Weird how people criminalize story DLC, but turn a blind eye towards monetizing skins.
Why is paying for skins okay, but you expect story DLC to be free? This level of logic is incomprehensibly naive. I am MORE than happy to buy more story DLC for a game that I cannot get enough of the story of. Example: Loving Witcher 3. Only just started it, and I know I'm in for a long run. But I already know I will buy the new upcoming expansion because I want even more story. That's just who I am.
Meanwhile... skins? Couldn't care less. I don't mind customization in RPGs, but I tend to run with default looks for my first playthrough, because to me, that's how they're DESIGNED to look. But that's just me.
It's funny because people actually legitimately consider FFXV as a masculine version of X-2.
(No, it's not funny, but you know what I mean.)
Reminds me of those weird and silly Japanese people that originally thought (at launch) Lightning Returns was a dating simulator game, and thought they just dressed her up and made her look pretty, because the promotion focused very aggressively on the amount of schemata at her disposal. And then when they were upset that it wasn't what they thought, they returned their copies.
It just goes to show you, people's lopsided perceptions of games make and break a game's success. I personally chalk it up to the general public being gullible, and borderline idiotic, but there it is.
