This is a very very good thing.

If adding DLC to get some more profits would help Tri-Ace to be a little more profitable and see easier ways to keep releasing them rare JRPGs, I would gladly embrace DLCs for their games.

And if the dlc expands the scale of the game and is reasonably priced then I don't see the problem.

When you have these big companies milking everything with DLCs you kind of get a bad taste about it, but when it comes to Japanese developers and their JRPGs I sort of want to see ways that they can make profits and keep the genre alive, to have them say: "Well, if we do this we definitely can make these JRPGs happen because we get money out of them."

It's kind of surprising that Tri-Ace has been able to launch a game without DLCs or extra costs given that they were bought by a mobile games company.

I was convinced that they would be forced to add DLCs or microtransactions to their games.

Wow, that's great news. I hope more games do this but unfortunately they won't.

Dunno who gave you this idea but Star Ocean is an offline JRPG.

I mean the games are huge as is. I played Til The End of Time for 600 hours... just short of the end of time.

Never played a star ocean game, after hearing this I may give it a try.

Good. Quite honestly, im quite sick of it by now.

Expansions are fine but DLC is turning into a contest of "how much can we extort?".
