Four months into 2024 and there have already been a lot of big games we'll continue to talk about and play throughout the rest of the year and beyond. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is unquestionably one of those games, not only because its story and side content comfortably provide players with more than 100 hours of things to do, but because its characters are some of the most beloved in all of gaming. Bring Arts models of some of those characters have now found their way onto Amazon, and the wait you'll have for them to arrive further demonstrates we'll be talking about Rebirth for a while yet.
Final Fantasy 16 Patch 1.31 Out Now on PS5, Brings Big Damage Buffs for Clive, Better Side Quests, and Much More | Push Square
19.04.2024 - 05:33 / pushsquare.com
Update: Final Fantasy 16 update 1.31 is available to download now on PS5, ahead of The Rising Tide's release on the 18th April. It weighs in at 2.8GB, and you can read the full patch notes below, in the original article.
Original Story: Square Enix has published the patch notes for Final Fantasy 16's next update, which is set to drop on the 18th April alongside The Rising Tide DLC. They're surprisingly lengthy, and cover a lot of stuff that was never actually mentioned by the developer upon the update's announcement last month.
Key additions include the option to completely customise the control scheme, and save skill loadouts, while the game's photo mode has been expanded with new settings and visual flairs. On top of that, some welcome — and somewhat significant — improvements have been made side quests, and it looks like the team has taken to rebalancing the action RPG's combat system. Most notably, it seems to have increased Clive's damage output pretty much across the board. Interesting.
You can get the full scoop via the patch notes below.

Did you expect the next Final Fantasy 16 patch to cover this much stuff? Be tempted to start a brand new playthrough in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
«Made adjustments to when Torgal can be petted and lowered time before re-petting.»
This is the most important change. That dog is adorable.
Great changes needed for Wings of Light and Blind Justice but it sucks they didn't do anything for Odin's feat and its single combo. Like they couldn't have added in at least an R1, R2 combo? Well we at least have both Clive's Leviathan eikon and other unknown ability that is supposedly similar to Dante's SDT which I'm excited for.
I'm going to have to replay this. Again.
Pretty pumped for this to be the first game I play on PS5 Pro later this year. Good to see so many improvements!

Aight… I'm jumping back in. Just got my Portal so a couple hours starting tonight sounds splendid!
This is really good timing for me. I'm just trophy chasing in DD2 at this point.
Much needed photo mode improvements!!!
More cutscenes for side quests? I'm going to have to play it again at some point aren't I? 3rd playthrough here we go!
Any chance of patching in a stable frame and stable

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide Review (PS5) | Push Square
The Rising Tide is the second and final expansion for Final Fantasy 16, adding another worthwhile chapter to the tale of Clive Rosfield. Only accessible near the very end of the base game, this DLC is designed to be something of a sendoff for the action RPG, providing a new storyline that brings additional weight to the title's world building, while also giving players an opportunity to dive yet deeper into 16's slick combat system.
