At PAX West 2023, Square Enix announced a Final Fantasy XVI free update with character costumes will be available as on September 2, 2023. This update is twofold in terms of cosmetic options. Five characters get new looks. In addition, there will be weapon skins for Clive.
Editor's Note: There will be spoilers for Final Fantasy XVI characters when the patch adding costumes is discussed.
While the weapon skins were shown briefly, the presentation did involve a brief glimpse at them. The skins are essentially glamour options. So if someone liked one of Clive's past swords, they can choose its appearance, but use a more powerful one. There will also be an Onion Sword weapon to get after the patch is installed.
With the outfits, there are five designs. Only three were named in the trailer. Here are the Final Fantasy XVI characters getting outfits in the free update:
- Ambrosia
- Clive Rosfield: Burnt Black
- Jill Warrick: Snow White
- Joshua Rosfield
- Torgal: Icy Blue
Square Enix also shared the full trailer for the new content. It also cites additional improvements to the game, but didn't detail all the specific changes.
