DLC & FF: A Possible Boon... If SE Ever Catches On

[felfenix]

This isn't in reference to FF13. This is about adding content and features via the DLC method, when they already would via an International version, or want to add small things but can't because there's not enough content to warrant another 60 dollar release. As mentioned in my post, if you bothered to read it: FF12 International added a New Game Plus feature onto FF12, as optional classes/missions. This is extra content onto the main game. Making these available via DLC could be profitable for SE, while offering players worldwide more practical options.

If they wanted to add a 100 floor dungeon with some cutscenes and a couple extra features onto FFXIII-2 post-release, would you rather just download the dungeon for 7-15 dollars, or pay an extra 60 dollars a year or two later, to get the same game you already have plus the extra dungeon and not even have the option to buy it at all if you're not in Japan? Some great examples of how DLC could be used is Lair of the Shadow Broker in Mass Effect 2, or if the International additions (new missions, cutscenes, char development, new jobs) were available as DLC. Things that aren't worth making a whole new game over, but would be welcome additions to the game, for many.
