Huge Final Fantasy 16 Update as Patch 1.10 Adds Outfits, Weapon Skins, Gameplay Changes; Two DLCs Now in Development

Aha, my slow approach has paid off (as long as the changes fit in to current playthroughs with no issues 😅)

Also, DLC will be cool, I'd maybe like to explore more as Young Clive without abilities, so a less combat focused DLC. But also the potential for a Cid/Benedikta storyline must be huge, right? About the time Cid breaks away from service to form the hideaway

Excited to find out what we get.

I hope one of the DLCs explains what's up with Leviathan

Don’t really get the point of DLCs. The story’s done. I hate these sorts of ones that require you to go back to an essentially complete game and then play largely unrelated content. XV was pretty bad for it with how disconnected the DLC all felt from the main game.

@nessisonett "XV was pretty bad for it with how disconnected the DLC all felt from the main game."

That's pretty ironic considering FFXVs DLC all were story bits that were cut from the main story and sold as DLC. Like "You want to know why Ignis suddenly became blind? Buy the DLC!"

Still no Performance Patch? Imho more important than some Costumes and Weapon Skins

@mariomaster96 Yes, but they were added through a menu. You had to re-download a game months down the line and go into a menu to play a couple of hours of completely separate content with almost zero bearing on the main game. It’s exactly how not to implement DLC.

More FF XVI makes me very happy ^__^

I’m glad it’s happening 😎

Literally just got the platinum trophy last night. The game certainly has its flaws but it’s definitely become one of the definitive experiences I’ve had on my PS5 thus far.

Nice I will gladly take some more FF16! I assume one of the DLC will focus on Leviathan for sure. As for the second...not sure maybe center around the origins of Valistea? Or maybe be based around Torgal's origins? Anyway count me in!

I said it from the start there would be dlc, and addition to a convoluted story to deepen it or whatever as it happens with all the latest FF games. That's why I waited so I can play the complete edition whenever it's ready.

@Powerplay94 I mean Forspoken and the Jack Garland Game also got DLC

@Powerplay94
Yeah that could be cool too. Or maybe set one back in the day when The Fallen airships still worked or something. Lots of options that's for sure!

And this is one of the reasons why I don’t buy games at launch anymore. In a couple years time, I’ll have a GOTY edition that’s a fully patched game, at at least half the price, with all kinds of extra content. (Especially good if the DLC is the kind that’s inserted into the main game, and not stuff that that takes place after the main story, so I can play it integrated in where it belongs.)

And yeah, despite SquareEnix waffling back and forth on whether this game was successful or not, it must have done well enough to support it with DLC.

Torgal is the best.

Goty for me 100%

This is great news, one of the best games of the year so far so il take any opportunity to jump back in.

Oh yes. Great news. One of my favourite games this year!

I hope we get to play as Cid and learn more of his old life.

Great news. Great outfit for Jill too. Will do a new game plus/ platinum after my work commitments and Spiderman. DLCs are welcome. No need to buy if do not want to as the main story is contained in the original game.

@Geep feel the same, though I also thought that the plot was stretched unbearingly long as well. Even though I love Jill, Clive and Cid the overall poor man's game of thrones plot and it's glacial pacing put me to sleep too often.

@mariomaster96 He got hurt, I was never confused about that, I haven’t played any of the DLCs, just the vanilla game (with updates).
One day I’ll play them as I bought them all and I’ll play the whole game again.

@Jaz007 I thought so too but as the DLC revealed he didn't just simply got hurt but I don't want to spoil to much

My kid played it and we traded it in towards Mario Wonder. I thought this was the "one and done" game? Must have been thinking of something else.🤷

@nessisonett absolutely nobody is forcing you to play it l, don't worry about it 🤣 If you want the story to be done in your eyes, then let it be.

I'm in the minority who absolutely hated the ending to the game, so I'll have to wait and see what the DLC actually is before I would consider paying for it.

As for the new cosmetics, I do have to say I think Jill's new outfit looks great. I thought her regular outfit was fine, but I probably would have changed to this one if it was available day 1.

@nessisonett listen, you're the one who came in here all negative and insisting the story is done. The story clearly isn't done if its getting two DLC's. You don't even know a single slither of information regarding it yet and you're already complaining about it. But I'm the obnoxious one 🙃 how dare I be positive for more of a game I really enjoyed!?

