This DLC is cool and all but it really feels like what it is: something that should have been in the main game but wasn't. There's even a scene at the end where Clive and Joshua debate over why this wasn't part of the plot and had to be saved for optional side content. The story isn't even anything particularly great, they even point out how one of the central plot points is basically something that already happened in the last DLC. Besides I kind of checked out of Final Fantasy 16's story after Twinside anyways and this was just a reminder of why.

That being said, I still had fun with this and that final Leviathan fight was glorious. Might try my hand at trying to complete a full run of that fancy new gauntlet mode in the future, but for now, I think I'm kind of checked out for this game. This would have been fine if it were just somewhere in the middle of the main campaign, but as this final swan song for Final Fantasy 16, it's kind of a disappointment.
