Square Enix has published the patch notes for Final Fantasy 16's next update, which is set to drop on the 18th April alongside The Rising Tide DLC. They're surprisingly lengthy, and cover a lot of stuff that was never actually mentioned by the developer upon the update's announcement last month.
Bobby writes, "Final Fantasy 16 — The Rising Tide is a great expansion but it's on the short side."
The Nerd Stash: "Final Fantasy 16's DLC is a worthy adventure that adds a lot of jaw-dropping moments and more Hollywood-style fights to an already great RPG."
I don't know about ''great'' rpg.
Most epic fight sequences and presentation? Yes
Worst side quests ever? Yes
Boring traversal? Yes
Empty worlds? Yes
Demo is infinitely more mature than the actual game? Yes
FF16=MMO side quests + Devil May Cry Lite
There is no Roleplaying/decision making in this game.
No crafting there isnt even character builds because just like Dante/Bayonetta Clive has all skills and loadouts available to him.
Let’s be honest, this isn’t a “great” RPG. I am in the camp that it IS an RPG, no DMC game I’ve played is designed like this… but in terms of being a great RPG… well, I much prefer the RE-Trilogy over this.
That being said, I do think the DLCs have probably the best boss battles I’ve played in a game. Omega was crazy and the battle theme just amplified that for me. In the other hand, I’m struggling to think of a game that has a boss battle as great as Leviathan. Like, I played it on FF mode and it was sooooo intense and just a gorgeous and fun experience. The music was also top notch!
However, I really disliked most of everything of FF16. The Benedikta arc was fantastic, but after that the game was boring and a slog to get through. I think the boss battles were the best parts, but also inconsistent for me. Bahamut was peak for the base game, but everything else didn’t surpass that experience until you play the DLC bosses.
The 2 DLC's were great. 2 new eikon ability sets (leviathan and...) and a survival/bloody palace mode with Rising Tide were great as well.
From the best abilities to their rotation in combat, learn everything that makes the best build to use in The Rising Tide DLC for FF16.
Whoa! That is a lot. I think it’s time for me to replay in Final Fantasy mode
This perfectly exemplifies why I choose to wait quite a while to buy ‘new’ games. This meaty patch basically makes the game an improved experience overall from what it originally was. My first impression and experiences of the game will arguably be ‘better’ than it would have been otherwise.
Have there been any improvements to the performance mode in recent updates? The game seemed great, but I wasn't pleased with the way it looked in performance mode. I'm hoping there is a major Pro update.
Looking to grab this in the future...not yet though..too much to play
No minigames?
No playable party members?
No fixing the boring environments?
No actual rpg mechanics?
This turd polish 'patch' is just a scam now.
