ESTNN Writes - "The outplayed joke here is how can it be a Final Fantasy if there are so many of them. But considering that the franchise is going to celebrate its 35th anniversary this year, we could say that Square-Enix had a good run with it so far. There are countless Final Fantasy titles there, some of them frequently make the top 10 lists of the greatest video games of all time and we can say with certainty that it left quite a legacy behind."
The Nerd Stash: "Final Fantasy 16's DLC is a worthy adventure that adds a lot of jaw-dropping moments and more Hollywood-style fights to an already great RPG."

There is no Roleplaying/decision making in this game.
No crafting there isnt even character builds because just like Dante/Bayonetta Clive has all skills and loadouts available to him.
What do you mean there’s no role playing? Also, I’m fairly certain I made builds with Eikon abilities and I’ve gone to the blacksmiths to literally select craft weapons and gear. 🤷♂️
Let’s be honest, this isn’t a “great” RPG. I am in the camp that it IS an RPG, no DMC game I’ve played is designed like this… but in terms of being a great RPG… well, I much prefer the RE-Trilogy over this.
That being said, I do think the DLCs have probably the best boss battles I’ve played in a game. Omega was crazy and the battle theme just amplified that for me. In the other hand, I’m struggling to think of a game that has a boss battle as great as Leviathan. Like, I played it on FF mode and it was sooooo intense and just a gorgeous and fun experience. The music was also top notch!
However, I really disliked most of everything of FF16. The Benedikta arc was fantastic, but after that the game was boring and a slog to get through. I think the boss battles were the best parts, but also inconsistent for me. Bahamut was peak for the base game, but everything else didn’t surpass that experience until you play the DLC bosses.
The 2 DLC's were great. 2 new eikon ability sets (leviathan and...) and a survival/bloody palace mode with Rising Tide were great as well.
From the best abilities to their rotation in combat, learn everything that makes the best build to use in The Rising Tide DLC for FF16.
The Eikonic abilities for Leviathan are extremely fun to use and will allow you to best the toughest of bosses in FF16 The Rising Tide.
