Square Enix released the final DLC expansion for Final Fantasy 16 today. Entitled "The Rising Tide," this paid DLC adds new story quests, battles, sidequests, weapons, accessories, a higher level cap, and more.
This expansion follows the first paid DLC for the game, Echoes of the Fallen. You can get both of these DLC releases as part of the Final Fantasy 16 Expansion Pass or you can just purchase them separately.
The Rising Tide release comes alongside a new title update for the game that brings it up to version 1.31. This update includes a number of quality of life improvements.
The Rising Tide unlocks an all-new story, battles, sidequests, weapons, accessories, level cap and more, adding a new depth to Clive’s journey before the exciting conclusion of FINAL FANTASY XVI. Players will gain new Eikonic abilities, explore a beautiful new area in the hidden land of Mysidia, and dive into battle against the legendary water Eikon, Leviathan the Lost. The new DLC also adds brand new end-game content with the Kairos Gate, where players will challenge 20 stages of intense scored and ranked battles against waves of enemies.
