The Final Fantasy series is one of the oldest and most well-known JRPG series, and each entry offers a fun single-player experience. Each Final Fantasy entry changes the formula, and Final Fantasy XVI continues that idea. You may be wondering if Final Fantasy XVI is single player or has co-op.
Does Final Fantasy XVI have multiplayer?
The answer is no – they exist no multiplayer or co-op in Final Fantasy XVI. Final Fantasy XVI is a single player experience and therefore does not support any multiplayer. You cannot play with friends or other players online or in local co-op. This also means that there are no crossplay features in Final Fantasy XVI either.

On the one hand, many players enjoy playing with a friend, but keeping Final Fantasy XVI single-player allows Square Enix to focus on developing an exciting and compelling story. As a result, you can fully enjoy the story and gameplay without worrying about another player getting in the way or getting ahead of you.
Players will notice a change in the Final Fantasy XVI single player experience: they cannot control their party. Instead, they will control Clive alone while their party members act independently. Many Final Fantasy fans will be used to turn-based combat or the newer real-time action combat, but Final Fantasy XVI will have a new approach to combat.
