It seems Square Enix’s approach to the October 13th launch is an indicator of what is to come from the company. 

The game’s success in Japan called for story-based DLC that continued the tale after the main quest was completed. For the western release of the game in October, Square Enix plans to include all DLC on the disk at launch for players to enjoy free of cost. Some of the extra “episodes” include:

Alena’s Episode  Bjørn Battle  Great Demon Lord Zoma Battle  Nokturnus Battle  Psaro Battle and Playable Character – Saro the Manslayer 

This news coupled with the well-received release of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and Kingdom Hearts 2.5 by western audiences hopefully means good things for Square Enix’s approach to spreading their games outside of Japan.

Is there a Japanese studio you wished would be more inviting towards western audiences? Let us know in the comments!
