A solid piece of DLC with a respectable amount of extra content. Coming off of FFVII: Rebirth, FFXVI feels more constrained in its battle system and side quests than before though it's still a fun time.
The new playstyle for Leviathan's Eikonic abilities feels fresh and different from the others'. Speaking of Leviathan, I must say I was a bit disappointed in how its Eikon battle played out... which is to say, almost exactly how you'd think it would. It didn't feel as hype or exciting as the main game's Eikon battles or even the Omega battle from the first DLC. There were parts that were quite frustrating too xwx
The additional story and lore was interesting. Liked Shula and other characters, and it has some touching moments in its short runtime. As far as it being the last piece of FFXVI though... I felt like it left some things to be desired .w. I guess I wish it had explored more of the main characters' background events (like Joshua or Jill's) rather than focusing on on new ones, but eh, I think it was good either way.

A fantastic game in its own right, but felt underwhelming throughout. Ultimately felt like too much of a tiring retread of the same 130 hour game, the Depths are incredibly empty, and the building based shrines felt far less focused than BoTW. Contrary to most, the Sky Islands were my favorite part of the game
