Tales of dlc

Tales of Graces was a game I bought even before I even had a PS3,hell,I even preordered it.
After I got a PS3 and played through other action games,I finally started the game and around 90 hours later,it became my favorite PS3 game.That was back in the summer,and now at the end of November,after playing a handful of more games,I still stand by that.

Naturally,I checked out some Downloadable Content for the game,this being a niche series,I wanted to throw some money at Namco Bandai.
Only problem is that the dlc is mostly overpriced costumes,while there's interesting stuff like being able to buy more inventory space and buying your characters 10 level ups in case you really suck at the game.
23.94 bucks to see this your copy.
There's alot of costumes to buy,alot of them are pretty nice,but you have to buy them individually.They all cost 3.99 and there's 22 different costumes!
You can unlock costumes as you progress in the game,but not these costumes,so it feels like they're pulling a fast one on the fans with this move.
They could sell them in packs like with the school costumes,but nope,they want 87.78 dollars from us if we want these costumes.

That costs more than the game when it first debuted,even more so now that a few months passed since the release,so what the hell?
The .hack//Link manga came out here,no excuses.

We didn't even get all the costumes that Japan had and at least the Japanese exclusives ones are from various anime.
Code Geass and .hack have english releases over here,so I doubt there would be any licensing issue holding these back.

Graces+Code Geass=so much fangasm.

















Even the Wii had some exclusive costumes.

Tales of Xillia is coming out 2013,and I hope the Dlc is better priced,but it probably won't be.
Saint Seiya had the same problem only there were 4 costumes and each were priced  £3.99,which is pounds.Guess who published the game in Europe?Namco Bandai,the publisher that has alot of anime games under their localizing belt.

The thing that blows my mind is how all the Dlc of Dragon Ball Raging Blast is FREE!Sure it's just a stronger copy of the characters with good stats,but regardless,why are you giving us rpg fans grief with these games?We want to help this series grow and get more games but wanting us to buy overpriced trivial items is not the way to do it.

Namco,get your act together,you've been pretty good with bringing japanese games to our shores  and that's why you have fans.If you want more money,be fair to your fans and we'd be glad to empty our pockets.
