Final Fantasy XVI (PC/PS5) - June 22, 2023

[Tyrath]

I was wondering if that may also be around when the final DLC is out

[Tymon]

Wouldn't surprise me at all if this was all timed in a way to release the PC version with the DLC all available immediately. Yoshi-P is neurotic enough to do that on purpose.

Leviathan DLC panel. Hopefully PC version info too

Pretty good QoLs... too bad it's sooo late

The roguelite mode looks neat

I haven't watched it yet. I never played many rogues/roguelikes/roguelites, etc, but GoW Valhalla's free DLC was my first interaction with anything like that that stood out and it was fun as hell. If it's half of what that was, should be a good time.

[Prothescar]

Honestly, and this is before anyone can play it and know for sure so grain of salt, this DLC seems to aim to "fix" the two big things people (including me) found lacking in the game:

-some unaddressed plot elements
-general lack of difficulty

The way it sounded makes it seem like this thing is really going to let the combat system stretch its legs which I'm all for.

Really hope SE doesn't just throw away this game's combat for future titles. It has a good base to work out of and iterate.

This and some tweaks from X-2 and XII to accommodate additional party members, nearly perfect honestly.

[Celeras]

I think it could be, but I don't know how anyone can say that definitively when you can sleepwalk through everything put in front of us so far. We have no idea what an actual fight would look like in that system.

They confirmed today that the XIV and XVI crossover will be "early April" and I *think* they will announce specific date tomorrow. And possibly the PC release date.

Early always means the first 10 days, so its either the 2nd or 9th.

[Tyrath]

April 18th already?! I don't even know if I'll beat FF7 by then lol

unreal hype though

Patch notes:

[Prothescar]

Made adjustments to when Torgal can be petted and lowered time before re-petting.

Very good

Yuge Torgal buff

So idk if anyone played the Rising Tides DLC so ill spoiler it

Spoiler: show

i know people wanted a new Levi song, but there were also people who wanted to here the original trailer song again. Thought it was a perfect compromise to hear it in the leviathan fight. Ended right where we started

First trailer to final DLC, one of the greatest video game experiences of my life. Nothing has come close in the awe factor since FFX for me. I can only hope that FFXVII will deliver the same way

[Obsidian]

My only real complaint with this game is the lack of enemy variety, and I guess to a lesser extent not enough beefy non-boss fights. The boss fights are fantastic, the mini-boss fights are mostly great, but the fodder fights are kinda unsatisfying.

Tremendous first attempt though, and a great base to build from for the next game.

[Tyrath]

Oh 100% the enemy variety was super lacking.

I want them to try again while refining this battle system but i have no idea what SE is planning with the next game. Dont think we're getting any more world of FF16
