Deluxe Edition worth the extra?

[KillingJoke]

So just out of curiosity, is it worth dropping the extra on the deluxe version?

No, the DLCs (material, Tempest Elixirs, few accessories, etc.) only give you slight advantage in early game (like ch 1 and half of ch 2) and that is it. In addition, they all can be accquired normally through gameplay and with a little bit of grind (even better in NG+).

And only Laxia's Eternian Costume is worth buying

But if you want to support Falcom, not to mention VIII is getting a price hike back to $59.99 on July 19 for no reasons thanks to NISA incompetence, well this is your one and only chance.

I bought all DLCs because I want to support Falcom as much as possible so that's a way to donate to them. I have only used the costume.

Same goes for Trails games, though in ToCS1 I did use that Pom item to have an lv80 save without grinding.
