I mean, it was in an article where they were assuring people there wouldn’t be DLC. I mean obviously they didn’t say “there will 100% not be DLC”, but why make comments to the media saying “we’re not planning on DLC” if you were still toying with the idea of DLC.
I mean, it was in an article where they were assuring people there wouldn’t be DLC.
Which article is that? From what I remember the sentiment was basically “FFXVI is meant to be a complete experience, no DLC required. But if it’s successful and there is demand for it, it’s possible we’ll work on something in the future”.
This would be different from many games which have DLC planned and worked out during the development of the main game, before it’s released.
Did you play Final Fantasy XV? That game planned DLC from the start. It impacted the game heavily. Some of the DLC never even got made.
They said it wasn’t planned for XVI because it wasn’t planned at the time. But also to let people know that the base game wouldn’t have pieces missing from it. It’s truly a completely standalone experience and I believe that DLC was only an afterthought at that time.
But also, companies say all the time that they’re open to stuff, DLC, ports, sequels but nothing is planned yet. It’s really common. Sometimes they go do those things, sometimes they don’t. That’s what “not planned” means.
