Re: Tales of Zestiria - PS4 Oct 16, PC Oct 20, bonus content | Tales of Berseria - PS3/PS4 w/female
Playing a lot of fighting games I'm pretty guilty of buying costumes as well as buying every iteration of said fighting game.
I guess I'm not on the internet enough but I honestly don't see people complaining that Splatoon should be an online game. Also, I haven't run into anyone rude enough to summarize the Alisha troubles as players being upset over waifus.
It probably wasn't the intended effect, but I'm honestly concerned how Japanese gamers view Westerners.
You will be surprised by how open Japanese players are towards DLC. There are still haters of course, but they are the minority here.
Almost all of the Tales players I personally know purchase the DLC costume. I'm guilty of that as well, bought the God Eater, Ao no Exorcist, and beach costumes for Zestiria. If paying increases the fun, why not?
For example, I see many foreign players hating that Splatoon is a console game instead of an online game since it practically is one. But it is currently the hottest game here, we see no wrong with it since it is really extremely fun. Super Smash and Mario Kart as well with the DLC add-ons, come on those are extremely cheap and worth the fun! Look at how the smartphone industry is reigning with all the microtransactions and lottery draws.
I still can't get over that so many Western players still think that the Alisha fiasco is due to players losing their "waifus". One of the biggest reasons is because this 20-year old series actually dare to try this shit marketing after amassing so much fans throughout the years. Plus they keep giving excuses and more excuses for their actions... I bet the same reaction will follows if KH3 did the same thing.
