While 32GB cartridge are currently out there, at the moment, most companies are only using the 16GB cartridge for larger games, and considering how the latest Blazblue game for the PS4 (a game that has 35 characters on disc) requires 19.56 GB to download, some cuts are probably necessary to ensure that Switch version is on par with the PS4 version without having to having to do an additional download in order to get the rest of the game.

Eh, I think it's more of business tactics than that.

That's definitely AKS business model, not an issue in term of space, otherwise, they could do just make part of the game being downloadable like LA Noire without making the customers pay more.

I could definitely see them wanting to get some money via DLC (that's pretty much is a standard with fighting games these days). However, considering how the upcoming SNK Heroine game for the PS4 and Switch also has a small amount of fighters for a tag-team based game (and with me wondering if that game will have DLC characters in the future), I do wonder if cartridge size is also playing a role here (with Japanese companies trying to avoid the LA Noire route of having to download the rest of game onto the Switch).

If characters come in free DLC or can be bought with a few million of in-game currency, then it's cool...one can only hope.

I feel like this is a MvC:I situation where they were given a severely limited budget.

Personally, I don't particularly mind if the price is reasonable (say... $40 for the base game and $20 for DLC), but given the recycled sprites and limited roster, I definitely understand the backlash.

That's possible considering a lot of Arc Systems Works' effort seems to be towards that DBZ fighting game.

The Japanese LE version will come with a download code for ALL the DLC characters, so I wonder how much it is.

Kyero Fox · 2018-01-25, 13:09

Every RWBY character is a slot waste imo =\

DLC news from the EVO 2018 lineup reveal stream:
Blake and Yang will be 100% FREE.
BBTAG is also one of the games being played as part of the main lineup for EVO 2018.

MrTerrorist · 2018-02-07, 03:52

YES! They finally wise up that it wasn't a good idea of making half of Team RWBY DLC.

darkofficer · 2018-02-08, 11:16

it seems more like damage control to me.

it seems that they have buffed her already

blakstealth · 2018-02-08, 21:27

in more ways than one.

MrTerrorist · 2018-02-10, 05:11

English dub for all characters has been confirmed!

blakstealth · 2018-02-10, 10:22

that's crazy since Under Night characters don't even have an English dub

Tokkan · 2018-02-15, 06:45

DLC pricing:
Blake: FREE FOREVER
Yang: FREE FOREVER
Pack 1 (Platinum the Trinity, Orie, Kanji Tatsumi): 600 yen (Free for early buyers)
Packs 2-6: 600 yen each
All-in-one Pack: 2,400 yen.

There will also be a 7,800 yen digital deluxe edition of the game that includes the All-In-One DLC pack, shaving 400 yen off the total cost.

Edit:

blakstealth · 2018-02-15, 13:50

Not paid compared to paying $8 a character in regular BlazBlue.
