Clive’s adventures have come to a close for many fans around the world. After seeing this journey to its end, should you expect Final Fantasy XVI to receive any DLC? After Final Fantasy XV‘s DLC chapters, it would make sense the follow-up would follow the same format.
The producer of Final Fantasy XVI has commented on this possibility. Here’s what we know about potential Final Fantasy XVI DLC.
What we know so far about Final Fantasy XVI (FF16) DLC so far
One of the issues that Final Fantasy XV had is the lack of clarity around its narrative, which was slightly resolved by its DLC and prequel film. However, the 16th entry told a complete story from beginning to end. In an interview with GamerBraves (via PSU) the producer of the game Naoki Yoshida acknowledges that.
“But now we understand we’re getting feedback from players that have played the game and a lot of players want to see more, and we know that and understand that,” said Yoshida. “For us, we’re taking that and then thinking about our options moving forward, so hopefully in the near future we can have something that we can give to you all.”
With this quote, there seems to be DLC plans in motion.
What would this DLC entail?
With so much of the timeline skipped in Final Fantasy XVI, perhaps we could see character-focused DLC like in Final Fantasy XV. We could get an episode on Jill before she reunited with Clive, fighting for the Iron Kingdom. Additionally, there could be a prequel about the original Cid, protecting the downtrodden and forming The Hideaway. There are a lot of options on the table.
We’ll keep you posted if any firm plans for DLC in Final Fantasy XVI come to fruition.
