Is the expansion pass worth it?

Hey people, are both dlc worth it? at the current price? without spoiler please, im loving the story and characters and combat is it worth for those 2 things alone? thanks

It doesn’t kick in until literally right before the final boss. What it adds to the whole is exploring what the future holds after the ending is all said and done (though it does take place before the ending chronologically speaking). Echoes of the Fallen is mostly just a dungeon with a boss at the end while The Rising Tide is a whole area with exploring and quests and such, so they’re two different experiences. It’s really just more game, at the end of the day. They both give you a lot of nice things to take with you to New Game Plus if that’s something that you see yourself doing.

They add about 9 to 10 hours of additional content that can be played right before the final dungeon or afterwards. Unlocks another Eikon of abilities as well as higher stat gear as well. I think it's worth it personally, but I guess it really depends on how much you enjoyed the game and if you want more of it or if you're the kind of player to skip a lot of side content just to get through the main story.

yes, they are good

If you like the story and combat, then the DLCs are more of both and very high quality compared to the rest of the base game. The Echoes of the Fallen DLC is my favourite dungeon in the entire game and The Rising Tide is probably one of my favourite zones.

The Kairos Gate game mode also comes with The Rising Tide and is akin to the Devil May Cry series' Bloody Palace... It's probably the best extra game mode in my opinion; better than Arcade Mode or any of the trials. It also has some great rewards in both NG and NG+.

All that being said, due to the size of the DLCs, as described by the other posters in this thread, the value proposition is not as good as the base game. If value for your dollar is your most pressing concern, you might have a bit of buyer's remorse. If, however, you love the base game and don't mind the price all that much, you'll likely quite enjoy both.

Well I haven't played it yet, but I really want to since I loved the base game. The only thing holding me back is price. Seems kinda steep. Also I'm broke :(

I personally really liked the DLC.
The cheaper one is super short but has a fantastic lore added to the game. It also has the strongest accessories in the game and 2 cool looking weapons.

The second DLC is an additional location with a story, sidequests and a big boss. You also get 2 new Eikons abilities and tonberry knife. Also additional game mode - a rouge like mini game with some good rewards.
The second DLC is visually spectacular.
The first DLC is just a short tower but you get a very nice view from it.

It’s expensive but I put 100h into the game for 100% completion and it felt worth it to me.

If you really love the game then wait for an sale

if you found the game ok then they are not worth it

I loved the DLC, personally. It doesn't unlock up until you finish some specific side quests near the end of the game though.
