While it initially seemed like Final Fantasy XVI wouldn’t get any DLC, this week at The Game Awards it was announced the game will be getting a pair of story expansions, with the first, entitled “Echoes of the Fallen,” being available right now!
But how does one play this new DLC? It isn’t a simple matter of just hopping into the new content from the main menu, there are some pre-requisites. Also, how leveled up should your party be before you take on this new challenge? Don’t worry, we have the answers for you…
Warning: The following article may contain minor Final Fantasy XVI spoilers.
In order to access the Echoes of the Fallen content, you need to have completed the “Where There's a Will" and "Priceless" side quests from the main game. Doing so will allow Joshua and Jill to join your party full-time, even between missions. Both Where There’s a Will and Priceless can only be accessed right near the end of the main campaign, once you’ve instigated the “Back to their Origin” main story quest (the last of the campaign) but haven’t actually traveled to Origin yet.
During this window, you’ll be able to kick off the Where There’s a Will sidequest by talking to Joshua near the entrance to the Hideaway.
Once you’ve completed Where There’s a Will, you’ll be able to start the Priceless sidequest by going to the Reading Table and checking out the “Concerned for Jill” message.
If you can’t access either Where there’s a Will or Priceless, you might not have completed the prerequisite sidequests. In order to access Where There’s a Will, you need to have completed “Phoenix, Heal Thyself” and in order to access Priceless you need to have completed “Cut From the Cloth.”
Okay! So, if you’ve completed Where There’s a Will and Priceless, head to Charon’s shop in the Hideaway and select Echoes of the Fallen from the menu. You can now tackle the DLC!
As for what level you need to be to tackle it, I’d suggest you’re at least somewhere in the mid-40s in terms of level. Enemies for this DLC start at level 47 and go up from there.
Final Fantasy XVI can be played on PS5. Echoes of the Fallen it out now and can be purchased for $10 a la carte or as part FF16’s $25 Expansion Pass, which also includes a second update, “The Rising Tide.” You can check out Wccftech's other Final Fantasy XVI guides here.

We're weren't totally convinced that Final Fantasy 16 needed story-based DLC, but now that we've played through Echoes of the Fallen — the first of two promised expansions — we're actually glad it's happening. If nothing else, this additional slice of adventure is a welcome reminder of how flashy and downright fun 16's combat can be.
If you found Final Fantasy 16 too easy to hack and slash through even on its hardest mode, you’ll likely get a kick – or several – out of the Echoes of the Fallen DLC.

Naoko Yoshida has revealed that there won’t be a Final Fantasy XVI sequel.
Final Fantasy fans got a closer look at Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind in a new trailer released for Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth at The Game Awards 2023. The trailer also served as the debut of FF7: Rebirth’s main theme ‘No Promises to Keep’ composed by famed Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu.
The Game Awards last night had many different appearances, but one that only had a smaller showing was Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Many people expected a full-on trailer to be shown because the game was only a few months away, but we only got a partial trailer in conjunction with the orchestra playing the game’s official theme song in “No Promises To Keep.” But, thankfully, Square Enix was willing to pick up the slack for that and released a more complete trailer showing off not only the footage from The Game Awards but also more in-depth cutscenes with new characters and teases of the future.
Final Fantasy XVI was one of many games that got attention last night at The Game Awards—not only because of the various awards it was nominated for but Square Enix revealed that the two-part DLC content for the game would be partially released sooner than fans expected. How soon? It’s out right now! The first DLC is called “Echoes of the Fallen,” and you can get it now on PS5. It’s a paid DLC, but it’ll have a new story, enemies, and boss fights to enjoy. But on the PlayStation Blog, the game’s lead combat designer, Takeo Kujiraoka, noted many things about this DLC content.
The PC version of Final Fantasy XVI may require an SSD, producer Naoki Yoshida suggested in a new interview.
Square Enix has unveiledFinal Fantasy 16's DLC, Echoes of the Fallen, and The Rising Tide.
Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy XVI downloadable contents “Echoes of the Fallen” and “The Rising Tide.” The former is out today for $9.99, while the latter is planned for release in spring 2024. An Expansion Pass including both add-ons can also be purchased for $24.99.
