiokons of fire, but I think I might've missed how to do that in my playthrough, so how is that done? 🤣

[@trexelist]

Are you referring to “Phoenix Shift”… It’s the first “ability” you get in the game. It’s part of the Phoenix Eikon’s abilities and it’s the Circle “⭕️” button that you press to use it. Honestly, I have no idea how anyone could miss this as it’s literally one of the first things the game teaches you how to do after attack and dodge, but maybe I’m misinterpreting the question or something lol. Either way, hope this helps!✌️

[@Aumaan924]

​@@trexelistwhile I do know what the Phoenix Shift is, what I'm specifically talking about is a dodge animation that I've never done myself... but now that you mentioned Phoenix Shift, and this is probably because used it to evade... I suppose it could be dodging with it instead of closing the gap... I think Jor does a few at around the 8 min mark

[@trexelist]

@@Aumaan924 Ah, okay now I see what you mean. That animation is for when you are wearing the “Berserker Ring” (which is easily one of the best accessories in the game IMO) and perform a Precision Dodge. Clive looks and attacks similar to when you use your Limit Break, but it only gives you an attack speed & damage boost for a short duration (maybe like 5 seconds). I’m pretty sure Jor did a video about the Berserker Ring (or at least had a video that talked about it and other accessories).

[@Aumaan924]

@@trexelist oooohhhh nice, I never saw that vid and I never tried the Berserker Ring since I always carried the exp, gil and ap accesories on me... but if I do go for a ng+ soon, I'll try it... just for the fact that the precision dodges look cooler

[@omegaxtrigun]

In NG+ you can combine duplicate accessories to make a new version that has double the effect of the base version.

[@pforgottonsoul]

i got the medal of valor in the game already trying to get the trophy just wasn't sure if it did anything after getting all of them.

Having 2 more accessories slots would help. Random enemy encountered shouldn’t need have a green muring allowing a enemy to go back to spawn and regenerate complete health after almost finishing it

You get medallions for taking no damage on a boss? I will never be done with this game lol. I havent even started ff mode and already at 58 hours..

[@craigfunk3453]

Its only 16 specific bosses. Your only clue to their existence is the trophy for beating a boss while taking no damage. The easiest i would say to get is the garuda medal (eye of the tempest, eikon battle only) or the Kostnice battle (2 small waves and the War Panther all back to back) the easiest way to pick out where a medal is, is every boss health bar associated with the final, fanfare victory screen (example would be both halves of the Typhon battle in Drake's Head need to be done without taking damage)
