Final Fantasy XV: Episode Gladiolus

201658/100
Role-playing (RPG)Adventure

Fantasy

This character-focused DLC strips away the party to test Gladiolus in brutal, arena-based combat. It trades the open road for a linear gauntlet of trials, emphasizing precise parries, a dedicated stamina bar for blocking, and a raw, survivalist feel. The experience is defined by mastering its deliberate, weighty duels against towering foes, a stark and satisfying contrast to Noctis's fluid, warp-strike warfare.