The game is 20% of right now on the PS store. I think i am going to get it and give it a try. I wish it was 30% off. But i did say when it went on sale i would buy a digital copy of it. I am not a FF fan normally as i am not much into turn based RPG’s. But this could be a new start for me with FF and i am excited to give it a shot.

I can think of a few things I'd like to see for DLC but I'll probably be satisfied with what they come up with. FFXVI is one of my faves of the year so far.

Fantastic news. Any new story DLC is Day 1.

Loved FFXVI, anything they make that brings me back to the world and characters - I'll take.

Make the PC port SteamDeck verified, and I'll double dip.

I’ll play the DLCs on PC since SE clearly have no intentions to fix the performance issues on PS5. Guessing the engine is already pushed to its limit.

@Shepherd_Tallon The combat system really shines in NG+ FF mode, it’s fantastic. Hope you enjoy your second play through when you get to it!

@HonestHick Been a fan of the series for a long time but this has become my favourite one. The combat is great. If you’re not a big fan of turn based systems, this is probably the best iteration to jump in. If you do, hope you have fun!

I'm joking, and perhaps I'm the only one laughing, but hopefully one of the DLCs adds turn based combat

@HonestHick If you haven't tried it out yet there is a demo that lets you do the entire first chapter and gives you a handful of abilities afterwards to get an idea of the combat

The outfits look so good and especially for Clive! While we clearly know that one of the expansions will be about Leviathan I'm wondering what the second one will be about.

Was really hoping to see more of FF16 so I'm happy to see it's getting dlc. Also Jill's new look is awesome 🤘

My friend says 16 is the best that Final Fantasy has been in years, I can't wait to play it on PC. Hopefully the Keyboard and Mouse support is as good as XVs was.

@Jimmer-jammer thanks. Yeah i hope i like it too. I know i should just try the Demo. But i would rather just support the game. I am a hardcore Diablo series fanatic. So ARPG’s are my thing. But i do love the FF lore and quality that goes into them. Throw in they have the best music maybe in all of video games. 😊

@Nepp67 yeah i have been holding off on the demo and wanting to just give the full game a try. But the smart move would be just play the demo. I only use my PS consoles for exclusives. So this gives me something else to play on PS5. Think i will just jump head first and it’s only $55 right now. Seems more than fair 😊

Ooooh nice il play these in a replay , when I play final fantasy there's hours I just spend just leveling up no story progress just back and forth in whole areas. It's all starfield at the mo PC and Xbox.

@mariomaster96 😗
Now I'm curious...

@mariomaster96

Yeah I hated that crap.

I never bought the DLC or watched any of the supplemental material.

One more shift and I can get back to this game for a few days. Can’t wait, imo it’s a masterpiece truly! The music is brilliant also. Can’t wait for any dlc

@MagisterMagi Not at all. Aside from some minor frame rate issues that don't affect the gameplay at all, why put too many resources into that? Will it come? Most likely, but it's far from even an actual issue. A lot of you couldn't go back even 10 years and play games without making a hill to die on from it.

@RobynAlecksys These aren't minor issues lol. Especially in Towns the Framerate is a rollercoaster ride which cab easily be fixed if they just give the option to turn off RT in Performance Mode lol

This, like the Burning Shores will be day one for me!

Nice, I'll be playing this after elden ring 😃

I just bought and started this game. Nice!!

I'm a few hours in and I really like it.

@3Above
Your profile picture is awesome. The green ranger is my favorite.

I'm expecting a dlc from after Cid to the new hideout established, leviathan and the free cities story that was obviously cut.

@nessisonett That sounds really bad indeed.

I don't mind hearing more on Leviathan lore but I hope they can focus on some proper Superbosses with different attack patterns entirely. I can see minigames being unlikely from the sounds of it.

FF16 Complete Edition going to be stacked

• Squeenix on launch day: "the game is perfect as it is and will never get a patch or be changed in anyway!"
• Squeenix aftera few patches: "we are open to taking more of your money with a DLC"
• Squeenix after 10 patches: "We decided we want even more of your money with 2 DLCs"

FF16 was okay but well below what is was expecting. It was very much a 7/10 one and done kind of exp. I may look at getting the dlc on discount in the future during a quiet gaming month.

I dont like the game at all. I dont know why exactly. The FF feeling did not kick in to me in this one. So I dont care about any stuff they add.
