The final expansion that actually feels like an expansion compared to last time, TRT expands the world by adding a new area to explore filled with new story elements, side quests to complete and an entirely new ability set to master.

The story revolves around the last Eikon that was mentioned but never found in the base game, Leviathan. It cleverly expands the lore, answering questions which were left hanging originally, and the whole scenario was very creative and visually stunning. However I did find it a shame that there wasn’t any further character development for the main cast, besides Ultima anyway.

The gameplay is standard FF16 except you have a new area to run around in and an entirely new ability granted by Leviathan which greatly expands your long distance combat and dodging ability. I personally loved it, for something that’s been added in later, it feels like a very natural expansion of the moveset, and led to some exhilarating combat encounters and of course brilliant boss fights.

The final fight against Leviathan is incredible, the fight is not only challenging, but a visual marvel that I couldn’t take my eyes off. Side content is fairly lacking here but I wasn’t really expecting much, side quests are the same sort of stuff you’d see in the base game, and while they do expand the world, they aren’t much special.

I suppose my only real complaint is the length, while a good 6-7 hours doing everything, I was hoping it would be a little longer. Still this was great, and was a fitting end to FF16 - 8/10
