Square Enix recently revealed some details about the world and characters of Final Fantasy XVI, which this time will take us to the land of Valistea, nestled between mountains of Mothercrystals that shine among the six worlds that surround it.

Over the generations, people have gone to the lighthouses to receive the blessing they offer, and using the ether of the mother crystals, they summon the magic that will make them live a comfortable and wealthy life, while great powers grow around these mother crystals.

However, at some point, this climate of peace and security begins to waver after the spread of this scourge that threatens the country. Creatures called Eikons begin to appear where they inhabit the bodies of men or women who have the ability to summon them.

These people are called Dominants and are treated differently from one area to another. Some consider them their masters and treat them like kings, while in other regions they consider them lethal weapons that they use in wars.

The developer will reveal more details about Final Fantasy XVI in the coming period, including announcing the highly anticipated release date for fans of the game.
