Check out all the different types of Vambraces you can equip in Final Fantasy 16.
While you need strength to challenge godly opponents, you must also work on your defenses to withstand the most deadly attacks. After all, you can’t go up against all the Eikons in Final Fantasy 16 if you lack the endurance to finish your quest to save the world.
