Best swords in Final Fantasy 16
Despite the challenge of obtaining it, the Gotterdammerung is by far the best sword that you can obtain in Final Fantasy 16. It boasts a whopping 375 Attack and 375 Stagger, making it 35 whole points better than the next-highest option.
If you can't quite obtain the materials to craft the sword, however, then opting for the Defender +2 or Ragnarok swords are the next best alternatives, with 340 and 325 attack power respectively.

Best accessories in Final Fantasy 16
While your accessories can entirely depend on your ability choices in Final Fantasy 16, there are a couple that stands out as the best choices. There are no better general options than the Berserker Ring, which increases attack proficiency with precision dodges, and the High Cleric's Medallion, increasing your healing potency for high potions.
If you're following our guide on the best abilities and ability combinations in Final Fantasy 16, then The Pull of Darkness accessory is an essential option, as it will make those Zantetsuken's 25% easier to pull off.
As a bit of an outside choice, we highly recommend using the Ring of Timely Assistance, even if you're not wanting to necessarily make the game 'easier'. Torgal can be a bit of a pain to manage at points - especially when it comes to the game's most chaotic fights, so having it all done for you is incredibly helpful.
So, that wraps up this guide on the best gear in Final Fantasy 16, giving you plenty of options to equip if you're wanting to become overpowered.
