FFXVI Rising Tide DLC Characters Introduced

There’s new insight into the people we’ll meet in the FFXVI Rising Tide DLC, as Square Enix offered official art and brief character profiles for two characters. One first debuted in the Echoes of the Fallen add-on, while the other is an entirely new individual.

First, Square Enix brought up Famiel. This character is someone Clive and Jill encountered a few times when exploring the Sagespire dungeon and going toward Omega. The company didn’t note what the character is doing in Mysidia, but did reference his past as a Dusk Crystal trader.

After that, Shula appeared. This is an entirely new character who appears in the DLC. There are few details about this new person, with the company only noting Clive and Shula meet once Clive and his crew reaches Mysidia and that they team up. This person also appeared in one of the latest screenshots from the add-on shared on social media.

This peek at the two FFXVI Rising Tide DLC characters is only one of multiple peeks at the add-on ahead of its launch. Square Enix has also been sharing an array of screenshots. Some focused on the new location of Mysidia, which people can visit after reaching a certain point in the story as part of a quest to reach Leviathan’s Dominant. Another showed Clive heading into battle against a type of Tonberry and what may be one of the expansion’s bosses.

Final Fantasy XVI is available for the PS5, with the Echoes of the Fallen DLC out now. The Rising Tide DLC will appear on April 18, 2024. A PC version of the game is also on the way.
