Switch’s Octopath Traveller Will Have No DLC

Octopath Traveller

I respect them for rolling old-school on this one.

Look, the upcoming Switch RPG Octopath Traveller is the kind of delightful crack that keeps me going. Wait, that doesn’t make sense. Either way, the team making it has given me even more reason to love them. Because this will be a game without DLC.

Why? Because they consider the game to be  “complete”. In an interview with Dengeki Online, Square Enix producer Masashi Takahashi states that the  game, on average, will have a completion time of about 50 to 60 hours. Which is considered normal for RPGs.

It took about 80 to 100 hours in testing to play through the other elements, like sub-stories and dungeons that you don’t have to go to as well as get proficient as you like at using special skills as field commands.

Upon being asked about potential DLC, he had this to say:

“We are not thinking about that at all,” said Takahashi. “The release version is a finished product.”

Good Lord, I’m finding it hard to wait for this game. Thankfully, it’s out next month; July 13th, 2018.
