I don't have a PS5 and don't particularly want one, my PC likely won't be able to handle it when it stops being a timed exclusive, and Final Fantasy just isn't a series I'm overly interested in (not that an interest in FF as a series means much for being interested in XVI, given the radically different gameplay). That's gonna be a nope.

For FFXVI? That really is not inspiring confidence.

It means they're happy with the state of the game as it's launching and expect it to sell well enough to not need to double down on monetizing it. It also most likely means that they're actually listening to the developers, since shoehorning DLC into everything is very much a publisher-level thing and not something developers that value their games generally plan for.

Of course, the more likely outcome is that Squenix will shoehorn microtransactions and DLC in after it's already been out for a week or two so reviews don't mention them and they don't affect pre-order rates, since that's just how Squenix do these days.
