Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide is a thrilling adventure, even if the story beats don't quite measure up to the main game.
Due to the inclusion of a character from its main story, Final Fantasy 16's Rising Tide DLC is best experienced before finishing the base game.
I didnt play this game yet it will be next one i play.. good there is a DLC to enjoy
I really enjoyed this game. It was in my top 3 last year, but it begs the question, why did I make a day 1 purchase? I want to support games/franchises I enjoy by making a full price purchase at release. However, that decision often seems to be the wrong one from a consumer perspective.
It’s no wonder AAA gaming is beginning to struggle. I reward the developer by paying full price and then am expected to pay more again later for the full experience. I’m done being the sucker. From the consumer perspective, it seems to be a better decision to be patient and just wait for the full experience. It’s a better value and generally cheaper.
Genuinely happy for those who made the decision to wait, but I am not coming back to this game.
This stupid DLC is pretty much non canon as its events dont affect the ending at all.
Its even ignored because lorewise if this was canon then Ultima would use Levithan during the final cutscene just like all other Eikon powers. He does not.
The Rising Tide DLC offers great gameplay additions, a masterful Eikon fight, and a decent tie-in story to conclude FF16's experience.
That Leviathan fight was honestly one of the coolest boss fights I’ve played in any game. That and the Time Keeper were incredible… everything else was pretty mid as par for the course with this game.
Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide is a great expansion to an excellent action RPG, offering up one of the game's most intriguing and considered chapters. With yet more memorable boss battles, an emotional storyline, and some downright stunning environments, it's the worthy sendoff that Clive and company deserve.
That Leviathan battle might’ve been the greatest thing I’ve ever played/seen for a boss in any game, period. I don’t even like this game and I still think that was absolutely incredible to play.
