WHERE TO PLAY

An action RPG from Square Enix Creative Business Unit III, Final Fantasy 16 takes place in the world of Valisthea. As Clive Rosfield, First Shield of Rosaria, you embark on a quest to find your missing younger brother.

Echoes of the Fallen, the first of Final Fantasy 16’s DLC, is available to buy and play right now. Taking place before the end of the base game, Clive and the gang discover a new crystal, one none of them has ever encountered before. There are a handful of side quests you will need to have completed before you can play through the DLC, the details of which you can find in the Square Enix blog post, the link for which you can find in the tweet below.
