This. Are you guys new to fighting games? While it's unfortunate, Capcom, SNK, and everybody else have been doing it for years. I'm ecstatic already that Marie and Adachi are free for the first week and Margaret is only $5.
Do you think this is an acceptable excuse? "Everyone else is doing it?"
Especially for music that is existing from older games.
"Are you new to fighting games" LOL. That's probably the funniest thing I've read today.
Whoopsie, edited. Well at least they didn't do it for KOFXIII lol

I'm not defending the practice, I was just pointing out that nickel and diming players has been a staple of fighting games this past gen. I don't get why the uproar for something it was more or less expected at this point. See: BlazBlue navigators, DOA5 costumes, etc.
It's unacceptable to take existing songs from old games and resell them as packages.
I don't really care how long whatever piecemeal practice has been going for. Persona music is very nice, any player who buys this game should be able to listen to old existing songs from the franchise just like in the previous version of this game.
Also "uproar". This word manipulation is glorious... voicing objections is now an uproar?
When did this happen? I only remember character themes, mirror match, and P3 match as fight BGM selections.
I think he's referring to the fact that the old game didn't lock away songs via DLC.
Like if you wanted to jam out to Mass Destruction, you could do itno need to throw away money for "song packs."
Yep. Also Mass Destruction IS my jam, how did you know? lol
BABY BABY BABY BABY BABY
Unless you can sell your copy of P4A for more than 10$ (which is what this DLC costs), then it would be illogical from a financial point of view.
It seems like an odd perspective to me. Let's say that with the baseline release, you get access to all of the songs used as fight music in the arcade version: character themes, a special matchup theme or two, and maybe a few songs from P3/P4. With the DLC, you can also use songs not originally part of the arcade version, or potentially not even used in the current game's story mode.
Would it have been better if these songs weren't a selectable option than for them to be DLC?
Mass Destruction is secretly everyone's jam.
Not at all. The baseline release included a smaller roster and a lack of modes. The console release includes a host of new characters, modes, stages and several new songs. And yet, they arbitrarily decided to lock off a few songs (that are on the disc) for some extra cash.
It would have been better if they were free, period.

Awesome OT! I'm so psyched to play this tomorrow! I've clocked in a ton of hours with the first, and I'm excited to clock in a ton more with this. I added my name to the player list, but I may need a day or two to get back into it; I haven't played in a month or so.
Yeah, I'm really happy KoFXIII didn't go crazy on DLC. And they even gave us a color edit mode which was awesome.
I wish ASW would do that one day, but it'll be forever DLC.
Yeah whether or not the songs were on the disc doesn't make a difference to me, but I am arguing on a case of value. The songs which are signatures of the series and already available for reuse should most certainly be free.
I absolutely agree with all three things posted here lol. For the amount of effort it takes to create character colors, I very much dislike them being sold as DLC. From another standpoint in value, I would argue that colors should always be free; I'm sure that statement has its detractors though.

I'm pretty confident it's only temporary. The US version hasn't gotten whatever compatibility patches that add the three DLC characters to character select yet.
That would make way more sense.
Eh? I could have sworn I read a tweet from them saying it's not locked and we're only behind because we don't have the margaret patch yet.
EDIT: Pfft... beaten.
Will the DLC be live at midnight or will we be waiting until the store update for that?
T6 and TTT2 didn't. SCV was only one character (which you could get free as a pre-order). The rest was all cosmetics and music/videos from old titles.

Most likely the store update, but not 100% sure.

Harada is a bro though.
The last line of defense for complete fighting games.
why didn't more people buy TTT2
Weird, the previous game definitely did.
Perhaps not too weird in this circumstance, as it's probably related to the whole region lock debacle and how this time there isn't one. Wada stated that the JP version didn't have English text because it is region free.
See right above. There is no Japanese voices outside of battle VA in the game.
Yeah, I saw. Just maybe there's a possibility of it existing in some form...(besides the Japanese version)

Subete no aware
This is as idiotic as the FF13 language debacle on Steam thing. Yeesh.
That option should change it for everything, I think. It does on the JP version, anyway.
Oh the game has unlocked already! Nice!
Yes! I wasn't expecting it for another three hours.
PS. No Japanese voices > region lock, any day.

Me neither guys. Nice that they went by EDT :lol
You guys on PSN? I'd be up for a random lobby right now.

Nope. No luck. Just battle voices. When characters are shouting the title of the game at the start menu, they do so in English.
Would be nice since it would let people avoid having to add everyone to your friends list.
At any rate, looking forward to getting combo'd into oblivion by GAF. Grabbing the physical version tomorrow morning (at least it better be at the store). No soundtrack disc this time around?
That really sux about no dual audio for story mode. My friends always play when possible the undub version of the jrpgs. Not much of a problem for me in arena, just going to play for the matches anyway.
Hope it is just need a patch to unlock the dlc color from preorder. Or else the pre order was for nothing...

I'm guessing the voices in the story mode are only in English as well? Disappointing, but you can't really expect Atlus to be progressive when it comes to dual audio.
Wish Amazon.ca had shipped my copy today. It hasn't even "prepared to ship" yet, actually. Hope they get on that soon, I want to try out the new characters already!

Are they making songs that were in the first game (as you fought) dlc?
