Square Enix once said that DLC had not been planned for Final Fantasy XIII, but the publisher never quite ruled it out and today there are hints that extra content could definitely arrive. XIII’s director, Motomu Toriyama, has told gamers that they’ll need to keep XIII nearby “forever,” because some treats may be on the way.
“From the announcement at E3 2006, we’ve at last reached this day. Final Fantasy XIII is released today,” says Toriyama in a message to Japanese fans. “For the Final Fantasy XIII world, this is the true start. Perhaps if you keep it nearby forever, there will be some additional good things.”
So, what could these “good things” be? The obvious answer would be downloadable content, although it’s also possible that he might be hinting at a relationship between XIII and other games to be set in the XIII universe, namely Versus and Agito. Perhaps possessing all three games will lead to some cool interactivity between them, or maybe bringing the whole set together summons Captain Planet.
Either way, I’m not planning on giving away my copy any time soon … that is, as soon as I have a copy.
