Final Fantasy 16: update 1.31 increases damage and improves side quests – News

The appointment is therefore made on April 18 for update 1.31, including the patch notes (which will be available in French on this page in due time) promise above all an increase in the player's attack power, outside of certain battles between Primordials. In fact, a large number of Primordial skills have been the subject of a buff one way or another. We're not going to go into detail here, but remember that certain attacks gain power or range, while others see their recharge time accelerated. Among the Primordials who will emerge winners from this update, we find Garuda, Bahamuth, Shiva and Odin. These adjustments will undoubtedly be well received, not so much to facilitate the game as to shorten fights which tend to drag on unnecessarily in the face of too many HP bags in the bestiary.

Better for side quests

Death patch notessome may only remember “ adjusting when Torgal can be petted and reducing the time before he can be petted again “, but the changes made to side quests should also be unanimous. Starting with the “Quick Finish” feature which will relieve a lot of back and forth by offering the player the opportunity to teleport directly to the quest giver after completing the final objective of the quest in question. Square Enix even reworked the staging of certain quests, added additional scenes, increased the ability points obtained as rewards and repopulated the game's settlements with more NPCs. Suffice it to say that certain criticisms were not made in vain.

Other handy additions include the ability to freely assign functionality to controller buttons, save up to 5 shortcut skill sets (instead of the current 3) as well as improvements to photo mode. Finally, many bugs have been corrected and new musical scores will be available for the orchestrion. The update will be available on April 18 at the same time as the final chapter, “The Lament of the Surf”, which will give access to the Primordial Leviathan. More information on the official site of the extension.
