Many bloody battles were fought for control of this small plot of land due to its strategic importance, till the warring realms finally agreed to an armistice.
The Crystalline Dominion - The Crystalline Dominion sits at the heart of Valisthea, built around the tallest of all the Mothercrystals, Drake's Tail. Orthodox doctrine judges Dominants to be unholy abominations, and any unlucky enough to be born on the islands are executed. Isolated and aloof from the mainland nations, the Ironblood speak their own language. The Iron Kingdom controls Drake's Breath, the Mothercrystal that sits at the heart of one of their islands-long a source of contention with neighboring Rosaria. Here the Crystalline Orthodox, an extreme faith that worships crystals, reigns supreme. The Iron Kingdom - A small group of islands off the coast of Storm, the western half of Valisthea's twin realms. The Dominant of Titan, Eikon of Earth, is installed as a special advisor to parliament and has a significant say in its decision-making. Its Mothercrystal, Drake's Fang, is half-hidden in the heart of a mountain range-the republic's control over it, and its aether, securing the obedience of the large part of southern Valisthea. The Dhalmekian Republic - The Dhalmekian Republic is made up of five states, from which the members of its ruling parliament are drawn. Using the power of the kingdom's Mothercrystal, Drake's Spine, this new king has built up a mighty army, with which he now seeks to test the borders of his neighbors. The kingdom's control of the continent has oft been tested by the orcs and other beastmen who make their home there, but the current ruler of the realm-the Dominant of Odin, Warden of Darkness-has succeeded in quelling their rebellions. The Kingdom of Waloed - Waloed claims the entirety of Ash, the eastern half of Valisthea, as its dominion. The Dominant of Bahamut, Warden of Light, serves as the empire's champion, taking to the field in times of war to rout its enemies. The people happily take advantage of this, living in comfort and security under the watchful gaze of the Holy Emperor, whom they worship as the living incarnation of the one true deity. The Empire's holy capital Oriflamme is built around Drake's Head, the Mothercrystal that blesses the surrounding provinces with abundant aether. The Holy Empire of Sanbreque - Sanbreque is the largest theocratic force in Valisthea. The Dominant of the Phoenix, Eikon of Fire (Warden of Fire), is enthroned as Archduke when they come of age. Rosaria draws its aether from Drake's Breath, a Mothercrystal situated on a volcanic island off the coast. After years of relative prosperity, the duchy now finds itself threatened by the spread of the Blight-a threat that, left unchecked, would doubtless usher the realm to ruin. The Grand Duchy of Rosaria - Long ago, a group of small independent provinces in western Valisthea found strength in unity, and formed the Grand Duchy of Rosaria. Yet now the peace falters as the spread of the Blight threatens to destroy their dominions. Great powers have grown up around each Mothercrystal, and an uneasy peace has long reigned between them. For generations, people have flocked to these beacons to take advantage of their blessing, using the aether to conjure magicks that let them live lives of comfort and plenty. The land of Valisthea is studded with Mothercrystals-glittering mountains of crystal that tower over the realms around them, blessing them with aether.

That’s what director Hiroshi Takai stressed in the same post.Īs for release date information, Final Fantasy 16 is coming in summer 2023 for PS5. So it’s all polishing from here on out since Final Fantasy 16 is playable from start to finish already. Yoshida then says that the team is in the final leg of development. Not to mention epic clashes between the Eikons themselves that put you right in the action.” #Final fantasy xvi reveal full#
“Namely, high-octane battles featuring our protagonist Clive Rosfield wielding a full arsenal of attacks unique to the game’s many Eikons (summons). “In previous interviews and updates, we didn’t delve too deep into details about the game system, but hopefully with this preview, you all were able to get a better picture of what actual gameplay will entail,” Yoshida said via the PlayStation Blog.

No status update on the PC version yet, I’m afraid. Given that timed platform exclusivity deal, it likely is. It’s unclear if Final Fantasy 16 is running natively on PS5 here. My goodness, the graphics sure improved since that initial reveal years ago.
