Can anyone tell me to what extent the DLC or microtransactions are present in Lightning Returns? I was about to buy it and thought I should ask first. I don't mind a few costumes, like what FF13-2 had, but I don't want to see it pop up in my game at all, if possible. If it's buried in a menu somewhere, I don't mind it being there. I will definitely avoid it though if there is a free-to-play currency or some other gross mechanic, like what Forza had.

@astrophyle: You can buy DLC schema (costumes) for different assortments of outfits and abilites that aren't in the base game. It's not really a free-to-play game, though. Just a standard disc-based game with pay DLC.

You clearly left out the information about the coin doubler.
