Plus, you know, Bioware have been making games with DLC support for years, Square haven’t really made a current gen game that’s worth it’s salt till FF13 and that took them far, far too long.

Then again like the producers said (and Kojima after MGS4 came out) that Japan really need to sit back and figure out how to produce games more efficiently. I’d wager Capcom or a western developer could have made FF13 damn near as it is now for probably a third of the cost.

Not so Jade. Bioware planned for Mass Effect 2 to have DLC so they made the game to allow it. NOt the case here with FFXIII.

if mass effect can do it, final fantasy 13 can.

not to mention the DLC for this game that would sell would mostly be insanely hard bosses that drop good loot.

It’ll never happen as far as I can see. The game is expensive to make (well, the way they made it anyway) and probably isn’t even built to support DLC at the code level, not to mention the covering costs of voice acting etc.

Not when they can either slap it in a “Director’s Cut” in a year’s time or expand it into an FF XII-2.

I’ll give them 6 months, and then take them seriously.
