What do you think about Final Fantasy and Downloadable Contents (DLCs)? For sure, we all loved free DLCs, but how about the paid ones?

I am very apprehensive about DLCs. Sure I buy a number of it from time to time whenever I think it would be great. However, I get so pissed whenever I buy DLCs already equivalent to the price of a game or two only for the company to release a Game of the Year or Complete or Ultimate Edition with all the DLCs I have paid for given for free! I feel I was screwed.

Although DLCs allow companies to earn a little more money, I think they should just give it for free or for very minimal amount (no greater than $5). DLCs should be treated as added value for their products to make their customers more satisfied, and not as additional source of income.

I rarely buy a DLC. Don't care what it is, i'm not made of money and i don't need added content to a game that'll last me a small amout of time. Rather buy a game or something i'll get use out of. If a DLC is over £5, consider yourself scammed. Thats about $7-$8. I think. I bought the FFXIII-2 DLC for Lightning and her commanding officer (forgot the name). Waste of money in my opinion.

I weigh the options when it comes to buying dlc. If it is additional content or features that I want then I might pay for it. The amount and price of dlc that square releases is insane. The total for the dlc for XIII-2 is $67 just for the dlc. Apparently, square plans to release up to 80 songs for theatrhythm as dlc, I wonder how much that will cost?

That's insane! I won't spend on DLCs that are already worth a new game. I'd rather buy a new game.

Here's what I wrote in another union.

"All this DLC is a test from the Square to see what it's fan base would get so they can cut major things like characters that should have been in the game. *cough Lightning cough* I mean come on she's on the cover of the game Square.

I just hope it doesn't get as bad as Capcom.

It's not free. Only thing that is free is some Serah costume.

I don't mind it depending on how it's done and the price. I bought a lot of DLC for Dissidia 012. But if it feels like content that should have been in the game to start with I get annoyed.

I heard they removed the ending from XIII-2 and sold it as DLC. One of the reasons I am reluctent to buy it. Is that true? And how much does the ending cost?

The dlc is not even true endings. They gave a crap ending so we will spend money on XIII-3 when it comes out. I in general don't like dlc available for XIII_2. Yes I bought it all, but I really don't like it. I also got the dlc for duodecim. I will also probably buy all the dlc for Theatrythm. That is probably why they keep doing dlc because people like me keep buying them anyway.

So, we have to be wise in choosing which DLC to buy. We also need to see the history Of the developer if after you buy all their DLCs if they love rereleasing the game as Complete/GotY Edition with all the DlCs you bought included for free. *cough* Capcom *cough*

The only good thing about GotY or special editions like that that come out later is when they have all the dlc but it is kinda annoying when those release for normally less than when the game first released for 60 and they have all the DLC already included. Its good if you don't have the game and are thinking of getting it but bad when you bought it new and then all the additional dlc. Oh dlc issues :P
