You should be more concerned about the fact that the store-front lists presence of in-app purchases; that the official rating-board classifications mention of presence of in-app purchases among aggravating categories like "graphical violence" and others; and the fact that the game is a single-player title using a kernel-mode anti-cheat -- which means the only reason it can be there is to enforce the integrity of those in-app purchases.

I.e. not only are they going to charge you an arm and a leg for the 'full' game -- they're also going to tempt you to cut off the other arm and leg and offer it to them on a silver platter to boot.

I say the price is very fair with what it comes with.

You're paying mostly for the music licensing of the premium sound pack. Everything else is just the icing on the cake that's not added to the main game freely, solely for the reason that it has to be used to sweeten the pot on the more expensive editions alone - because in actuality the asking price is far too much for the average consumer to justify it for just a few vocal music tracks.

That's if the in-app purchases are micro-transactions, they could mean just another way to purchase the DLC, but given the fact their using Kernal-level anti-cheat program, it's hard to say if what i'm saying is the case, or it's to stop people modding or cheating in a single player game.

I hope they add way buy upgrade edition like buy ultimate for just digital stuff music and base game separately still paying same price just wanna buy other stuff later than all in one immediately

It's the music.

Instrumental music of anime songs are expensive.

Vocal anime songs are even more expensive.

Especially if these are permanent, life time licenses.

Remember any licensing issues can be solved if you throw enough money at it.

And how do they pay for all of it?

Look at the price of the music bundle.
