Final Fantasy XVI is the latest entry in the Final Fantasy series and one I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time. I love the stories in the Final Fantasy series, but I also appreciate the gameplay. However, sometimes difficulty can make it hard to enjoy the narrative in Final Fantasy games. This may leave you wondering about the different difficulties in FFXVI.
Story Mode vs. Action Mode - FFXVI
Other than the unlockableFinal Fantasy mode, FFXVI has two main difficulty settings. These are Story mode and Action mode, or easy and normal mode, respectively. Both are fine ways to play the game but offer different experiences. Here is the difference between Story and Action mode.
What is Story Mode in FFXIV?
Story mode can be described aseasy mode. Players are given a set of accessories that make the game easier, which are automatically equipped in this game. The Timely Accessories will allow you to chain combos together with the single push of a button, slow down time to make dodging easier, and more. This mode allows you to enjoy FFXVI’s story without worrying about mastering combat.

What difficulty should I choose in FFXVI?
Ultimately, this is up to you. While story mode will make the game easier, I found action mode easy enough to play without becoming frustrated. You may experience difficulty spikes as you play, but I recommend playing in action mode before jumping straight into story mode. That said, you canchange the difficulty at any timein FFXVI.
