Beat the DLC, I give it 9/10. The new location, bosses and music were amazing, but there was 1 part that was annoying as hell and poorly designed. And I don't really like the Leviathan Eikon abilities, they feel weak compared to others.

Also I just beat the Tonberry King in FF7 Rebirth last week. And I beat the Tonberry King in the FF16 DLC today, FF16's Tonberry King boss fight was 10x better.

Just finished FF16 Echoes of the Fallen DLC. Waited till both DLCs were out to play it. The final Eikon (after Leviathan) is amazing! I don't wanna say what it is, but it's easily the best Eikon in the game with the best abilities and makes it worth doing a new game+ run.

Hello.

After several months I restarted the hard rush for the platinum again... beat the Bahamut yesterday.
So very close to get that trophy.

But it feels that hard mode is too easy?

I mean except for taking way more time to kill the bosses and enemies overall (their HP are really big) you basically can't be killed even under leveled (I'm lvl 65 while bosses and enemies are at 74... after all I'm rushing without kill most of the things).

There is no challenge in the hard mode (well in any other mode too)... you don't even need to setup skills... to be fair you can kill everything easy dodging and hiting... I even realized yesterday that I was using the last weapons and armors form the end of the game in the previous mode....

I realized (yeap I realized near Bahamut battle... basically over half of the game without talking with seller/forge... and I just realized it because I was buying potions from Goetz lol) there are upgrade and new weapons/armor in the hard mode on NG+ that boosted my attack near 120 points (the sword I'm using has 545 atk and before I was using one with 395 atk or so)... even so it still takes several minutes to kill bosses and yellow bar enemies... and I stun them pretty fast with Shiva and Ramut end skills (using both basically reach near stum of any boss/enemy).

I finished up FFXVI a few weeks back. Really impressed with the game overall. Particularly the cinematic action was on a scale I hadn't experienced from other games.

In regards to their side-quest writing, I thought this entry was leaps and bounds above prior FF entries.

Finally got the platinum last week... after several breaks from the game.
I was surprised that I didn't remember the last part of the game (where you fighting the final boss).
It was so lackbuster that I forget what happened lol

About the NG+ on FF difficult.
It is brain dead easy... sorry it is too easy... I ended with lvl 82 I think and that was just running without kill enemies... the XP was from bosses and battles that could not be avoided to progress in the game.

And the history should be better whither the last part with Ultima... it was really without place on that game.
Having finished the game twice I can say my original 8.5/10 score was a bit better than I think about it now... it is more like a 8/10 game.

PS. I'm still waiting SE showing that they didn't overship the 3 million at launch... this game will be luck if reaches 5 million lifetime imo.

Yeah. For me the gameplay left a bit to be desired. Still fun from a cinematic perspective, but I felt myself using basically the same moves in all encounters.

The writing is better than like 90% of the other FFs tho in my opinion.

Gameplay is indeed repetitive... even more in hardest mode for platinum because the enemies are all sponges... seems like the difficult only increase their health... I didn't see difference in browser partners just more health too.
There is no elemental damage even the skills being elemental?
