Clive’s max level in Final Fantasy 16 is capped at 50
The final boss battle in Final Fantasy 16 is against a level 50 enemy. If you take the time to steadfastly complete all the side quests, engage in regular updates of weapons and attributes, this last boss battle as well as the ones leading up to it will most likely be a cakewalk for you. However, if you don’t want to full throttle toward the Final Fantasy 16 level cap, there are loads of immensely powerful weapons in the game. Using these can aid you in lower levels and create an engaging and fun gameplay experience.
To reach the level cap, you’ll have to focus on the story as well as combat, pay attention to various hidden items and quests in Valisthea and engage in dialogue with various NPCs. Merely completing the main storyline will not get you to level 50.
