All Final Fantasy 16 (FF16) Dominants

You'll encounter many on Clive's path for vengeance.

In Final Fantasy 16 (FF16), there are several characters, factions, and powerful humans known as Dominants, who control monstrously powerful beings called Eikons. According to the lore of Io, the Creator who made the Element’s Eikons, there are eight Eikons in total, all of whom serve as the Keepers of the One Law.

Here’s everything about Dominants and who they are in Final Fantasy 16.

What are Dominants in Final Fantasy 16?

In Final Fantasy 16 (FF16), Dominants are people born to host an Eikon within themselves. Like the Summoners from past games, Dominants can use the godlike power of their Eikon to control their element and summon their true form into Valisthea.

They also have a half-form where they only take on a portion of their Eikon’s appearance. Many nations in Valisthea see Dominants as incredible beings to be used for war, and others view them as abominations to be killed on sight.

Clive Rosfield is the first son of House Rosfield and the main character in Final Fantasy 16. Although the Phoenix didn’t choose him, he was blessed to wield some of its fire. By the end of Final Fantasy 16, players can use the power of three Eikons and switch between them. But Clive is Dominant of Ifrit.

Jill Warrick, introduced to us in the prologue as a ward of the Rosaria Duchy, was raised alongside Clive and Joshua. However, after the fateful night at Phoenix Gate, she was captured, and her powers were used for war. Jill is seen in her alternate form at the start of Final Fantasy 16 wielding ice at the Titan, as she’s the Dominant of Shiva.

Cidolfus Telamon, or Cid, is the Dominant of Ramuh. Cid leads a group of people who protect Dominants, Bearers, and other citizens. If you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings like myself, you’ll notice his Dominant resembles Gandalf, but with more humor.

Benedikta Harman: Dominant of Garuda

Benedikta Harman is the Dominant of Garuda, the Warden of Wind. As the leader of Waloed’s intelligence force, she is a force to be reckoned with, and you will battle against Benedikta and Garuda multiple times as Clive searches for the Dominant who supposedly killed his brother. 

Hugo Kupka: Dominant of Titan
