    *I put over 10 hours in this DLC, it is simply GODLY.*
    - Amazing new location, very final fantasy. It must not be a coincidence that CBU3 also designed a similar location for their 2024 DLC for FF14 (Dawnstrail).
    - Absolutely Godly music by Soken in every location. The Leviathan theme, divided in 4 phases, is simply the best eikonic theme in the game.
    - CHALLENGING DIFFICULTY ESP ON FF MODE. LEVIATHAN ON FF MODE GAVE ME A HARD TIME AND I AM A SOULS VETERAN. EVERY BOSS IN THIS GAME HAS TONS OF MOVES AND MOVES FAST.
    - NEW ENEMIES LIKE TONBERRIES AND TEMPLE COEURLS.
    - *Leviathan storyline is very poignant and the perfect last Eikon for Clive to beat*
    - LEVIATHAN EIKON MOVES ARE FUN AF, IT TURNS THE GAME INTO A FAST PACED LONG RANGE SHOOTER, AND THE DLC ENEMIES ARE MADE TO BE DEALT WITH HIM.
    Overall a 10/10 DLC that I enjoyed thoroughly like the last short DLC. WHOEVER DESIGNED THESE DLCS NEEDS TO BE GIVEN A RAISE. THEY UNDERSTAND GAMEPLAY.

      @@apocalypse9199 I really like the fact that you get Ultima eikon, and the Kairos gate endgame is fun. Though I'm not sure I'll manage to get to level 20. For me, the DLC was already a 10 just for leviathan alone, and Kairos gate is just a fun bonus but more optional than anything. I think its intended more for the DMC hardcore gamers.

    There's not much to discover in the dungeons as usual, but some of the chests in mysidia itself has the new feat upgrading accessories that are pretty good and significantly changes gameplay. Wish the base game's accessories are more like the ones in the two DLCs instead of just higher damage or less cooldown, but it is what it is.

      It could be. However I understood the ending a bit differently. What I understood was that Clive using Ultima's power at the end was just too much magic for him. Remember that Ultima tried to get a hold of Clive back when Cid was alive, and Clive only had 2 eikon powers. So I am not entirely sure if getting Leviathan would have changed anything tbh

      I mean it's kinda hard to "hate" them when Leviathan's Dominant was ultimately a victim of circumstance due others abusing their potential. So it's understandable that it is different from past Dominant bosses. Leviathan itself was just trying to do what it thought best out of an already terrible situation that spiralled out of control. Even it was an overreaction.

      I think Rebirth has the better exploration, but for boss fights FFXVI was more epic in my opinion and I love both games and both their OST were awesome!
