Just an all around tight package that’s just a nice little bonus for us fans!

Back in the time dlcs were free. This one should have been. I am a ff fan and a ff14 vet. I know omega very well and beyond a love letter to the fan that this dlc brought to us, we should always say that we need free content. Yes, it's a gréât dlc but a dungeon and a few gear + skin weapon isn't something worth 10 bucks. Even if the leviathan dlc might deserve compensation we should have it for free too. I could say that balancing and making leviathan eikonic abilities + creating a whole new story deserves our money but yet, I would surprise you saying that unfortunately. A dungeon that doesnt add more than a single lore page is not worth 10 bucks. That is also because of this kind of behaviour that we dont get some kind of "echoes of the fallen" dlc for free anymore. You can disagree with me.

Beating this DLC on FF Mode with minimal potions was definitely a challenge. Enjoyed every minute of learning each attack the boss had to deliver

I'm so glad you pay so much attention to the music. I do the same. Heck, I play FF as much to HEAR it as I do to SEE it. There's a reason why Soken won the award for Best Score/Music. The DLC music was incredible.

I love your content and your energy! The last boss was absolutely thrilling and I'm glad you made it in time :) just finished the DLC on Hard Mode (first time) and Omega was really something different! Probably my favorite boss fight in the entire game. And the music ... Soken is a god, a worthy successor of Uematsu.

Great work man, I feel your pain, I haven't fought omega weapon on FF16 yet but I am playing through the game on Final Fantasy mode at the moment, so just unlocked the quest for echoes of the fallen, looking forward to fighting Omega once again very soon

I remember playing through the dungeon portion, even before getting to the end. I knew who I was going up against because the clues are all there in the logo.... And then I hear the melody of eScape in the dungeon theme SOKEN! YOU GOT ME AGAIN!

Just beat the dlc, man it was very good and fun. The final boss was the right amount of difficulty i was looking for in this game. Also the music 🔥

My spoiler-free review that I gave my friend was, "It's not a feels trip, but it is the hype train, baby, and I am absolutely here for the ride." Just so much fucking fun.

Goofy name for a trophy, but FUCKING A, this boss is a reaction test to the extreme! If you dunno the timing to his Hyperextension or High Maneuvers attack, that shit gives you a game over 90% of the fucking time!

I'd definitely say "Short but sweet" is the best way to describe this dlc. The quantity of new content is a tad light (considering the turnaround for this though its still impressive), but its some of the highest quality stuff in the game. I really hope they continue with this kind of difficulty and off-the-wall insanity in future add-ons. Also really appreciated delving more into the lore.

JC, been a big fan since Black Ops 3 and loving the content ever since. Have you ever considered playing Returnal, some of the mechanics of this fight reminded me of Returnal fights, and that game is SO amazing, not to mention you sounded pretty hype about the GOW-rogue-like DLC, and Returnal is a rogue-like as well

Getting back on this game reminded you why you loved it in the first place

Just cleared the DLC on FF mode - pheeeew finally some difficult content 👏🏻 Love this game!!

Are you gonna have a video soon of you playing Rising Tides?

Oh man, glad to see that Omega is as much of a pain on Action-Focused mode as it is on Final Fantasy mode. I was down to 2 potions and 1 elixir for the whole fight, so it took me a full hour and around 20 attempts

we really need a cid backstory dlc that would be so hype

I remember having a moment in that hanger room where I just sat there and took in the view over rosalith, teared up when I realized man... THIS is the final dungeon we never got, with ALL 4 of us together too, I seriously expected one short romp throughout whatever the hell origin was but they threw us straight in, stonehyrr was the last area but it never quite felt like it yknow? All the bosses were so fun though esp Omega and the reactions too, already watched live but leaving a like just to do my part o7 haha

Yes let the hype flow through you, harness its power...A DRIFTING TENDER, COME RIDE, HEROS RIDE! *Proceeds to dance like a madman*

Man just think about how crazy the Leviathan fight is going to be…

I think when the Leviathan DLC comes out it be worth to see if the fight with Ultima changes, maybe ultima will use Leviathan powers too

Loved watching your reactions for the entire series. I personally feel this game was SEVERELY under rated and deserves far more recognition than it got and it was refreshing to see someone else feel as passionately as i did about it. But i do have to ask are you planning on playing rise of tides? I will say it is well worth it every second.

One of the best boss fights I’ve ever seen in a video game. Period.

when is the video for the new DLC coming up??

In terms of spectacle, I think Bahanut is still the best fight in the game. However, in terms of gameplay and challenge, Omega has become ny favourite fight in this game. He destroyed me, but every single time I learned something new about the fight. I felt like a beast when I finally defeated Omega. Leviathan, I'M READY!!!

This was PEAK. I dont know how they'll top this but I have a feeling they will LOL.

The majority of this game is mind-numbing missions and side quests that start feeling like a chore the longer I played. It actually got so bad that I legitimately fell ASLEEP a couple of times. Don't get me wrong, there are missions that are decent, the boss fights are phenomenal, and the characters are great, but I just lost wind and interest by the third half of the game. 6 or 7 out of 10 for me.

I remember when I beat omega on final fantasy mode it was epic and hard but my gosh was it fun and am ready for the other dlc hype

WTF? Why am I in the first 10 sec of the video and see only lough for few boss move sets? LOL!

"It's constricting all of creation" "WHAT DOES IT MEAN" He's losing the match so he's reaching to yank the ethernet cable on you. Pretty fair safeguard when it's built to fight a god who'll erase you if you lose. Mutually assured destruction incarnate. :V

Ngl this fight is an authorized pogface. It is so stupid and epic at the same time, I grinned the entire fight, it was so good

the omega fight was epic!!!

The term “Magitek” is mostly used in FF 6 if I’m not mistaken.

I got omega in one go on ng+ but damn, I went into the fight only down one high potion, used everything I had minus the revival item during the fight. My build is a lot of ultimates so I can take advantage of their time stop stuff, and I got really good during ng+ at using limit break to iFrame through damage. But damn this guy made me give it all I had. I think Ultima in one go is probably harder, but omega hits like a monster truck.

@JCbackfire you going to play final fantasy mode, dont know if you are aware, but level cap is increased, and you get better versions of the weapons you have collected, like omega weapon attack is 750. Id like to see you do a playthrough for ff mode that be sick.

I was level 101 and managed to beat him on my 2nd attempt. Possibly the hardest boss on this game to date. I think they did a fantastic job on this DLC with the music and the architecture of the spire. Straight 10/10 for me and I hope the Rising Tide is gonna be the same type of hype

This fight is insane, played it on ff mode earlier, and would've lost if i hadn't used the final elixir. Probably my second favorite fight in the game (i don't think anythings beating the Bahamut fight, but this one comes close!)

Funnily enough, I DIDN'T use Lightning Rod and Gigaflare against Omega. I just used Impulse, Rising Flames, Diamond Dust, Proselityze, Rift Slip and Will-o' the Wykes while using Garuda, Shiva and Ultima. If you can utilize a perfect combo, that shit will DRAIN a Will Gauge like NUTS. A good mix of midair and ground combat, and if you can time the Rift Slip midair, it gives you more reaction time to dodge.

So I traditionally have never been great at action rpgs. As good as combat is in the FF7 remake, I constantly try forgot simple things like stance changing and whatnot. This is said so more context can be given for my saying the fight against Omega, while quite challenging, is also by far my favorite boss fight in any action rpg. He’s not super tough once you have a handle on the timing and range of his attacks, but more than the gameplay itself I was blown away by the music and sounds. Now that I’m playing through in Final Fantasy mode I cannot flippin wait to challenge this guy again.
