Expansion Pre-order up. US$29.99

[Seagal]

Cheaper than I thought it might be. Still leaning towards this being a pass for me, however. Costumes aren't great, which is a big turn-off, but maybe if the reception is really great this will be a pick-up when it's on sale.

wow nice.

Something is off with the price. The game + DLC bundle has the dlc costing half of this price.

30 bucks is a fair price

No it's not. $20 would be more acceptable.

Well, it depends on the amount of content we are getting, which is something we still have to see.

Am I just blind or missing something here? What is this "Classic Characters Costume & Arranged BGM Pack" that is shown in the new Deluxe and Ultimate Edition bundles? Is that new and yet to be released then? Because I don't see mention it in the main DLC list.

Edit: Okay here's the image of those costumes. You might have got with those Bandai Namco. Need that Velvet costume for Shionne.

What if we already have rhe ultimate edition? Can we just buy the expansion and get them or is everything sold separately (which would be BS for supporting the game earlier).

30's way too steep, at least while attached to Arise. I know Bamco likes their DLC-fests for Tales games, but this is going just a smidge too far I think. Hopefully the whole 'everything can be purchased separately' part means the actual story content will be a more reasonable price but I mean.
Again.
It's Bamco.

Half the price of a full game seems reasonable. Makes you wonder why they didn't make a direct sequel full game instead.

These costumes don't come with the expansion. They will be a separate purchase along with the expansion itself.

And I hear you. I pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition back on original release, and it doesn't matter here. If we want the Expansion and the new DLC's we'll need to shell out around US$40-45 for it all.

The actually story part is the Expansion, and that's going to be US$30. No getting around that unfortunately. Obviously, you don't need to buy the new Classic Costume DLC or the Arranged BGM Pack either, which will be separate purchases from the expansion.

Yeah, I think it's reasonable, assuming that the 20+ hour claim is legit, and it's actually good content. I thought they would try and charge a bit more for it, to be honest.

But I guess the new Costume Pack and stuff is a way to get more out of people when they easily could have included that.

Before you tried defending the DLC, how about you read the DLC first.
The DLC have clearly explained
Pre-order now and get the following content as a bonus for the Beyond the Dawn Expansion:
• Elegant Costume Pack
- Special costume and hairstyle for Alphen and Shionne
- 4 Exclusive Cooking Recipes
Mabo Curry Bun Recipe
Fisherman's Hot Pot Recipe
Eastern Rice Recipe
Fruit Sandwich Recipe
- 12 Food Items

The current 30$ DLC are prepurchase version which included all of that. The Expansion story itself is not 30$.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. The Expansion is US$30 regardless if you pre-order and get the bonuses or not.

And that's enough to make me not want to buy the DLC at all, I liked the game enough to buy the ultimate edition twice (on ps4 and here) but it's always the same with these "ultimate" editions, they're never THE ultimate edition. Lesson learned, especially for Bamco and Capcom games.

[Rubyeyed]

Cheaper than you thought? It's way overpriced. When it drops to -50% I might, MIGHT, get it but as it is it's a joke. Literally, 2 of those dlc price tags and I can get the new yakuza instead. Far better value imo.

[alumlovescake]

its £10 cheaper if you are buying Arise for the first time
