Here’s how you can do it, and the requirements you’ll need to meet before doing so.

Regalia mount requirements

In order to be eligible to participate, you must have purchased the full version of Final Fantasy XIV and leveled your character up to 50. If you’re new to the game and are jumping on board specifically for the Regalia mount, you can choose to play on a “preferred world” and immediately receive a level boost to 60.

You must also have completed the quest “The Ultimate Weapon,” which is the final quest in the “Eorzea Alliance” section of the main scenario. Given that you’re already a high level if you choose a preferred world, this shouldn’t take you too long, but it is located near the end of the main story.

Once you’ve met the prerequisite requirements, you will need to talk to the character Kipih Jakkya, who is located in the Ul’dah, Steps of Nald location – the coordinates are X:8.5, Y:9.7 if you get lost.

Kipih will give you the quest “The Man in Black,” which refers to Noctis, himself. Complete this quest chain, and once you’re received the rewards for the questline, head over to the Gold Saucer. It’s also located in the same area, and can be found at X:9.6, Y:9.0 if you happen to get lost.

The Ironworks vendor located inside will sell a few different items for the Manderville Gold Saucer points — or MGP — currency, including “Regalia Type-G Title.” This is what you need, and it will set you back 200,000 MGP.

You can receive a small amount of MGP purchased in exchange for Gil, which is the game’s standard currency. This is limited to your first 500, however, so you’ll have to do other activities to get the remaining MGP. These can include Chocobo racing, as well as completing your challenge log.

You can also try your luck with the Cactpot located within the Gold Saucer, though this is limited to only a few tickets per day or week, depending on the size. The mini Cactpot requires you to complete the “Scratch it Rich” quest first, while the jumbo Cactpop is accessible after completing the “Hitting the Cactpot” quest.

You likely won’t be able to get the required MGP to purchase the Regalia right away, but if you do it consistently over the course of a few weeks, you should have what you need.

Final Fantasy 16 Renown explained: what is Renown and how to earn it
Final Fantasy 16's cover showcasing its protagonist infront of two demon summons.

Every JRPG, and even games with RPG elements, likes to introduce new systems into the mix for you to learn and interact with. Most of the mechanics in Final Fantasy 16 will be familiar, like sidequests, upgrading gear, and unlocking abilities. However, later on, the game will introduce you to the Renown system once you take control of the Cursebreakers. This occurs once you reach the main hub of the game called Cid's Hideaway after going through the main story until you reach A Chance Encounter. While you might be feeling content ignoring this new mechanic and just pushing on with the main story, there are plenty of reasons to learn it. Here's a simple explanation of how the Renown system works in Final Fantasy 16.
What is Renown and how to earn it

Without spoiling much, after Clive takes on a certain mantle and is in charge of Cid's Hideaway, the Renown system will automatically be put into effect. This is meant to represent how much inspiration and support Clive has earned from the people of Valisthea in his cause and fight against the Blight. You can see how much Renown you currently have by visiting the Patron's Whisper and talking to Desiree.

Final Fantasy 16 Timely Accessories: what they are and how to equip them

Traditionally, Final Fantasy titles don't come with difficulty options. As the series has grown leading up to Final Fantasy 16, Square Enix has started to add some options to make the game more accessible to players. Considering this latest entry is more action-heavy than any that has come before, with advanced moves like perfect dodges and parries, these tools are more necessary than ever for longtime fans who prefer a more traditional JRPG experience. While the Timely Accessories can't turn this action game into a turn-based one like older entries, it can at least give you enough of an edge to feel comfortable getting through combat so you can enjoy the deep and complex story. Let's go over what these Timely Accessories are and how to equip them in Final Fantasy 16.
What are Timely Accessories?

Timely Accessories in Final Fantasy 16 are basically your difficulty modifiers, but instead of being menu options, they're items. These types of items have become a bit more common in the last few years and include the Chicken Hat from Metal Gear Solid V. This time, there are five different accessories that you can pick from, each of which modifies the game in different ways to give you an edge in combat. Here are all five of the Timely Accessories and what they do:
Ring of Timely Evasion
When equipped, Clive will automatically evade attacks, as long as the attacks can be evaded.
Ring of Timely Focus
When equipped, time slows before an evadable enemy attack strikes Clive. There's no effect when equipped with the Ring of Timely evasion.
Ring of Timely Strikes
When equipped, complex ability combinations can be executed by simply pressing the Square button.
Ring of Timely Assistance
When equipped, pet commands will be executed automatically based on Clive's actions.
Ring of Timely Healing
When equipped, healing potions will automatically be used when Clive's HP falls below a certain threshold. More common healing items like potions will be used before rarer ones like high potions.
How to equip Timely Accessories
When you first begin Final Fantasy 16 you will need to choose between Story and Action Focused modes. These technically also serve as your difficulty selection, but it's really just a simplified way of enabling the Timely Accessories. Regardless of which difficulty you choose, you will always have access to all these accessories and can switch at any time while playing (as long as you are not currently in combat).

How long is Final Fantasy 16?

JRPGs are notorious for being heavy time investments. Some, such as Persona 5 and other Final Fantasy entries, can easily go on for over 100 hours without adding in side content. On the other hand, there are some Final Fantasy games that lean on the shorter side. With Final Fantasy 16 taking a far more action-focused approach to combat, some might expect this to be a shorter entry, but that isn't necessarily the case. There are plenty of factors that will impact how many hours you spend in the world of Valisthea, so we'll give you a good idea of how long it will take you to complete Final Fantasy 16.
How long is Final Fantasy 16?

Just like any good JRPG, Final Fantasy 16 has a substantial main quest, as well as other optional activities you can take on if you want to get the most out of your experience. The main optional components are the sub-quests and board bounties to increase Renown. If you're just here for the story and ignore all the extras, you can expect around a 35-hour adventure with Clive all told. This isn't all pure gameplay, as about 11 of those hours are dedicated to cutscenes sprinkled throughout the adventure. Because there are quite a lot of sub-quests and bounties available, plus fully leveling up and unlocking all your skills, going for a full 100% completion run of the game will likely double your playtime to somewhere around 70 to 80 hours.
