Cutting Room Floor: Final Fantasy XIII DLC
According to Final Fantasy XIII director Motomu Toriyama, the end of Final Fantasy XIII wasn’t the intended final content. In an interview with Famitsu, Toriyama touched on what happened to DLC previously touted, when he was quoted instructing gamers to “hold onto their saves” for new content down the line.
“We were planning to make some DLC, but that plan wound up not happening,” said Toriyama. “I'm sorry!”
The apology doesn’t offer much insight, but at least puts closure on the matter if you were still waiting with bated breath. We would have been interested in seeing how Square Enix approached post-launch support – a first for Final Fantasy outside the continued maintenance of Final Fantasy XI.
How about you? Would you have liked some fresh content for XIII? If so, what characters or plot points do you think should have been expanded?
