I loved 16 and honestly I enjoyed 15 much more than I really should have. Both games are better than the sum of their parts. The new 16 dlc was a fun way to spend an evening and I'm looking forward to this.
Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide releases April 18, 2024

I doubt they would completely change the ending. The main points of the ending are completely clear already. Some of the stuff that is up to interpretation can be expanded a little, but the most I'd expect if they added anything is little additions and not some sort of complete overhaul.
They both take place right before the final area of the the main story.
Those stupid fangs and hides he keeps picking up will finally have some use!
To me that looks like the same place you fight Ultima but lets see lol
I absolutely cannot wait. New modes, new bosses, areas. Damn. I'm so incredibly excited.
Same. I'm waiting for Alan Wake 2 DLC as well. Gonna be great to go back to these games.

You should probably rewatch the fight then, cause the skyboxes in the Ultima fight are basically featureless voids whereas there's a lot going on behind winged Clive and it's also clearly underwater.
Hoping for an ending change but I'm fairly skeptical. But also, if it wasn't happening, I feel like Yoshi-P should've said something in this panel cause that's the natural assumption most people are jumping to from a shot like that. I know he apparently said it wasn't happening in a recent interview, but he does straight up lie sometimes, so...
I've replayed the trailer countless times, just to hear this damn song. It's beautiful.
I know the game isn't everyone's cup of tea but I fucking love it so much. Can't wait to get into this one
Oh no, I probably still won't be done with Rebirth by this time this DLC releases, at the pace I'm going. Was kinda hoping this would be later in the year. Looking forward to it, though! I'll be happy to see Joshua again.
Guess i remembered wrong woops
The game really does that on its own if you know the ending
Clive evidently dies because he didnt have all of the eikons, it almost makes no sense something doesn't change about the ending because of it.
That's one theory. It was vague and left open to interpretation.
Also, none of this stuff happens in the original game, so it's a retcon interjecting it before the main story ends and changing the ending. And less than a year after the original game is out too.
I think it'll be Diabolos since they randomly had the director name drop it as his favourite summon.
The game looks so good when there is no purple filter after a certain event... Seriously, what were they thinking with that design choice.
Monolithsoft rised the bar with xenoblade dlc, miyazaki Will best them imho
Dat last shot of the trailer.
I had a theory at the end of XVI that Clive was unable to contain Ultima's power because he didn't have every eikon, as Mythos was designed for. Though it seemed strange that Ultima was ready and willing to take over his vessel given that he should have known this... Anyways, I totally see the potential for an alternate ending here.

Yoshida already said that the dlc wont change the ending: https://www.gameinformer.com/preview/2024/03/08/dlc-dose-of-leviathan
i think it would actually be bad writing if they made a "good" ending that you can only get by buying enough DLC
Was going to happen with XV and already happened with KH3
Yup and it would feel like they're just making it up as they go along instead of actually having a story/vision they wanted to tell. Like every year "oh what about this isn't that a better ending instead?". Comes off like fan fiction.
This would be a weird thing to directly lie about. I think at most the dlc will add an extra scene to the final boss.
If you can retcon events that occurred before the ending you can retcon the ending, too. Easily actually.
I just don't see how the ending doesn't change when the reason Clive can't handle the power is he isn't a complete Mythos.
But I again feel like a massive ending change shouldn't be locked behind paid DLC...so I clearly don't know what I want.

They didn't confirm that and it's open to interpretations. There's many theories out there on the ending.
It could also just extend it. Add Leviathan to the last fight. Add scenes showing everyone surviving. That's technically not changing the current ending lol.
If that's not the case then I don't really see the point of Leviathan and the emphasis placed on him absorbing all the Eikons.
But maybe the DLC will explain that.
I ripped the environments clip shown off for the DLC from the panel. Super low bitrate unfortunately.

This part of the game never made any sense to me. To the point I questioned if Clive was truly Mythos at all. Mythos was supposed to be the perfect vessel and Clive was very clearly imperfect since he was missing an Eikon.
Many games have multiple endings lol, its not really that shocking and Im not sure why this is being treated any differently.
I've no doubt that Clive could have absorbed and utilized Levi's power... so it's more so the plan seemed imperfect, since Leviathan was "Lost" and Mythos was incomplete due to this. Clive was Mythos, the perfect vessel, even before he absorbed his first Eikon. Though I'm sure this DLC will answer some questions as to what the lack of Leviathan meant for the overall plan and what Ultima would have had to do to obtain the final piece... most likely. But it still doesn't answer what would have happened if Ultima entered the incomplete Mythos on his own accord, as he tried to do multiple times throughout the game. You would imagine he would have died like Clive seemed to, but who knows lol
