A much better DLC than Echoes of the Fallen, The Rising Tide actually has a self-contained story which builds on the base game's story, versus just painting in some lore details. It also has a better & more distinctive location and newer gameplay hooks (i.e. a new Eikon to play around with). I appreciated a slightly meatier revisit to Final Fantasy XVI and I think many would find this to be a worthwhile endeavor.

Great addition to FF XVI! Very pretty.

This DLC is cool and all but it really feels like what it is: something that should have been in the main game but wasn't. There's even a scene at the end where Clive and Joshua debate over why this wasn't part of the plot and had to be saved for optional side content. The story isn't even anything particularly great, they even point out how one of the central plot points is basically something that already happened in the last DLC. Besides I kind of checked out of Final Fantasy 16's story after Twinside anyways and this was just a reminder of why.

That being said, I still had fun with this and that final Leviathan fight was glorious. Might try my hand at trying to complete a full run of that fancy new gauntlet mode in the future, but for now, I think I'm kind of checked out for this game. This would have been fine if it were just somewhere in the middle of the main campaign, but as this final swan song for Final Fantasy 16, it's kind of a disappointment.

Quality DLC. Good amount of content to send of FFXVI

Un DLC que me ha gustado más de lo que esperaba. Una historia que está bien, muy típica de lo que le gusta al equipo de Yoshi-P y con unos combates muy muy guapos.
Este DLC me ha hecho que me guste más el XVI de lo que ya me gustaba y que será una entrega que echaré de menos aun más por sus personajes, mundo, combate y música
Adiós final fantasy XVI :(

There’s a lot of content in “The Rising Tide” for the price and if you’re still playing XVI, then it’s worth the price alone just for added hour count of things to do. Mysidia is a neat place to explore and has some fascinating back history behind it, but I found the main campaign to be poorly written and kinda kiboshed the ending of the main game which I personally liked a lot. And the Leviathan fight that highlights this package is a frustratingly difficult fight that feels unfair and untested.

i really love ff16 bro, this dlc was awesome

surprisingly good! holy shit i just enjoyed an ffxvi product, the new eikons are fun and interesting to play around with the new map looks nice and the eikon fight was great. bravo yoshida you have finally made a single player product i can call good.
