Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide is a great way to conclude this installment of Square Enix's beloved saga. It adds more content in terms of both story and gameplay, which adds more value to the base game. Additionally, it provides us with more exciting battles we love and a beautiful and intriguing region to explore, not to mention a new challenge for those who want to get more out of its combat.
A short but well written story, a new game mode and some updates to Clive's abilities. The Rising Tide caps off an amazing pair of DLC stories that leaves me wanting so much more.

I got to floor 3 of the Kairos Gate before getting annihilated. It’s a very tough DLC, especially the boss fights. 10/10

Yoshi P is a genius who makes people stumble on their words when trying to find a valid criticism. I will recommend this DLC to my friend named Barry. 10/10.

Simply put, The Rising Tide is a fitting end to Final Fantasy XVI. It delivers more stellar gameplay and an interesting narrative, all while further solidifying the legacy of the franchise's sixteenth title. While it may play it safe with the characters, bosses and story, it makes up for it with the addition of Leviathan and Kairos Gate. Furthermore, the DLC is a perfect sendoff to the game, lending itself well to what was established and giving fans a chance to return to Clive, Torgal, Jill and Jonathan one last time. Those who enjoyed the base game will find The Rising Tide to be an enjoyable and worthwhile adventure to travel back to Valisthea for.
All in all, Final Fantasy‘s finale DLC was a pretty good time. While Mysidia wasn’t quite as in-depth as I had hoped it would be, Final Fantasy XVI The Rising Tide is nonetheless an enjoyable and rewarding journey and a satisfying conclusion to the Final Fantasy XVI DLC duology.
Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide is a great expansion to an excellent action RPG, offering up one of the game's most intriguing and considered chapters. With yet more memorable boss battles, an emotional storyline, and some downright stunning environments, it's the worthy sendoff that Clive and company deserve.
An excellent slice of DLC that genuinely feels like a missing part of the main story and features some of the best moments from the whole adventure.
The Rising Tide is considerably more content-packed than the initial Echoes of the Fallen DLC, but it doesn’t change 16’s fate. If you want more of Clive Rosfield’s adventures to defy the gods, then The Rising Tide is for you, but if you only have a passing curiosity, then you probably won’t regret skipping over Leviathan in Final Fantasy 16.

Presentation: good. Combat: improved but not drastically.
Otherwise? Solid 7/10. Not great, not terrible.

A very bad experience, maybe even worse than the main plot. I can see why they choose to cut it from the development.
Everything it feels out of context.
But I guess that the blind fans don't care about storytelling and challenges...

Bad story and bad graphics. Over the little time dedicated to the plot there's nothing more to do here. Laking in contents and being a more of the same this DLC just flooding away like a bad idea in the morning

Such a boring DLC. Way too expensive and with very little to nothing to offer.
I was expecting a bit more from them after the latest disappointing DLC, but it seems that my expectations was too high...
