It honestly reads more like they didn’t have any dlc in the pipeline and now have to figure out - if they do go that direction - how to incorporate it into a story already told. I don’t get ominous vibes from it.
I’m halfway through - rough estimation and loving it. I wouldn’t mind seeing a short multi hour Cid dlc to explore some backstory.
I may be misremembering but I could have sworn I saw somewhere state they didn’t have plans for DLC content for this. I wonder if this change in decision is after seeing how well received the game has been, that they now feel like they can commit to expanding the game. But that’s just speculation on decision making that we’ll never hear about.
As for DLC content, I’m not sure what I want from the game at the moment. I’m around 75% of the way through so might have a better idea when I’m complete. But I just hope it’s something that expands on the world and lore that has been built here.
