Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen Review (dreadead)
Wow the Crystal Tower Sagespire is a lot different from what I remember *wink wink*
I'd recommend just getting this bundled with 'The Rising Tide' DLC if you didn't buy the Complete Edition of XVI. Standalone I'm not sure this is worth $9.99 USD since it's fairly short and can be done in a single sitting.
Features:
- A fun dungeon that is an interpretation of something you've probably already seen if you're an FF fan in other games
- Varied boss fights
- New gear/accessories to acquire including a useful/strong glam weapon
- Some nice music
- Decent story that naturally ties into 16's world, this also ties a bit into The Rising Tide
- Lore that is both new and fills in some gaps of what already existed before
- Fun Easter Eggs for FF fans that pay attention and read between the lines as they play
The eScape/A Long Fall leitmotifs thrown in, and of course they found a way to fit Omega into 16 lol. Such is the folly of mankind and flying too close to the sun like Icarus.
