Typical of the long-running series, Final Fantasy XVI has some downright gorgeous artwork behind it. In fact, it's so good that we've decided to gather it all on a single page for your perusal. Below, you'll find all of the officially released Final Fantasy XVI artwork so far, most of which has been beautifully drawn by the game's character designer, Kazuya Takahashi.
Final Fantasy XVI actually takes place across several decades, as the story follows protagonist Clive Rosfield through his teens, twenties, and thirties. This art shows a youthful Clive alongside his younger brother, Joshua.
From left to right: Joshua Rosfield, childhood friend Jill Warick, and Clive Rosfield as teenagers.
A group depiction of Joshua, Clive, and Jill. Joshua is holding Torgal, the Rosfield family's loyal dog — or puppy, at this point.
From left to right: An older Clive, an older Jill, and Cidolfus 'Cid' Telamon. Cid is one of Clive's allies.
Puppy Torgal and mature Torgal. As a fully-grown war hound, Torgal can join Clive in battle.
From left to right: Benedikta Harman, Hugo Kupka, Barnabas Tharmr, and Dion Lesage. Like Clive, Jill, and Cid, all of them are 'Dominants' — people who possess the powers of god-like entities known as Eikons.
Two city landscapes from Final Fantasy XVI. The game's nations are both fuelled and protected by giant crystals, which feature prominently in these artworks.

You get a dog? I’m in.
The artwork for this game is absolutely amazing, I love looking at it
Torgal looks like a real good boy!
Square Enix always have great art. Even their lower budget games like Valkyrie Elysium and DioField show this
The art for this game is phenomenal. So much so that it's depressing we don't get the Japanese box art here in the states. I really hope there's a reversible cover with the JP art in the back cause I'm changing it in a heartbeat
I adore adult Clive's and Benediktas designs
This game will surely be an extraordinary graphical showcase. Can't wait to play it.
Benedikta Harman, Hugo Kupka, Barnabas Tharmr, Dion Lesage, Cidolfus Telamon and Clive.
@Mattock1987 But can you pet the dog?
Game of the year!
Looks incredible.as someone who also draw a lot.i appreciate that beautiful final fantasy 16 artwork.word up son
Every pic is bright blue mid day skies yet every vid is pitch black middle of the night. Are we sure this is FF16 art? 🤷
That's so SE, I like them.
Absolutely amazing.
@NEStalgia there’s a question we need answering. I reckon you will be able to
@Mattock1987
Yoshi P confirmed it and said he wants people to pet Torgal to see his cute expressions.
Looking forward to the game, ish, but not loving the art style. Very dull western. Benedikta Harman Looks OK, if a bit Squall-like, the rest not so much.
Can you transmog the dog as a puppy and have him as a beast in battle? Now that would be cool.
Only if You like Asian-style
Awwwwwww Puppy Torgal!!!!! I'll buy two copies now so I can pet him with two hands!
Preordered with no reservations. The only game other than God of War: R I can say that with a clear conscience
It's pretty generic. I mean it looks like the art work for every Square game in the past couple of years. You could interchange these characters with the characters from triangle strategy or deofield chronicle easily. None of them have any real charm of their own.
@NEStalgia yes u can and different things happen when u do so the devs want u to do it multiple times
I like both puppy torgal and grown up torgal very good design
Pumped. It will be my summer jam.
They're quite nice but my favourite are still Akihiko Yoshida's artworks and character designs for SE games.
I have not been interested in this series since the tenth entry, but I saw a trailer for this day of the day and it's a day one purchase for me. Everything about it looks incredible.
Beautiful artwork as always!
Final Fantasy artwork is always amazing!
Final Fantasy themes were some of the best themes on PS4!
Finally a none cringe jrpg
I cant take the "Jessie, you owe me a pizza" writing anymore.
yup, i dig it alot. doesnt look weeb or anime at all but more like a alternate reality fantasy .
Man I really can't wait for the game, the (political) setting and story somehow reminded me of final fantasy tactics
Square need to try something out of the box like they did with FF7, its the same old recycled art style and stories retold over and over 7 was the only one that was real dark and had balls.
@nomither6 Anime is a varied medium in terms of both style and substances, so stop generalizing it as bad.
@rachetmarvel like i said , it doesn’t look weeb or anime to me & i don’t care how you see it . don’t tell me how to think & i won’t tell you to stop lumping every animation with some realism as anime .
