​

In the video, Yoshida also mentioned that the game will receive two paid DLCs. "One thing that came through particularly strongly was how people wanted to see more of Valisthea's story and spend more time with her inhabitants," he said. "To accommodate, the development team has started work on two installments of paid DLC."

Along with these announcement, a free update for FF16 on the PS5 was released with features such as new skins and additional controller options.

"There are no plans to release DLC" means "there are plans to plan to release DLC".

Wasn't actually expecting that!

I looking forward to Final Fantasy XVI on PC and want to experience new game like new areas, features and everything. Hope this game Final Fantasy XVI should be good.

Remember some people report Final Fantasy XVI cause overheating issues on some PS5 consoles shut down without warning due to reduce heat sink size that what's Sony cause problems. I wait for PS5 Pro instead of regular PS5 and hope have thick or big heat sink would solve overheat problems. I have to wait for that.

Yoooo that's actually nice, I thought it would take much longer

No. It means, that depending on the sales figures, there may be dlc.

Please fact check before posting. "Some" people reported the crashing. I'll give you that. But that "some" has been an INCREDIBLY small number compared to those with no problems. The game sold over 3 million copies in the first three days of release. What were there, like 20 reports of overheating? All most likely caused by poor ventilation and/or a dirty PS5. Secondly, the reduced size heatsink being worse is a myth.

Okay. Sure. LOL!

It can happen. Depends on where you live. Weather/dust/pets.

It was 101 degrees here yesterday, I have a cat that sheds like crazy, and a gravel alleyway 20 feet from my windows that creates a dust cloud every time a car drives by. My PS5 has never once overheated. If a person lives with similar conditions and they're having overheating issues, I'd place a wager on lack of cleanliness and proper care for their electronics being a major factor.

Again, it can happen.

Just accept it.

This is actually a kind of common problem that some liquid metal have escaped and caused a hotspot. It's kind of easy to fix yourself but still a shame it happens.
