What is the Eikonic Challenge Mode?

Special Demo Content

Eikonic Challenge Mode is a special content only available in the demo version of the game. Although the events, gear, and abilities available in this mode are also included in the full game, certain adjustments are made to improve gameplay experience.

Set Hours Into the Main Story

FF16 - Benedikta in Eikonic Challenge Mode

The chapter selected for the Eikonic Challenge Mode is set several hours into the story, where you can see Clive in his thirties with an adult Torgal already allied with the rebel leader Cid.

Benedikta also mentioned before the final battle that it was the second time Clive defeated her "sisters", implying that Benedikta was already encountered way before this chapter chosen for the Eikonic Challenge Mode.

Timely Accessories are Usable

FF16 - Eikonic Challenge Mode equipment

A special set of equipment called Timely Accessories are also available in Eikonic Challenge Mode. These can make combat easier for those still getting used to the controls or those who just want to focus on mastering Eikon combos.

Timely Accessories are also included in the full game, and are automatically enabled when choosing the Story Focused difficulty.

Does Eikonic Challenge Mode Progress Carry Over?

Progress Won't Be Carried Over

FF16 - Dominant of Garuda

As the events and features in Eikonic Challenge Mode are far from what is available in the demo, progress made here won't be carried over to the full game.

Addiitonally, the manual save, autosave, and load functions are all disabled in this mode, so if you want to replay certain battles, you'll have to select Eikonic Challenge Mode again in the title menu and start over from the beginning.
