What's with the disgustingly overpriced dlc???

[AznaktaX]

Am I missing something? It's basically 3 new areas, a few extra items and characters, and some cosmetic items. How is that worth more than the price of a base game?!?

You know what? Scratch that. Here's another question. Why did the dlc come out in such a short time after the game's launch?? That means it's very likely content they kept out of the game to sell separately. Why does no one else seem to question this??

Seriously. Can someone explain what is the deal here?!?

nah this question came up on a weekly basis

What vkobe said. I havent played this game, but in Firis the character DLCs they sold were characters taken from the actual game. They are even in the actual opening movie...

I'm guessing since they arent making Plus versions anymore, Koei decided to milk the games in different ways.

to be fair. the dlc is kind of pointless to the main game. only worthy dlc is the one with the spiked boots and the free mats thing. cause really all the recipe dlc became obsolete around chapter 8-10 maybe even earlier. i never cared for them you already get a full party of people so why buy two characters? you get plenty of story with the dlc characters without buying them. to be fair the dlc is just there for more content to play with. more characters to get friendship with. more places to visit *and useless recipes besides the spiked boots. even then thats not really much* so regardless you still get the games full experience without the dlc.

(the only fights i actually got hurt in was the one against sophie the gods and end teir bosses. even then everything else as i progress didnt really hurt much. cause i equiped items that helped fight certain bosses also cause i made armor and gear that boosted my stats greatly and carried items that were useful. and level grinded. the gold coin was a blessing for that.)

In Firis the 2 characters are completely cut from the game. They dont even appear in the game at all if you dont have the DLC.

I'm guessing thats different in this game then.

In this version they just become playable (there is story content for them without dlc) and irrelevant bonuses. I can imagine when firis. Or sophie first came out some of the content that's in the game were dlc honestly this just sounds like pointless whining I'd see a reason to complain if they locked mechanics Like using catalysts. enhancers or combo attacks behind dlc. Cause thats mechanics. complaining about extra playable characters or obsolete recipes(I ain't kidding. The only useful recipes are the spiked boots)*there are loop holes for getting high quality items* even new areas that are irrelevant to the games progression. main story or mechanics seems pointless. Dlc that lock major story plot or mechanics are actually a reason to complain. (Like what sword art online fatal bullet dlc is doing. Locking game mechanics and main story plot behind dlc like how upgrading your accessories were not on the base bloody game)

How is it pointless if it's part of the game??

This is not part of the game, it can be part of the game.

well logically speaking when ever a game series does that. they always edit the intro to fit what they added. and i dont remember they had the characters in the intro try and google the intro of when it first came out. i saw one from sep 21 2016. that didnt have the dlc characters i recall there were a few different game intros to them. annnd well alot of games even jrpgs or jmmorpgs changing their intros to fit to the content they added.

[Tiasmoon]

They never edit the opening when they dont change the game version. Only times they do is when its an entirely different game version (IE: like with blazblue and its arcade/PS releases)
However they only change it for the newer versions, never the old ones.

MMOs only ever use the current opening movie, so they arent relevant.

So this game is one of the first and only to do that.
