The Final Fantasy XVI team announced a new Arcade Mode leaderboard will be introduced at midnight Eastern Standard Time on December 8, 2023. Once the update is released and installed, new scores can’t be posted on the old leaderboard.
The change comes as the development team looks to revamp the Arcade Mode scoring system, although the specifics of these changes will be detailed closer to the update's release.
The Final Fantasy XVI Arcade Mode was a fresh feature in the world of main title Final Fantasy games and was influenced heavily by a similar mode in the Devil May Cry series. Players replay key combat instances in Final Fantasy XVI and receive completion scores based on their overall efficiency and performance. Being good enough to claim a top spot on the Arcade Mode leaderboard indicates awesome mastery of the game’s high-speed action combat.
