What’s interesting about this area is that it has mysterious stunning blue skies. It will also introduce a new Eikon that will grant the main character Clive new Feats and Abilities. All of this will fit nicely into the current Final Fantasy 16 battle system.
Previously the studio teased a few details in an interview on the official Square Enix website. Director Takeo Kujiraoka hints that “something” will happen once all the power of Eikons come together.
And finally… gaining Leviathan’s power will mean that all the power of the Eikons has come together. What will happen to Clive when that happens?
