Despite what some fans may tell you, this DLC is not at all significantly better written than the main game, and the core concept around it is kinda goofy anyway. It's around the same level as the main story but with more unabashed edge. That being said, the new characters were all fairly enjoyable (even though all FX Lord counterparts except Celine were just "what if they just had the exact opposite personality") with Nel of course being the standout.
The maps all felt insanely long compared to the main game, not helped by the godawful way they chose to set each characters' stats, classes and inventory, though I found the first 4 enjoyable. Chapters 5 and 6 however are best just not mentioned if you're playing above normal difficulty. But hey, at least the new music goes hard.
All in all FX is a mediocre DLC carried by the fact that it's part of a game I actually really like. Getting the Fell siblings and the Four Winds as playable in the main game is probably the best thing about it, but is screwed up by the strange way IS chose to set their levels and stats once you obtain them.
Still better than Cindered Shadows though lmao.
