Final Fantasy 16 Fans Disappointed with “Secret Boss” in The Rising Tide DLC
Final Fantasy 16 fans were eagerly awaiting the release of The Rising Tide DLC, which promised new challenges and surprises. As Square Enix’s departure DLC from FF16, it was expected to provide a wealth of endgame content, including the mysterious secret boss in the Kairos Gate mode. However, upon its unveiling, fans were left feeling disappointed.
Instead of a new adversary, the secret boss turned out to be a reworked version of Clive’s shadow, the same one players faced in chapter two of the base game. This reskin of an existing boss was seen as lackluster by many players, failing to deliver the anticipated thrill of a formidable new foe.
Fans took to a Reddit thread discussing The Rising Tide DLC to express their disappointment and frustration. Many wished for a more innovative and exciting boss encounter, suggesting the inclusion of characters like Gilgamesh or a human Joshua. Others questioned the overall value of the DLC.
There were also broader critiques regarding the DLC’s content. Reports surfaced about minimal cutscene quality and a relatively short main story quest. These factors contributed to Final Fantasy 16’s The Rising Tide failing to meet its potential as the final piece of content for the game, leaving fans with a bitter taste in their mouths.
