Most games these days tend to offer some form of downloadable content. But in the case of The Legend of Legacy, there are no such plans.

Director Masataka Matsuura told Inside Games (as translated by Siliconera):

“There won’t be a single piece of DLC. That’s pretty rare nowadays. I didn’t want to allocate any of our development budget to that. We’re going with the philosophy of simply focusing on the game as a whole.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Inside Games asked if The Legend of Legacy will have something like a New Game+ mode, where enemies get tougher after beating the game. Matsuura said in response:
