Final Fantasy 16 Echoes of the Fallen DLC, New Story, Location and Everything Else You Should Know

Final Fantasy XVI had its moment to shine at The Game Awards 2023. Among all the announcements of new projects and updates, Square Enix announced a new DLC for FF XVI. This game is without a doubt one of the largest PlayStation 5 exclusive titles to launch this year. And that’s why this game getting an expansion is something of a big deal.

While the game probably won’t get a spin off or sequel, Square Enix announced Final Fantasy 16: Echoes of the Fallen and The Rising Tide expansions for the main game. While The Rising Tide will be released next year, Echoes of the Fallen is available to download for all Expansion Pass holders. For those who have yet to make a decision, here’s everything to know about Final Fantasy 16: Echoes of the Fallen.

A brand-new location to explore!

Echoes of the Fallen brings a new location for Final Fantasy 16 fans to explore. This location is called The Sagespire. The official website defines Sagespire as an ancient facility that has remained dormant ever since the collapse of civilization. “Though its makers may be long gone, the abominable byproducts of their heretical research still prowl its halls to this day.”

It would be a fun time journeying through this exciting new area.

This expansion brings a new story to its players.

A new location is not there for nothing; it brings with it a brand-new story. It is about a strange, dark new crystal that has started circulating in the black market.

The story of this expansion starts as protagonist Clive and his friends come across a bunch of suspicious traders. Those traders led them to this new location, known as Sagespire.

It also brings an interesting new character to players. His name is Famiel, and he is the leader of the Dusk Crystal Miners.

New equipment

Besides a new story and a new location, players will be able to unlock a bunch of new equipment. An accessory called the Assailment Bit and a bunch of other fallen equipment, such as belts, bracelets, and much more. Besides that, everyone who purchases this DLC also gets Cloud’s Buster Sword.

How to unlock Echoes of the Fallen DLC

To get access to Echoes of the Fallen DLC players, you just need to talk to Charon and select the Echoes of the Fallen option. But to unlock this option, players have to unlock two quests from the main game, “Where There’s a Will” and “Priceless.”

Only after completing these quests will they get access to the DLC content. These would permanently add characters Joshua and Jill to Clive’s party, who are crucial to the completion of Echoes of the Fallen.
