This is a shift from director Hiroshi Takai's previous statement in May, where he mentioned that there were no current plans for DLC and that Square Enix was waiting for fan reactions. Despite initially stating that there wouldn't be a Day One patch, Square Enix released one anyway.
With positive reviews for FFXVI, there is a possibility that it may receive more DLC. IGN's review praised the game's action-heavy combat, compelling story, well-developed characters, and immersive world-building, highlighting the innovative Active Time Lore feature as a standout aspect.
