Throughout the game, you play Clive as he seeks to get revenge for the death of his brother Joshua and create a world worth living in.
Of course, you will come across various surprises like the occasional Notorious Mark as you explore the world of Valisthea, but more surprises like alternate game modes can also be found. This guide will show you how to unlock Final Fantasy mode in Final Fantasy 16.

How does Final Fantasy Mode change Final Fantasy 16?
Final Fantasy Mode is vastly different than your first playthrough. For starters, Final Fantasy Mode is a more action-focused mode. This means that enemies have increased stats, the max level cap increases to 100, and enemies spawn in new locations.
Along with all of this, you will be able to craft the Ultima Weapon which is the most powerful sword in the game. When you start up a game in Final Fantasy mode, you will automatically have the Utterance of Creation added to your inventory, a necessary item to craft the Ultima Weapon.
Before entering Final Fantasy mode, be sure to craft Gotterdammerung and learned all of the Eikonic abilities you can to make things easier.
