  • Tap R1/L1 to reach the System Settings menu.
  • Select the top Save option.
  • Tap the Create Saved Data File.
  • Wait a couple of moments and the game will be saved.

Once the game is saved, you’ll see the manual save as a Player Save in the list below, detailing your level, Eikon abilities, difficulty level, and what story quests you are currently on. These details should help with finding older saves. To load a save in Final Fantasy 16, the process is very much the same up until you hit the System Settings menu. Instead of tapping save, select load, then choose the save you want to load up.
