One will allow players to switch the weapon that the main character Clive uses to other weapon skins while retaining the same stats as the current weapon he holds.

The other new cosmetic feature will allow players to switch out the outfits for Clive and other characters to alternate outfits.

The news about the update, the upcoming PC version, and the paid DLC packs, comes a few weeks after Square Enix reported that sales of Final Fantasy XVI, which launched in late June, did not meet the publisher"s expectations. Square Enix blamed the slower adoption of the PS5 console as part of the reason for the lower sales.
