Buying the Serah costume. Still have a ton of fragments to get so she'll be wearing that for a good while.

[StuBurns]

Or you know... you could be able to get them in the game right off the shelf! What a concept.

It always bugged me in VIII Squall has that slick cadet uniform and you only wear it for a few minutes.

[duckroll]

I've not seen anything about that.

It's been in the interviews I've read. Kitase definitely mentioned many times that they are planning different types of DLC, and they're also planning free content updates via patches.

Edit: Here's one example.

――DLCの配信は、どれくらいまで続く予定なのでしょうか？ 鳥山　海外版が発売してから3ヵ月ほど、5月くらいまでは続けたいと考えています。また、DLCだけではなく、本編のアップデートで、やり込み要素をサポートす るような拡張機能の追加が予定されています。

When asked about the DLC plans moving forward (this was in the first week of Feb), Toriyama says that they have DLC lined up for up to 3 months after the launch of the overseas version, so up to about May or so. He then says that aside from DLC, they're also planning title updates (patches) which will add expanded functionality to support optional elements in the game.

I'm guessing he was referring to the Facebook patch, and possibly more stuff like that in the future.

[Grisby]

I need a larger image if that Evil Sazh pic. It's cracking me up here.

[Meier]

Are you kidding me with that Serah outfit? Her skimpy clothes are already embarrassing enough for guys with wives/significant others. Ridiculous.

Do we know if the cards are paid DLC? I thought for sure that would be a free update.. Edit: I guess based off the English description, you'll only be able to play cards if you buy the DLC. That's pretty ridiculous.

[scy]

Never got around to finishing XIII-2 and I'll be part of the problem by buying the DLC.

I have no soul and I'm okay with this.

[Meccanical]

Sign of the times is all it is.

[StuBurns]

I don't think it's for those people.

[Venfayth]

BIKINI!

Bought.

Also, wonder what role Sazh will have as a party member, I hope it's not another Rav or Com.

[LiK]

fap fap fap, "oh, hi honey!"

[Meccanical]

So is Sazh an actual party member or is he just a monster.

Will Serah tell him how much of a good boy he is and that he deserves a treat?

[Meier]

I don't think it's for those people.

I was certain, hopeful at least, that they'd put out something that was a little less cringeworthy. :( Don't get me wrong, she looks good, but I'm embarrassed for anyone who buys this.

[Kagari]

Well yeah there's that type of stuff, but it's all low key content. They won't be offering much in the way of story stuff for free I'm sure...

[Meccanical]

Not a fan of useless DLC myself.

Having her in that outfit will not effect the game in any signicant way.

It's not like Xenoblade where the stuff you wear actually has an impact on the capabilities of that character.

[duckroll]

Well yeah there's that type of stuff, but it's all low key content. They won't be offering much in the way of story stuff for free I'm sure...

Oh of course not. It would be silly to expect that they'll have free costumes or free bosses. But the patches have added some minor stuff here and there as well, like more items in Chocolina's store iirc? The story stuff will be pay DLC for sure. You don't record new lines and then give them away for free.

[RPGCrazied]

I want that Noel costume. :( God, I shouldn't have 100% so soon.

[duckroll]

So Kagari... are YOU getting the Casino DLC? (lol)

[StuBurns]

I was certain, hopeful at least, that they'd put out something that was a little less cringeworthy. :( Don't get me wrong, she looks good, but I'm embarrassed for anyone who buys this.

They will, there are three outfits for Serah, only this one is more provocative than the default one.

I feel pretty confident in saying this one will sell the best though. While I don't want that outfit (or any of them really), I can certainly see why they'd choose to make and release it.

[burgerdog]

I want that Noel costume. :( God, I shouldn't have 100% so soon.

Technically, you didn't 100% the game if you just got the platinum. Unless you captured every monster and attained all the weapons/accessories!

[Kagari]

So Kagari... are YOU getting the Casino DLC? (lol)

No, I'm not buying any of the DLC. Stuff like that should have been included on disc.

[LiK]

No, I'm not buying any of the DLC. Stuff like that should have been included on disc.

until Versus party members are announced. :p

[The Emperor]

No, I'm not buying any of the DLC. Stuff like that should have been included on disc.

Not even Lightning DLC?

[Shadow780]

until Versus party members are announced. :p

No, until Titanic quest is included.

[Meccanical]

No, I'm not buying any of the DLC. Stuff like that should have been included on disc.

Agreed.

