FINAL Fantasy 16 has just released its second and final DLC known as the Rising Tide.
This one focuses on a new Eikon Leviathan, and your journey to take down and save it.
The main game had moments that made it feel like a GOTY competitor but over the 60-hour runtime it began to drag.
This new DLC hopes that you fondly remember the base game and delivers you a whole lot more of it.
Like Final Fantasy 15's DLC, the DLC for FF16 adds new playable characters and new mechanics to the game.
Just like how FF7 Remake Intergrade introduced Yuffie and all of her combat abilities, introducing Leviathan means more combat abilities in your arsenal.
Leviathan's power is based around water, and the enemies will struggle to get close to you with these powerful ranged attacks.
Fans of FF16 will enjoy how Rising Tide subtly adds to the game's lore, and in fact adds to the series lore as a whole.
The introduction of the village of Mysidian people slots in nicely with the story of the main game, with small details making it feel a true part of the original world.
We hoped that Jill would get a little more screen time for development, but she only steps forward for a small part of the DLC.
This was one of our main observations in our original review. FF16 has a number of excellent characters, but it never gives them the room to breathe.
The pacing is the other issue we had which The Rising Tide doesn't fix.
If you didn't like the main game, then there is nothing in The Rising Tide that will convince you it's a game worth playing.
However, it has considerably more content than the first DLC, Echoes of the Fallen, but it is all part of the same package.
If watching Clive Rosfield defying the gods is what you're into then there is plenty of that here.
