Final Fantasy 16's highly anticipated Rising Tide DLC expansion honors the base game's strengths while simultaneously adding on top of it a new story, a fresh set of abilities for Clive, and two thoroughly satisfying boss fights to cap everything off. To start The Rising Tide, players must first reach the final quest of Final Fantasy 16's main story. The only problem is that Final Fantasy 16 was released almost a year ago, so chances are many players have already completed the main story, and quite possibly a second time as well via a New Game Plus playthrough. This has the potential to make things feel a bit awkward in certain places during the Rising Tide DLC.
