The 16th installment of the series takes place in a land known as Valisthea, where one can find “colossal mountains of glittering crystal called Mothercrystals.” These Mothercrystals play an important role in helping this land thrive by supplying it with Aether.
FF XVI features three protagonists, namely Clive Rosfield, Joshua Rosfield, and Jill Warrick. Yoshida describes Clive as, “The firstborn son of the Archduke of Rosaria, Clive is a Shield who protects his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Phoenix. Joshua bestowed the Blessing of the Phoenix upon him, giving Clive the ability to wield a part of the Eikon’s fire.”
However, great tragedy befalls him as the story moves forward.

As for Clive and Joshua’s companion, we have Jill. She grew up with these two brothers as a part of the Rosfield family. However, the Northern Territories took her away from her homeland, to make her the ward of the Grand Duchy of Rosaria. The motive behind this was to ensure peace between the two realms.
From what we have gathered from the character synopses, the storyline certainly seems interesting. Final Fantasy XVI: Awakening will probably not release until late 2021, but now would be a good time to brush up on the previous titles in the series!
