What are Timely Accessories in Final Fantasy XVI?

Timely Accessories in Final Fantasy 16 are combat accessories that are meant to regulate the overall difficulty of the game. The idea of Timely Accessories is to make the game more accessible to players who have very little experience in the genre.

The Timely Accessories are divided into 5 parts, and each has its own function. Each of these has been discussed below in brief:

  • Ring of Timely Evasion: This Timely Accessory removes the need for dodging in Final Fantasy XVI. This will ensure that Clive evades all enemy attacks on his own.
  • Ring of Timely Focus: This Timely Accessory slows down time for the player. Once activated a circular ring appears and you must press evade before it disappears.
  • Ring of Timely Strikes: This Timely Accessory is your auto combo system where Clive will be able to perform complex offensive moves with the single press of a button.
  • Ring of Timely Assistance: This Timely Accessory makes pet commands automated. You will not have to focus on Torgal and he will respond depending on your movements and decisions.
  • Ring of Timely Healing: This Timely Accessory ensures that you will heal automatically whenever your health goes down. Your healing potion management will become automated.

Hence, it is quite clear that the Timely Accessories make the combat automated in Final Fantasy XVI. This is ideal for newer players, though veterans will probably look to steer away from the idea. However, using the Ring of Timely Strikes might give you an idea of the potential of the combos in Final Fantasy XVI.
