Why Does Final Fantasy 16 Have A Level Cap?

The game mechanics for leveling up in Final Fantasy 16 play a vital part in the immersive experience in the game as it offers stat boosts that can help you tackle the strongest of the bosses in the game. One could argue that by limiting the maximum level possible, the developers at Square Enix could provide more replay value, as it would be unfair if you could eventually one-shot every foe by endlessly scaling.

Max Possible Level Attainable

You start at level 10 (base level) as Clive in the game, which is why it may initially come as a shocker that the maximum possible attainable level in the game is 50.

Now, hold on, even if you may be half a century of stat boosts away from standing on the summit of power – I will warn you of the difficulty of the journey as it is by no means an easy feat.

Clive caps off at the same level as the game’s world. That means the maximum possible level for the monsters is also 50.

Remember, you do not need to get to level 50 to beat even the hardest bosses in the game. You can supplement your natural stat boosts by leveling up with equipment to boost your stats.

The ‘New Game +’ Mode

It is possible to go beyond level 50 in the game – beyond the summit to an incredible feat of attaining level 100.

It becomes possible through the game’s ‘New Game Plus’ mode, which enables players to start the journey once again but with all their progress throughout their first run. It is a given that you must finish the game at least once before accessing this mode.

Whether you love the Final Fantasy franchise as a die-hard fan or just want to hunt down all the trophies, this addition to the Fantasy experience will surely add so much more value to your experience.

My Tips For Reaching The Level Cap

Stay Resilient: Finish your quests and side quests completely to ensure you earn as many experience points as possible and useful rewards to help you progress in the game.
Familiarize yourself with Clive: If you want to master the game, you have to master Clive. This inadvertently means you have to grind hard. Hit the grinding spots and train hard to level up more often and master every move possible.
Keep Exploring! Do not get complacent with just doing the bare minimum to progress through the game.
Strategize: Do not mindlessly button smash through the entire game. Equip accessories that can help you get more experience points out of the fights you participate in. Be smart in your approach!

Even though Final Fantasy 15 was well known for its DLC content, the sixteenth installment seems to have no plan yet for any DLCs. But the game is still young. Even then, where and when Clive reaches the peak does not necessarily dictate the journey’s end. The grind to hit the maximum level in the game will be a worthwhile and fulfilling experience for die-hard enthusiasts and trophy hunters alike.
