It's disgusting. It's so easy to build off it post buff without the accessory. Equipping the new accessory for Ramugh makes it insane for both damage and stagger damage.

No way dude, I refuse to believe it lmao
Get ready to go hammies on these fools. I like to go out with Shiva to cause snapfreeze, and no joke, with the Ramuh accessory? I can legit land 2 whole blind justices on enemies, sometimes 3 if they're big enough. Between that, Satellite, that other Bahamut move that shoots out the orbs, and some of Leviathan's insane attacks, and I'm straight melting stagger bars lol
Idk, I 100%'d the game and I think it's the worst FF in the entire series and I'm buying and playing the DLC as an FF fan.
My issues with 16 were basically the linear stage design, zone design's lack of meaningful map content and the story. A DLC episode with better level design, more varied side content to do in the areas and a better story would be a pretty major improvement.
It's a feature within The Arete Stone. I opened it after beating the DLC so not sure if it's available from the start of the DLC or if you need to beat the DLC story.
What counts as "beating" it? Getting all 20 S ranks and clearing the boss it unlocks? Or just simply playing all 20 and getting any rank?
Picked up the DLC despite liking but not loving the base game. I don't expect this to fix any of the problems I had with the game, but after Rebirth I'm itching for more Final Fantasy.
Hopefully the patch that came along with the DLC and new accessories I'm reading about will get me to play through the game again. Also hearing that normal trash encounters go by faster is a huge QoL improvement.

Maybe I misunderstood the first post, by "beating it" I meant the main Rising Tide DLC. I finished that, then went to the Hideaway and saw this was unlocked.
I haven't finished it but my guess is just getting any rank and getting to the end would unlock the trophy.
It took me a while, because I got stuck for 2 hours on the Leviathan fight on FF mode and I did some of the side quests during as well. But I'd say probably 3-4 hours for the main story of it, but that's just a guess.
Gonna take a break, did the Chronolith for Levi, super easy one. Its a nice tutorial, wonder how the challenge version will go.
Also did some sidequests and LMAO almost died at this.

I wonder if it was added with the DLC or I never noticed the NPC this whole time. If its the former, Kujiraoka really must not have agreed with the purple sky idea lol.

I wouldn't say I'm a "hater", but I am overall very negative on the game. I still plan to pick up the DLC eventually, I just want to wait for a sale, and prioritize my gaming budget elsewhere. (particularly Dawntrail)
I doubt this DLC will turn my entire view around, but it does look like some nice improvements on the base game. I'm still very envious of my friend who will just have both DLC included when he plays it on sale in like a year.

Same. I really like the game a ton in general. But that ending is the worst in the series, "dethroning" FFVII for that title in my book (and that is still my favourite game, so an unsatisfying ending isn't necessarily something that puts me off a game unless it's offensive). It tells us nothing, really, and leaves almost everything up to headcanon (which they confirmed in the Ultimania was their intention, as even the epilogue is ambiguous and can be interpreted in multiple ways). Which also makes it annoying when people go "it's super clear that X survived" or "X wrote the book, the game hinted at it!" because there are multiple legit ways to interpret everything by design. After spending so much time with the characters, I want to know what happens. A FFXII style ending would have been lovely and very appropriate. Instead the ending reminds me of MGSV.
Yes? Why wouldn't they be? Its still semi-open zones with linear dungeons/stages connected to them.
There's better rewards for exploration at least.

To be completely honest, I didn't feel like there was more exploration, side quests, or unique rewards that motivated me. But I do appreciate that they made an excuse for the area to have a blue sky.
Oh shit.
And you can use it anywhere? It's just straight up a new Eikon? That's awesome.
yeah, the new accs that change signature abilities are fucking sick so far
I'm making my way through NG+ and even before this accessory Ramuh feels so good. You can stick the mines on an enemy, switch off of Ramuh, then the moment you stagger them trigger the denotation during the cutscenes.
Increases the stagger multiplier a lot.

I'm going for a stagger burst build.
Bahamut
Odin
Ramuh
All of my abilities are to do will damage mostly.Beforr stagger I max out Bahamut, max out Odin, and apply Ramuh's orbs on an enemy. Right as they stagger I detonate the orbs, turn on Bahamut, dump my stagger increasing abilities and right before stagger meter replenishes I use Odin Z lvl 5.

About to play this. I have my pre-final bosss from the last DLC, will I get access straight away to the DLC? I am in NG+.
Also, what are the Trophies like? Anything spikey?

nothing too crazy. You have to beat the survival mode for one trophy but you can buy timely accessory buffs to help you clear it, at the cost of your performance score.
Yes, from what I gathered the DLC doesn't affect the ending. Funny in hindsight because I saw someone yesterday comparing XVI to XV and trying to claim the former was just an incomplete experience like the latter because of the DLC. Turns out the DLC is just a bonus episode though.
It's just... so weird, cause the stuff that happens in the DLC feels like it should influence the ending. Like... Does Ultima not even acknowledge Clive having Levi's and his own power in the ending?
What about that Kairos gate trophy? What are the requirements exactly? Can it be done on easier difficulty if it becomes a hassle on Final Fantasy mode?
I'm gonna be blunt: this is why it was always mind-bogglingly stupid for them to cut an Eikon and then sell it as post-launch DLC. The entire story doesn't make sense anymore.
Since they stayed adamant about "the player decides which interpretation is correct" I'll just go with my head canon and believe Clive survived and got a happy ending with Jill.

I know XVI is divisive among the enthusiast fandom, but I don't think we could have asked for a better lead actor than Ben Starr. He not only killed it in his performance, he's been a huge part of the community for the better part of the last couple years. I hope we get some crossovers or Dissidias or the like so he can reprise the role every now and then.
it wasn't cut to sell for DLC, it was cut because they didn't have the time or budget for it. that's development for you. FFXV's DLC was clearly main game content sliced out and then resold. This is an EXPANSION, not a part of the main game. And everything I have seen thus far fits perfectly well in the world of FFXVI.
If they didn't have the budget to do it, they should've cut Leviathan entirely. Straight-up. Don't reference it in the game, don't make it an existing Eikon in the world. Erase it.
The way they did it here is stupid, and it ruins the entire story.
Didnt the patch notes say something about adding some extra cutscenes in the main game? Maybe said cutscenes are about reflecting DLC stuff onto main game?
It's just a slideshow cutscene inserted into one of the sidequests to show the moment when Clive gets his brand removed.
