A compelling journey through a Fallen ruin topped off by a battle for the ages set to an impressive musical score makes this a worthwhile, if short, expansion.

Echoes of the Fallen is a solid DLC that offers prospective players what is essentially a "Lost Chapter" to the main game of Final Fantasy XVI. Interesting new lore about the Fallen, an additional dungeon, and one of the best boss fights in the game. You get a nice chunk of game! However, $10 as a standalone price or a $25 bundle with a DLC that isn't out is a slightly steep ask.

More of what you liked, and what you didn't about the main game, Final Fantasy XVI Echoes of the Fallen is a fairly enjoyable extra adventure that plays it a bit too safe with what it has to offer.

Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen is a short and concise expansion that offers respectable new fights. If you loved the original game and its combat system, we recommend it without hesitation, even if it doesn't offer much in the way of plot and new abilities. The feeling is that the best is yet to come with The Rising Tide, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

The first expansion to the superlative Final Fantasy XVI is slight but memorable thanks to some terrific boss battles and visually breathtaking splendor. As a continuation of one of the best Final Fantasy titles in years, it's a welcome addition well worth exploring.
