The conspiracy story behind The Black Crystal
“Echoes of the Fallen” tells the story of how after “The Origin” changed the sky, the businessman Charon took out a piece of “Twilight Crystal” that was almost purple-black in color. In addition to being unable to identify the origin, it also began to circulate on the black market. Due to a large number of He has a black market, so he asked the protagonist Clive to help investigate the source of the crystal. During the process of investigating the source of the crystal, Clive met a suspicious dealer and accidentally came into contact with the “Tower of the Sage” at the ruins of the Sky Civilization. However, he also discovered The existence of mother crystal.
▲Accept the mission from the merchant Charon
▲The design outside the ruins is also good
▲What will they encounter in the end?
Ancient ruins that are completely different from the outside world
It is different when playing “Final Fantasy Scenes. Of course, in addition to the light and shadow, the ruins seen on the scene are by no means careless. At least with the PlayStation 5 function, you can see different textures and bright colors, making the whole process full of freshness. However, the map also uses a linear map, so there will be no chance of getting lost or going the wrong way.
▲The light and shadow performance can be said to be top-notch
▲The feeling of a potential blind spot in a crisis
Powerful ruined enemies stalk players
When entering and exiting the “Tower of the Sage”, players will feel that each battle is more challenging than the last. Players will first come into contact with ruin-type monsters that are usually encountered later in the game. Later, as the plot progresses, there will be a bunch of new monsters waiting for players, and elite monsters have also become quite evil. In addition to many more attack methods, the frequency of attacks has also become intensive. However, as long as you hit the enemy or open the treasure chest, you can get new aerostat props to use in battle, and you will also get very powerful weapons.
▲Many challenging battles are waiting for players
▲Enemies in the later stage have more different changes
▲Super large map attack
The most powerful monster of all time, OMEGA, appears
From the trailer, we can see the final boss OMEGA, and this most powerful monster in history will definitely not be outdone by the boss in the later period. This has pushed the plot tension to a climax, changing the entire painting style and background music. It is not only exciting but also makes players’ hands sweat. OMEGA’s attack method will launch several map cannons at a time later. Emergency switching between attack and avoidance becomes a difficulty for players. If they are not careful, they will “do it all over again.” In the end, if you don’t complete the DPS CHECK within the time limit, there will be an interesting little easter egg to end the game. Players may wish to experience it.
▲Omega officially debuts
▲The soundtrack is the most unexpected
▲It was difficult to defeat
Summary: Still not satisfied with looking forward to the second DLC
Although “Echoes of the Fallen” ends after OMEGA, you can still build the most powerful weapons in the game, and you can also relive the battle in arcade mode or challenge. But it’s still a pity that the game is only 3 to 5 hours long. However, it is quite exciting to test the water temperature and see if it can cater to the taste of the general public. No matter how there was no giant battle or much interaction with the other two partners, it still felt almost interesting. However, it is also good to complete the so-called Sky Civilization of FF16 and make the world view more complete. In terms of gameplay and design, it deserves the support of players who like this game! Looking forward to next year’s “The Rising Tide”!
▲The battle is still very exciting
▲Key points
▲You can try different playing styles in arcade mode
▲After exploding the machine, you can create the most powerful weapon
