Looking for the best Final Fantasy XVI mods to enhance your experience? Then you're in the right place. Thanks to the game's release on PC, you can now tweak your gameplay with some fun, basic, and even iconic mods.
As per usual with a lot of ports, the FFXVI PC release was marred by some problematic performance issues. Thanks to some mods, however, you can not only customise your gameplay experience but also add in some fun visual improvements.
The following are Final Fantasy XVImods that include technical improvements, visual tweaks, and overall game performance.
Clive's Casual Clothes
The Clive's Casual Clothes Mod by Tenshiken1 has garnered lots of praise from the gaming community. With this mod, you can change Clive's regular combat gear, to something more casual and breezy. And clothes customisation is a fan favourite feature of most gamers.
You can change Clive's caped and belted daily wear, with a simple V-neck outfit. You can choose between a black and white shirt to suit Clive. Given how casual these outfit looks, FFXVI fans have already taken a lighting to this clever mod.
Clive Cape Removal
It's common to want mild changes in a game's protagonist's regular looks. That's why, the Clive Cape Removal mod by tenshiken1 is an instant hit among fans.
All this mod does is remove Clive's long cape from the daily look, without having any other effect on the Burnt Black outfit. Moreover, this is a beginner-friendly mod that makes very few changes to your gameplay.
Basic Difficulty
While Final Fantasy XVI is jam-packed with an immersive storyline, useful sidequests, and a picturesque world, the combat difficulty might be a little less challenging for a few, especially seasoned RPG players. With quick kills on bosses, fans of this game now hope to face more challenging contenders. Thankfully, there's a mod to take care of that.
Mod creator gladias9 has created a solution with the Basic Difficulty mod. Thanks to it, the enemies deal more damage and gain more attacking power. By surging the difficulty level, you can enjoy the boss fights and mob attacks to the fullest.
So, if you want your game to have more challenging quests, the Basic Difficulty Mod is for you.
Ifrit’s eyes on Clive v1.0
As you probably know by now, FFXVI's protagonist, Clive Rosfield, is the Dominant for the Eikon Ifrit. Hence, it's understandable that fans would like a semblance of Ifrit to appear over Clive's face- as a reminder.
Fortunately, tenshiken1 has understood this demand and has curated the Ifrit's eyes on Clive v1.0 mod. Using this, you can switch out Clive's regular humanoid eyes with Ifrit's fiery glowing eyes. After using the mod, Ifrit's eyes become a permanent feature of Clive, staying constant during his cutscenes, combats, and adventures.
Reduced Skill Cooldowns
Some of the skills from Final Fantasy 16 have a tad longer cooldown. Thankfully, the mods of FFXVI can tackle that. Akeela_Darchiev's Reduced Skill Cooldowns mod lets you tweak skill cooldowns, which fit your gameplay.
You can either go for the three-second cooldown to spam critical skills. Or, you can opt for the 50-second cooldown mod mode to make the game feel more challenging.
High Priority in CPU - DISK - RAM Processes
If your FFXVI game stutters too much, making the gameplay feel too clunky, it's time to get help from modding. The High Priority in CPU - DISK - RAM Processes by Gantz79.
By using this mod, the Game takes priority over all other processes for the Disk, CPU, Pagefile, or network. By doing so, the game has zero stuttering and freezing. So whenever you're booting up the game, it remains smooth throughout.
Natural Colors
If you're looking for a more visually realistic FFXVI gameplay experience, Creator, instanity has you covered. The Natural Colors mod changes the colours and lighting of every scene. Moreover, the mod also raises the sharpness and tweaks the game's visuals.
While Final Fantasy 16 has picturesque scene qualities, this mod allows us to go beyond and let everything look more realistic and immersive.
In short, if you're looking for ways to tweak your FFXVI gameplay with mods to improve and customise, then try out these mods today. They are easy to install and do not hinder the game's performance of your gameplay experience.
