I doubt that would change his arguments or those of the people who disagree with him.

I haven't played FFXIII and I haven't watched everything available online...I did watch one person on a site play a portion of the game.

To me you want sidequests during the game.To provide you with items you can use in the game and allow you to do something else you find entertaining if you want to take your time finishing the game. For sidequests to be delayed until after the game seems counterproductive to me.

I still don't feel FFXII's hunts were sidequests despite what others who post here may think.

shrugs.

We hear there's isn't going to be any DLC...because Kitase and Toriyama feel the game is good as it is and doesn't need anything else. Here's one of several interviews available online with Square developers confirming there won't be DLC:

No Final Fantasy XIII DLC Because It's Already 100% Massive - PCWorld

IMO that in itself is a flaw...that there won't be an DLC...
