Echoes of the Fallen is a tasty little expansion that adds more of the game I love. My only wish is that they'd give us more!
I liked Echoes of the Fallen. It adds a fun endgame dungeon for those looking to extend their stay in Valisthea, and it delivers some challenging new encounters to sink your teeth into. It’s over in just a few hours and doesn’t do much narratively, but it’s a fun ride for what it is. Whether it’s worth the money is up to you, but if you’re looking for more Final Fantasy XVI, this DLC pack certainly delivers. Echoes of the Fallen is not a must-have, but it is worth having.

Final Fantasy XVI Echoes of The Fallen serves as a refresher into the realm of Valisthea, bringing with it increased level cap, new gear, and some new bosses. It doesn't last long, clocking in at around two hours, but it does just enough to keep you curious for what comes next.
Ultimately, Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen DLC is just another FF16 dungeon, albeit a fun one. There's a bit of scattered lore and a thin story to justify the exact events, but you're paying $10 for one more dungeon with a cool boss fight. If you were hoping for something a bit meatier or delves into some of the mysteries of the setting, you're probably going to be disappointed. Echoes of the Fallen feels more like fan service and a precursor to the upcoming The Rising Tide DLC.
Solid, if somewhat short, expansion. The highlight is the massive boss fight at the end.
Final Fantasy 16: Echoes of the Fallen offers some high-octane boss fights and a gorgeous environment to explore, but the exploration remains as linear as ever. Those looking for something more substantial in terms of story may want to wait, but there's plenty for combat fans to enjoy.
Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Fallen delivers beautiful scenes and incredible action but falters a bit with an anticlimactic ending. There is plenty to enjoy for fans of the main game, but the lack of a great ending means it fails to live up to the lofty expectations set by the main game.
Amazing, Soken popped with soundtrack as always, can wait to dive into the second dlc.

Exactly what I expected.
It's a short but sweet expansion that adds a new cool area to explore, new music tracks, some additional weapons and tools which are pretty strong, and arguably one of the best and most challenging boss fights in the entire game.
I enjoyed the new story arc despite the slow start, it adds some important things to the overall lore. Also it's cheap so if you enjoyed the main game it's definitely worth buying.
Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.

Hoped for way more after all this time... Was expecting some serious end-game content, instead it's one on-rail chapter with some fighting. Sure, the bosses were cool and decent, but the story was quite inconsequential (just a bit less pointless than most sidequests in the base game).
And the crappy item system is getting even more crap here... Now if you don't feel like getting the best weapon, belt and bracer from the base game (it takes time and is rather difficult) - just start this quest, you quite quickly get even stronger ones... Which will make obtaining them easier and pointless...
They could have added some bounties at least... maybe some sidequests... and some repeatable content maybe... something to grind... dunno... anything that would take more than those .... 3-4 hours?
Also hearing a lot about this being more difficult - yeah, sure, if you haven't played FF XVI for the last few months and got rusty as hell then it will be a bit more difficult -_-
Hoping the next one is better...

Summary Echoes of the Fallen unlocks a whole new story, battles, weapons, accessories, level cap and more. For players who have completed the required quests, this new adventure begins before the base game's final battle, as strange, dark crystals begin to circulate on the black market.