[RPGCrazied]

I have to say though. This is pretty awesome for people that don't own the game yet. I should've waited, lol.

[ultron87]

Oni Sazh!

[StuBurns]

until Versus party members are announced. :p

"And if you purchase the XIII-2 DLC megapack for only $50 today, you get early access to the Versus XIII demo Summer '13"

And she folds...

[Kagari]

Not even Lightning DLC?

I'm sure someone will record it and upload it to youtube.

until Versus party members are announced. :p

lol, I'd like to think that Nomura isn't that cheap.

[The Praiseworthy]

They are trying to make money by selling us an outfit that make Serah look like a whore?

I feel so insulted.... not going to buy this and support this sh*t even if it was 0.99$ only.

[Meccanical]

"And if you purchase the XIII-2 DLC megapack for only $50 today, you get early access to the Versus XIII demo Summer '13" And she folds...

Oh man no, I would just watch videos on youtube of people playing it.

[LiK]

No, until Titanic quest is included.

Titanic Eidolon

[The Emperor]

I'm sure someone will record it and upload it to youtube.

True that.

[StuBurns]

Oh man no, I would just watch videos on youtube of people playing it.

I'd do it I'm sure, I can't remember how much I blew on that XIII demo, that was fucking stupid.

[RPGCrazied]

Want to guess Sazh's role? I'll say he will be a SYN.

[Kinyou]

[RyudBoy]

They are trying to make money by selling us an outfit that make Serah look like a whore?

She's already a cheating whore. Might as well look like one.

[Meccanical]

I'd do it I'm sure, I can't remember how much I blew on that XIII demo, that was fucking stupid.

Really?

I'm sorry dude.

[zeelman]

So when will there be a complete version with all the DLC?

[ULTROS!]

until Versus party members are announced. :p

She'll probably buy it if a there's a DLC that links to Versus XIII. :p

[MechaX]

Given some of the responses in this thread alone, it seems like SE might have a winning strategy on their hands.

[LiK]

She'll probably buy it if a there's a DLC that links to Versus XIII. :p

Versus weapons. POW!

[Meccanical]

She'll probably buy it if a there's a DLC that links to Versus XIII. :p

If they link XIII-2 to Versus in anyway I will have a bitch fit.

[StuBurns]

Really? I'm sorry dude.

I actually don't regret it, even though I really should, and I hated that 7 film.

Thanks! I knew I read it somewhere but wasn't quite sure where and searching through andriasang got me nowhere.

Wasn't the Omega DLC free in Japan for a while or something? I wouldn't mind some battles in the colliseum for free. I can get why the story DLC is paid for, though. Still it's much cheaper than BioWare DLC so I'm happy with it. And as I've said the Lightning episode is something that the team only got to work on now so it makes sense to have it as DLC. I've always been a fan of expansions if they're worthwhile, even back when they weren't called DLCs and you had to a buy another disc to get them :P

If they link XIII-2 to Versus in anyway I will have a bitch fit.

Well let's see there's the whole Fabula Nova Crystalis mythology backdrop and...hmmm...Etro, who seems to be pretty prominent in FF 13-2 and Versus. I still think SE should have put together a 20 min playable demo of Versus on FF 13-2's BR to help sales.

[duckroll]

If they link XIII-2 to Versus in anyway I will have a bitch fit.

But FFXIII, FFXIII-2, FF Type-0, and FF Versus XIII are all linked with the same mythology. Where do you think stuff like the Goddess Etro and the unseen world of Valhalla come from? Those are all core story themes in Versus.

[RPGCrazied]

Where's the DLC that expands or concludes the ending? I suppose that will be the last DLC, so I'm guessing May.

[Meccanical]

I am aware of that.

They still have nothing to do with each other, don't tell me you think how Type-0's handles the mythology is in anyway similar to XII-2's.

[StuBurns]

Type-0 still had that stuff? I guess the renaming was just to distance the product a little. I thought they moved all the FNC stuff.

[Venfayth]

Was that actually ever said/confirmed/alluded to? :O

V - bummer :(

[duckroll]

They never said that there will be a DLC expanding or concluding the ending in particular though. I think that's an important point. They said that there's more FFXIII-2 beyond the ending, which is to say you can explore the various Paradox Endings, and there are future DLC story episodes which cover other FFXIII characters who were not explored in the game like Lightning, Sazh, Vanille and Fang, etc. As far as the main story involving Serah and Noel, it is finished.
