Scenes Before Serah And Noel Zap Lightning

I’d concede Gyro Zeppeli’s play on the indistinctness of L and R in Japanese language was unnecessary and inflammatory, but the use of DLC in FF XIII-2 is arguably the worst since Bethesda’s infamous “Horse armor” back in the day. It’s not the existence of DLC that’s the problem, it’s how Square Enix have abused DLC in this specific instance.

I’m disappointed in every single person who ends up paying extra just to get a good ending.

I could exactly say the same thing toward games like Blazblue or MvC3. They make DLC character and release new revision of games later on which can easily be downloaded through DLC. I’m not saying DLC is the way to everything but if you’re going to piss off user by adding a new characters through DLC then release a new revision is just plain idiotic. The fighting game community abuse this the most. Sqaure Enix is just getting into DLC market through their main franchise and you guys are bashing it as if they were doing it for decades. Okay okay maybe they did DLC way back with Radical Dreamers. Atm some of the content isn’t that great but give them a couple of months and I’m sure they will think of something that will change your mind. It’s like that with every other game. Right now, I’m just going to enjoy playing this as everything should.

Anyway look at Mass Effect 2 for example, the game ending is pretty cool and there were DLC later on the year that slightly introduced Mass Effect 3. You don’t go seeing people bash on Bioware as people here bash on Square Enix. You guys are complaining because it has the Final Fantasy name on it but if it was any other games, people would act normally towards it. Talking of DLC, Tales of series loves to release a bunch of costume and I don’t see people complaining about content cut. Don’t let some purchasable extra content at launch affect your decision to buy this game. I would type more but 3 of my fingers on my left hand is covered in plaster and it’s hard to type.

this fear that there is going to be a DLC chapter that ends the entire series is getting a bit out of hand. i am sure most of us are pretty confident that a XIII-3 is most likely going to happen. story expansion DLC is nothing new. seeing the ending from a different point of view doesn’t actually change the ending. they want to make a DLC scenario for Lightning, which is where most people are getting the idea that you have to pay for the actual ending, but they also want to do the same for Sazh and Snow. does that mean there is going to be 3 new endings are could it just be as simple as it sounds. that they want to expand the story by having us play through the eyes of different characters. 

and, contrary to popular opinion, the Horse Armor DLC wasn’t actually a bad use of DLC. it was stupid and over priced for what it was, but it was ultimately meaningless no matter what the price was. even if it was priced at 25 cents, at the end of the day, you are still paying for horse armor. if someone wanted to buy it, good for them. 

 I know what you mean dude, but I come from an era when games where COMPLETE upon release, I remember sitting and playing trough a good complete final fantasy for hours getting everything, enjoying the full experience of a well made game without worring that some day I will have to pay for the freaking true ending, aaaaa those where the days. back in the day the idea of paying extra money for content that should have been in the game already would have never cross my mind. I can understand that capcom does this a lot with his fighting games, or what western developers do with their RPGs, but this is square-enix that we are talking about, the company responsable for a lot of my favorite video-games, thats why i consider this amount of bullsh*t dlc as unacceptable. this is just an excuse to get more money for their product, now as a company, it is a great idea, but the DLC is one of the many things that are killing gaming this days
