How co-op works

Up to three online players share main-story and side missions, replacing AI party members with human-controlled allies. Each keeps an independent job setup and receives individual loot, while the group coordinates aggro, buffs, healing, Break-gauge damage, and Soul Bursts.

About this game

Born from a collaboration between Square Enix and Team Ninja, this is a hard-edged reimagining of the original Final Fantasy conflict. You play as Jack Garland and his companions, hunting Chaos across a dark, punishing world that merges classic series lore with the precise, skill-testing combat Team Ninja is known for. The campaign can be tackled solo or with two others in full online co-op.

Combat revolves around a deep job system, break mechanics, and stamina-driven duels that demand timing and adaptation. Players swap jobs on the fly, combo abilities, and exploit enemy weaknesses to survive encounters that hit hard and fast. Co-op adds a layer of tactical depth as teams juggle aggro, chain Soul Bursts, and cover each other during cooldowns.

Online co-op supports drop-in matchmaking or private sessions, turning story missions and endgame hunts into coordinated raids. Communication and role awareness make the difference in boss fights, where one misstep can cascade into a wipe. Expect high-stakes teamwork and a learning curve that rewards coordination.
