FFXIX Add ons

[SoloWingMetatron]

It's a shame, but consoles are going to forever hold this game back from its true potential. It's still fun, but I agree with the poster you quoted. We're never going to see add ons.

Consoles do not hold back the possibility of add-ons. Games have existed on consoles that allows for user created content to be added. Unreal Tournament 3 for PS3 is a perfect example. With the UT3 Ed software on PC, users can create custom maps and any kind of mod (including complete character/weapon model reworks) all of which can be compiled into a package compatible for PS3. All a user had to do was download the mod/map to a memory stick and then transfer to the relevant folder on the PS3 HDD. UT3 would then instantly recognize the add-on the next time you played.

A more recent example is Fallout 4 which is confirmed to have fully compatible user created mods/add-ons for consoles. Similar systems to these could be added to FFXIV (including console versions) it is by no means impossible. It all just depends on how the dev team choose to spend/prioritize their dev time.
