Kitase Doesn’t Rule Out Final Fantasy XIII DLC
The latest edition of the Dutch PlayStation Magazine, which contains an 8 page Final Fantasy XIII feature, including a 2 page interview with Yoshinori Kitase has been exposed. In the interview, Kitase discusses the future plans for any FFXIII DLC.
A Neogaf user got hold of the latest issue of the Dutch Playstation Magazine. In the interview, the producer of the RPG Yoshinori Kitase discusses the failed simultaneous release Square previously aimed for Final Fantasy XIII, as well as future plans for DLC:
At first we had plans to release the game simultaneously worldwide, so we had the intention to deliver identical version between the regions. When we noticed that we wouldn’t make it, we decided to release the game as fast as possible in the west after its release in Japan. We initially had doubts to add extra content to the western version but then it would have taken the international version more months of delay. We did prepare a DLC but it will arrive a little later in the west.
Final Fantasy XIII is looking set for a western blockbuster release on March 9, 2010.

Didn’t I read one time a while back that SE said that there would be no DLC for the game, that what was on the disc is all that there would be? Anyone else remember this?
^ i do, but who cares?
any real Downloadable content will be boring anyways… story is short and straight forward, post game is just missions, which arnt even that well thought out…
fight ___ monster x 64 times = every mission
most missions dont even feature new monsters, they feature special colors/skill sets/weaknesses, but only 3 have a actual unique monsters…
so what would be Downloadable content be? more missions of fighting ____ monster =\ overall itwill be lacking like 3d dot game heroes
@smokey_vols
l remember that. They said no DLC but didn’t you read that article here that said they did cut parts of the game that were going to be in it.
these SE guys totally don’t know what a fun and interesting game is right now (thanks to M$’s money of course), they first told the game would be developed for X360 AFTER it is released on PS3, then we discover there’s no towns, the menu manages rest and shops, levelling is as bland as FFX … and now – what a surprise – as the X360 can handle that much, there’ll be DLC that should have been in the game if it had been PS3 exclusive … hope people see clearly in their mind and sales don’t go over 2 million platform wide.
They said they removed enough content for an entire extra game, and now they’re talking about DLC? Oh good grief. I don’t know what to think about this game. From the videos I’ve seen, the graphics look extraordinary. Unfortunately, everything I’ve heard about the gameplay is pretty terrible. Guess I’ll wait and see.
