DLC

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call represents a whole bunch of games. Square Enix probably won’t be coming out with another Final Fantasy-oriented Theatrhythm game in the future, but later entries in the series (such as Final Fantasy XV presumably) will be featured through DLC.

Producer Ichiro Hazama told Polygon:

“We wanted to make it so Curtain Call is like your base, and then you would add more songs as newer titles joined the roster and be able to accommodate for DLC or things like that and build upon it. But that would be our final form of Theatrhythm that handles the Final Fantasy songs. In terms of Final Fantasy songs, we will continue to produce new Final Fantasy titles and with that, there’ll be new songs added to the repertoire.”

“No matter where you cut and where you eat, it’s still a tasty piece of cake. With Theatrhythm, I made sure to kind of pick up the ante on the music flavor, the rhythm flavor of the Final Fantasy elements. We’re focusing on that music aspect of Final Fantasy, but we make sure to not cut corners and make it as polished as possible. That’s what I focused on in this game, and I am confident that if we continue to do that and bring a really polished product, people will enjoy it and it won’t be yet another spin-off that’s just out there. I want to continue making games like that.”

In Japan, Atlus is releasing free downloadable sub-personas for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. They should make their way west when the game lands in North America later this year.

First up, Kaguya from Persona 4: The Golden will be available next week. Kaguya is at level 16 and possesses a unique skill known as Moon’s Blessing. This stops one attack each turn and has a three turn duration.

On June 18, Orpheus Kai from Persona 3 will be available as well. Orpheus comes in at level 26 and can use Harp of Regeneration to recover HP and removes negative status effects for all allies each turn. This is also a three turn duration effect.

So this is a collaboration I don’t think anybody expected. Nintendo are partnering with car manufacturer Mercedes Benz to bring a GLA class model into Mario Kart 8 through free DLC. At present it’s only for Japan but this is interesting because it confirms that the infrastructure for DLC has been built into the game and could potentially be used again in the future. If that’s not bonkers enough for you, Mercedes Benz Japan has released a 30 second ad of the partnership.

Update: Nintendo UK have commented to CVG on the possibility of a Western release:

“The announcement this time was made by Mercedes-Benz Japan regarding their collaboration in Japan with NCL. As for the information relating to the distribution of the GLA kart for MK8 outside Japan, we will be able to announce in the near future.”

Extra content is something that we pretty much figured would be a part of Hyrule Warriors after hearing about the game’s premium box edition for Japan. Now it’s official though: DLC is indeed a part of Hyrule Warriors. The title’s official website possesses a DLC section, though it’s not open just yet.

Hyrule Warriors’ DLC – at least in part – will involve costumers. For the Japanese premium box edition version, Tecmo Koei is including codes for six special costumes.
