Ok that was an insanely cool boss fight. It's up there with the main game eikon battles.

I had to laugh as Joshua casually went "Oh well he's *compressing all of existence.* We should do something about that."

I laughed the first time it did the awkward double hop into a super fast dive bomb.

If you got the DLC, check out Torgal's inner thoughts on a lot of the characters

gently caress that was a good boss. Also it was actually hard even on normal mode.

Slowly working my way through the DLC as well after the holidays. Really cool so far, enjoying the views a lot!

The dlc is cool and sorta makes up for the lack of a proper final dungeon.

We beat it yesterday evening and yeah that final boss ruled haha

It's a bit awkward that we started our NG+ playthrough before getting the DLC (or rather before knowing there would be one), now I can't use the cool accessories in said NG+ until way late, but them's the breaks

Maybe we'll wait for the second DLC to drop before going further? Otoh that will probably also be lategame/postgame difficulty and placement, so...

2nd dlc will probably have some OP poo poo thats balanced for Arcade Mode since that mode has preset stats but you can still equip accessories and eikons.

I never got around to starting FF / Ultimaniac arcade mode until after DLC so now Im trying to beat it before 2nd dlc.

I kinda hope they would introduce new difficulty for story mode though.

I had it in my head Rising Tide would come out here in winter but nope, it's a spring release. Can't come soon enough.

We're always hiring!

So what's the over/under on the Leviathan DLC giving us an alternate ending?

Like, as it stands, Clive dies because he wasn't as capable of handling his power as Ultima thought he'd be. But is that because Ultima miscalculated and thought Mythos would be fine with being short one? So if you go in with the full suite, will Clive manage to barely survive?

I'd say odds are pretty good. They've hinted it will impact the plot and there's not really much plot to impact at the point the DLC is set besides the ending.

I am not thrilled by "pay for a happier ending" TBH but FFXV already did it so I guess that bird has flown.

A full blown alternate ending would be tantamount to selling the ending to the game as dlc. Which has been done before but still feels bad.

Yeah, personally I'm fine either way. I mean, I feel like the ending we have now makes sense for the theme and the story we got.

But, on the other hand, I can't help but laugh because I remember when Aerith lives! as a DLC in FF7 was a running joke and now we may actually get it with Clive.

We got Noctis Lives as DLC in FFXV and they almost sold a completely different Noctis Lives as DLC later on, funnily enough.

Well, Clive didn't die at the end of FFXVI. So it doesn't matter either way. :colbert:

I never played XV, oddly enough. Kept putting off buying it because I knew there'd be a 'Definitive' edition of some sort and I figured I'd just wait for it.
By the time it came out though, I just didn't have any interest in buying it.

God I can't wait to jump back in, been holding out until both of the announced dlc packs are out.

Out of curiosity how hard is final fantasy mode compared to a first run? Shame it's ng+ only

Fairly easy. Not much different from your first playthrough except enemies are higher level to match your endgame abilities

You have a lot more enemy combos with healing/shielding enemies which can be annoying to deal with but still p easy overall.

I wonder if they will announce a complete edition. Would be nice to get it all on one disc, but recent trends have DLC as download code pack-in only.

All so I can something,
something X-Blade!


I booted this game back up since the DLC is coming out and I finished FFVII Rebirth. For the trophy for beating a boss without taking damage, is it just a boss you fight at Clive? Like if I redo Eye of the Tempest does it only count Clive vs Garuda and not Ifrit vs Garuda?

Joey McChrist

as long as it has a boss gauge then it'll count. for an easier time go to the arete stone and replay the kostnice chapter. the boss you fight there is a war panther thats super easy to dodge around and melts if you hit it with diamond dust/fight it at endgame levels. thats how i popped the trophy.
