Final Fantasy 16 Hideaway

Arete Stone
Whether you’ve just upgraded or purchased new gear, or looking to fine-tune your combat skills, the Arete Stone is a great place to practice your fighting skills. Featuring an arcade mode that allows you to reach high scores or a simple training area for perfecting your combat abilities, the Final Fantasy 16 Arete Stone is a great place to practice without any worries of meeting an untimely death.
Side quests
There’s a variety of people and Final Fantasy 16 characters to meet within the Hideaway, and some may offer you side quests to complete with various rewards.
