Yeah, that kind of trout's getting old now. It's insulting. Do they think we won't recognize something intentionally kept out of a game just so it can be sold as DLC later? I guess it's as much our fault as theirs, though, for buying the trout.

I haven't bought any of the FF13-2 DLC yet and if I ever do, it'll be the stuff that isn't just one single outfit or one single battle. That sort of DLC is seriously smurfing retarded.
However, I am entirely fine with episodic content for a reasonable price. After all, this is basically what would be called an expansion pack in the old days, but smaller and cheaper. 4 hours of gameplay for like 3 dollars is fine in my books. That's twice as much entertainment for one third the price compared to going to the movies, after all, and you don't even need to get your ass out of the couch!
1-2 dollars for a single 10 minute fight, however, that just reeks of screwyou. I'm even fine with paying for costume packs, but one single costume for a dollar or two is dumb. Other games with switchable costumes often comes with like half a dozen included in the game. Star Ocean 3 for example, 4 outfits per character, 10 characters in total, all included (you had to work really hard for them, but that's fine). Resonance of Fate, which is a much more recent example (ps360), has a huge wardrobe of clothes that you can mix and match freely, also included in the game from the beginning of, and allows for probably several hundred combinations of outfits. I would actually be totally fine with paying extra for additional clothes in that game, because they did such a good job to begin with.
FF13-2 had like one for each of the *two* characters, and maybe one extra if you had a "special edition" for your region. Charging extra for each individual costume in this situation is just terrible.

Well at least it's something. of course, SE's version of soon might be two years from now, and that maybe just an announcement of when the game might actually be released.
Good news nonetheless. I have purposely not replayed this game since I heard about the remake to make the release all the better.
"Soon" meaning in a few months, to announce a countdown timer for another announcement that will announce when they'll announce another announcement.
Could be worse, could be this version of Soon:
Soon - Wowpedia - Your wiki guide to the World of Warcraft
Following FFXI for the last decade, I can safely say SE's "soon" is exactly that.
Word.
