Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide releases April 18, 2024

They said itd be explained why the new zone wasnt affected by primogenesis
Agreed. To fully utilize Bahamut's Wings of Light, you had to taunt. It was clunky to use.
I think maybe there is some kind of shield generator in place (look at all those light beams) creating a magic barrier. Maybe Mysidian magic related. Or maybe they actually siphon aether to power something up, preventing the floods.
Wasn't the XV one more of a what if alternate ending as opposed to a replacement for what we got?
I love them both too and I think they actually compliment each other very well. I do wonder, however, what the reception for XVI would have been if it released AFTER Rebirth. Making the messaging super clear that it was not open world, just super story focused and action oriented.
I actually think it would have done better, with people getting their minigames and open world fill with Rebirth and then setting them on a more serious, linear adventure with beautiful visual spectacle and smooth action combat. People will always draw comparisons but XVI has stuff that Rebirth doesn't have and vice versa. Together, they make for an incredible 1-2 FF punch in less than a year. And then Dawntrail!
Yeah and his comments that the ending doesn't change can still be true even if we get a new ending. Adding something doesn't mean changing something. I didn't mind the current ending and look forward to the DLC.
I still think the secret fight for the Not Bloody Palace is Diabolos.
I wonder if Rebirth could have affected Gilgamesh's chances.
They were talking about Diabolos a bit in the event for this...
I'd like to see Shinryu to follow up on Omega though, if Gilgamesh is off the table.
The director was asked what is favourite summon in the series was and he said Diabolos.
Also worth noting that, given the obvious connection, Diabolos is not a Primal/Eikon in FFXIV but a Voidsent. So there's no lore reason stopping him from being a hidden boss fight in FFXVI.
To be honest I don't know what the odds are of a FF mode only, all S rank bloody palace boss being wholly unique are.
Probably more likely that it's a remixed fight like FFXIV Ultimates, but those still have unique stuff so I wouldn't completely write off a brand new boss either.

Somehow I missed this news, was just wondering if they'd announced a date yet. Now that I've finished Rebirth and desperate for more FF it might be the perfect time to finally schedule a XVI replay to get the plat and buy the season pass.
Good for Jill, hope she does actually get a nice spotlight here. Must admit I do wish Dion could get something tho... ;_;

I'm pretty sure the second DLC is a direct sequel to the events of the Omega DLC. I would absolutely play the first DLC first and then worry about a "leviathan vs. omega" play on Arcade Mode or Chapter Select after finishing the second DLC.

"Made adjustments to when Torgal can be petted and lowered time before re-petting."
They have their priorities in proper order.

Looks like they're trying to make a lot of the less-used abilities more viable. Gungnir is such a cool LOOKING move but it absolutely sucks in combat, so making it do more stagger damage might help.
Holy shit Blind Justice buffs. Wasn't expecting that nor even asking for that but that's awesome.Patch notes for the update. Quite a lot of changes, plus a buff for Torgal accessories.

Crap they're actually just buffing like, basically all the Eikonic Abilities?? Sweet.
Enjoy the ride, and will say the final quests in the chains are some of the best, and all felt like it could have gone into the MSQ, though understand why not for pacing.
They mentioned a cutscene that deals with Clive having his brand removed. More may be implemented as well.

Thanks the gods.
- When canceling Bahamut's Eikonic Feat Wings of Light, the Megaflare charge will only deplete to the next gauge level.
- A dodge is conducted when initiating Wings of Light.
- Successfully dodging an enemy attack when initiating Wings of Light will trigger a Megaflare Dodge.
I wonder how extensive this is, either way we're shaving some time off the game which was needed
Most important update^
Seems like Bahamut and Ramuh got the lion's share of the buffs, which makes sense because they're kind of the least "tight" Eikons in the base game, and the ones with the most downsides compared to their upsides. Nice to see they updated some of Odin's abilities to make them more viable, though. Odin is a weird one where Zantetsuken kinda overshadows everything else he can do, so making his actual abilities more fun to use would be nice.
Curious that Phoenix wasn't touched at all, and Titan only got a buff for his super. But I suppose those two needed the least help.
These are great changes. Makes me want to try a ranged build with something Leviathan, Ramuh, and Bahamut
I already loved using Bahamut, so I'm all for seeing him get a buff.
More Satellite damage sounds awesome.
More Satellite damage sounds awesome.
Ramuh was my favorite but is so weak due to the feat. They buffed it a lot which is sick, it sounds like it's going to work completely differently.
