Again, Arcsys dropped the ball on that one by being vague as shit.

$80 total is not too bad of a price given how Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, costs like $90 total if you put in all the character DLCs as well and unlike BBTAG, they're a single character instead of 3 different ones. The $70 season pass isn't too insane either considering if you look at other games that ARE full price and have more expensive DLC, BBTAG is not the worst of them. It's still shitty but eh, they're a company, not a charity.

If that's legit too high for you, then you can still play the game without the DLC anyways and just download Blake and Yang to complete team RWBY. That's what I'll do since I'm a cheapskate.

At the end of the day, a good chunk of the US population can probably shelf out $10 if they want to support a game. I know we can't since we don't exactly live in the most well-developed of countries.

Reused assets in this case is hyperbole. The sprites are reused yes (only UNiEL sprites are being tweaked), but the coding behind them is likely different due to how the fundamental system of each three games are completely different. This is moreso with UNiEL since they were developed by French-Bread and only published by Arcsys.

So in this case, if they're using Blazblue as the core, then they have to rework the code for each P4 and UNiEL character. Hell, some of them even got new supers out of it since Gordeau's old super got modified and turned into a resonance super.

I kinda get why they wanna rush it to come out (EVO), so delaying is not an option. So they did the next best thing and made everyone DLC before they're finished. I'm also assuming since their budget is super low, they're using the funds earned from the base game to developer the second half of the roster faster.

Is it excuseable? Probably not. Arcsys has notoriously bad DLC practices.

But eh, if Yuzuriha is in one of the DLC packs then I'll bite the bullet and buy that bundle.
