No DLC in the works for FFXIII, says Square

Final Fantasy XIII’s Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama have poured cold water over any hopes of seeing downloadable content for the eagerly awaited JRPG, describing the final product as the ‘complete package.’
A quote from one of the pair (it isn’t made clear who actually divulged the info) from a recent interview reads: “Regarding the DLC content, we feel that the final product is 100% enjoyable… it’s the complete package. So we’re not planning any DLC at this time.”
Elsewhere, they also addressed rumors of content that was supposedly cut from the final game, stating such claims were taken out of context: “In regard to the rumored cut content, we feel it was taken out of context. There are a lot of ideas that are brought to the table, and then the team takes the best ideas out of those, and the final product is polished that way.”
“There was content that were ‘ideas’ that didn’t make the final content, but the team isn’t looking to release that as downloadable content.”
This isn’t the first time DLC has been mentioned for the game. Kitase first touched on the subject back in December, stating there would be no DLC for the Japanese launch of the title. Since then we’ve heard rumors that it was under consideration, though this latest development appears to have finally put the nail in the coffin – for now, that is. Stay tuned.

Will it have multiplayer? LOL Sorry, it just seems like a growing trend with popular games exclusive or not.

wow, thanks for Microsoft for leaving out some content due to their technical limitations, and FFXIII trying to do some damage control after "some guy who wroked with the develoment team" leaked out very precie info about left out (and already developed) content ; of course this DLC will come to X360 first as they used their money once again

I'm glad there is no DLC. The only DLC I like is map packs for multi player games. Although I think that game Heavy Rain could make some great DLC. Extra episodes and such.

So in other words, the game will never be any better, you are stuck with crappy graphics and lame gameplay. But it is FF, so you should feel good about it.

It's very good to hear that the content that was cut was just "ideas", and not chunks of gameplay that they would try to sell back to us later. As far as DLC, I'm fine with it not having any. These sort of games take a very long time to play - I'm not upset that we won't get 1% more. Maybe sometime in the future, when everyone's played through it and is looking for a reason to give it another shot.

This is good news. Means they aren't already planning on cutting of 10% of the game and making you buy it separately on top of the $60 you just paid for the game.

i dont think anyone is too concerned about dlc honestly. especially since this game is massive. its too soon for dlc, the game hasnt even come out. as for multiplayer, its not the type of game for multiplayer. its a single player experience, theres a reason why they're making ff14 so they can give gamers that experience in a game that is built around multiplayer. i really dont think multiplayer for ff13 is needed or even relavent.

Thank God. It's a JRPG. Why would we need DLC in the first place?
