About how many blocks does this game take up?

I'm on the exact opposite end of the spectrum, I'm not going to buy it all because of that. Day 1 DLC is bullshit anyways, and now I already made my character and started the game.

I take issue with you calling it Day One DLC because it's not exploitative bullshit, it's an expansion that's been out for a year in Japan and is available in other regions straightaway at release.

It was free in Japan, though, wasn't it?

No, it cost 2,000 yen.

Katana Gomai posted:

How is deliberately using the older version of the game in order to sell the new content as Day One DLC not "exploitative bullshit"?

It's that or a more expensive bundled version like they got in Japan, and maybe there's not enough interest to have two separate retail versions in America.

I don't buy it, why not sell only the bundled version? There's no conceivable reason you'd want only the base game, and they stopped selling the base game in Japan as soon as Link! came out.

Maybe consumers would reject the premise of a $50 3DS game.

Why would it have to cost $50? Don't be dumb.

Sorry, $55 since that's how much it cost in Japan roughly.

Remember back when they made Pokemon Blue to improve Red and Green in Japan and then offered the improvements as day one DLC for the western versions

Blue was a fix/tweak rather than anything that actually expanded upon Red and Green, wasn't it?

Come on now, since when have NA/EU games ever been as expensive as their Japanese counterparts? DVDs cost like $60-$80 each in Japan too, are you going to start seeing random Japanese horror flick #207 start going for that in American stores too?

I'm really, truly sorry for trying to understand the subjects being discussed here.

Could be I'm missing something, but how do I take my pet along with me?
