Square Enix "thinking about" Final Fantasy 16 DLC, Yoshida says
Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida has discussed the possibility of story DLC.
Previously, Yoshida confirmed the «one-off» game was a complete story and DLC to expand its narrative was not in the works, though this could change depending on fan reception.

As for what that DLC might entail, in another interview with Kakuchopurei Yoshida was asked which character — other than Clive — he'd like to play as.
