The enormous world of Final Fantasy 16 is full of countless quests to do and items to collect, and among the latter includes a unique collectible called Signboards. If you’re looking to fill Clive’s chambers with plenty of memorabilia from his adventures, and are wondering how to get your hands on these, we’ve put together a nifty guide for all Signboard locations in FF16.
What Is a Signboard in FF16?
As you embark on more and more adventures throughout Final Fantasy 16, you’ll be able to collect some unique souvenirs along the way known as “Curiosities.” While they pertain to a variety of items, among them are circular little plaques called Signboards, which you can see above.
Each of these signboards is locked behind a different quest that you need to complete, and once you collect all six of them you’ll receive the trophy “And They Opened Up My Mind”. It will also contribute towards the more time-consuming “For the Hoard” trophy, which requires you to find all 22 qualifying curiosities for the Wall of Memories in Clive’s chambers.
