What is the Final Fantasy 16 max level you can reach? As you explore Valisthea, you’ll amass experience points, which when they hit a certain number, automatically push Clive up to the next level, raising his HP, attack, defence, and stagger stats upwards. However, as with most levelling-based RPGs, there’s a cap beyond which any earned experience becomes redundant.

Based on our time completing the story and then some, we’ll outline everything you need to know about the Final Fantasy 16 max level and explain how you can get past it. If you’re looking to level up fast, check out all the Final Fantasy 16 Notorious Marks locations and brush up on all the Final Fantasy 16 quests, including side quests.

What is the max level in Final Fantasy 16?

The max level in Final Fantasy 16 is level 50 for your first playthrough, jumping to level 100 in New Game Plus mode on Final Fantasy difficulty. By following the main story, completing side quests, defeating Notorious Marks, and just generally taking out enemies as you explore, you should hit the Final Fantasy 16 level cap as you approach the final chapters fairly organically. If you’ve only done the story, you may well be quite far off the level cap, in which case, we recommend dabbling in some of the optional content for an XP boost.

New Game Plus mode, and the higher level 100 cap, unlock after you’ve unlocked the game for the first time. After the credits and final cutscene, you’ll be taken to the main title screen, where you can select New Game + from the options in the menu. After that select Final Fantasy Mode. Your level, weapons, gear, abilities, and gil all carry over to the New Game Plus playthrough.

That covers Clive’s Final Fantasy 16 max level. To help you reach it faster, make sure you’ve unlocked and equipped the best Final Fantasy 16 abilities and got the best Final Fantasy 16 combos down.
