A while back, Square Enix said that it didn’t have plans to release downloadable content for its highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII

, because such a move would suggest that the game wasn’t completed at launch. Well, according to RPGSite (via VG247), Square has apparently changed its perspective on DLC, or at least the prospect of DLC, for its upcoming RPG.
However, as FFXIII Producer Yoshinori Kitase explains, the DLC won’t be used to expand the game’s story, but rather will simply offer new gameplay opportunities.
“We are exploring the option of downloadable content, perhaps adding new areas, items or enemies, but these would not be expansions to the story, only the gameplay. The entire story of FFXIII will be on the disc.”
Anyone have any strong feelings for or against DLC for Final Fantasy XIII? Would you prefer it to be story-based, or is gameplay-only the way to go?

DLC is the way of the future can't wait to see what they do with it. It would be interesting to mix FF XIII with FF XIII Versus
Vesipham
Hmm, they could go both ways really. Like make story-based DLC that focuses on the less important characters. Maybe something like putting one of those Cocoon soldiers in the control of players, so you can see the world through his eyes instead. I like the idea of them being able to add new areas, side quests, bosses, and whatever. The more they continually expand on the world from FFXIII, the better.

i would love a blitzball-esque DLC for it, something that took advantage of elements of the game - but without expanding/tampering with what is sure to be an epic story
mathiasreese
I just hope it won't turn out like Mass Effect's Pinnacle Station DLC.
blakseed
I just want the game already. They can talk DLC after it's released.
deathsdelivery
blitzball was terrible, so I hope not

DLC for FFXIII would increase the value of the game, especially since the FF series is known for both its immense story and in-depth gameplay.
Greibach
If they don't include japanese+subs as an option (which I HIGHLY doubt they will include), then that would be PERFECT as DLC. Aside from that I don't really care.
oOcornflakeOo
haha, "the complete game will be on one [PS3] disc" but three 360 discs!" sorry but the article provoked me to do it!!
Battlehobo4000
Uuuuugh, maybe if they Ahhhhh, include some, uuuuhhh, costume change ahhhh abilities, mmmm, with sephiroth AHHHHHHH then that would satiate the unghhhhhhh AHHHHHH I LOVE YOU SEPHIROTH *SPLOOOGE* FFVII fanboyism. Me personally, I'd settle for a new FF Tactics.
NakedSnake14
That could still be good even though it is not Story DLC.
bonemantour
DLC should be weapons for story mode i mean force unleased has it DLC for there story so we should have weapons like on assassin's creed 2 do for there bloodline game so we should have it to make the story longer everyone likes it when storys are longer
ABXPuPpeT
as long as the 360 fanboys dont get there hands on versus im fine with it suck xbox

DLC doesn't bother me as long as it adds to an already remarkable and complete, cost a reasonable price, and is substantial.
Best example of DLC: Fallout 3, GTA4, Tomb Raider Legend/Anniversary
Worst: Resident Evil 5 ('nough said), shooting games that sell three to four maps for $10 dollars., Mass Effect--nobody cares about late DLC that doesn't add anything special to the game itself.
Memu
If there is no story, I don't think it will sell. The only reason I killed all those thousands of creatures (most that were arguably innocent and minding their own business) was to get the rest of the story. Playing blitzball and racing chocobos never interested me. How many people actually bother to level up their character to the ridiculous amount needed to defeat the biggest esper and complete all the hunting missions? Having that extra stuff available really adds atmosphere to the game, but I wouldn't buy it as DLC.
TylerOdd
Well Gameplay DLC will be fine with me. Of course if throughout the game I find myself having questions about some of the characters pasts or random encounter characters it would be nice to have mini stories told throughout the DLC.
guillermo316
maybe they can revie sareith in this game!
dontadow
Maybe they will have DLC that returns final fantasy to a fantasy game as opposed to a scifi rpg
SwitzaHouse
it all depends. adding new areas, weapons and enemies or even side quests sounds cool but to what end. its not like its WOW or another RPG that has no real ending to the game play. it just seems like they are trying to pump more money out of people. if the game had a PvP aspect it would make sense but it sounds too gimmicky. we'll have to wait an see i guess. i am big fan of downloadable content but honestly i haven't seen much that was worth it. even with the street fighter costumes or the gta 4 DLC i wasn't really impressed, it all seem like they just want more money on top of a 50 or 60 dollar price tag.
Ernest420
As long as the game is still fun with trophies, I'll still buy the damn DLC.
