So your just talking out of your ass. Great to know.
Nobody in this series looks like a martial artist except Baek and Hwaorang in their karate gi's. The stylized look is how things should be

Kinda expected this "delay" since they gave out a PS4 build of a game to a recent tournament in Europe. The build still had long ass loading times and missing half the stages. If it was coming out in Early 2017, i imagined that their build would be near final.
Season Pass just tells me that Namco now wants our money to keep the game updated alongside the arcade version. I want to say a while back that they mentioned that the plan is to keep the arcade and console version updated side by side.
And hot damn a 1060 for recommended specs?!
And lol Eliza.....

TTT 1 & 2 in general are non-canonical (same with Tekken Revolution). Jun was in all of them too.
Hey, I'm just being realistic.
I'm a bit tired and not going to check, but iirc she's actually reasonably popular in Asia arcade. There's less popular characters who didn't get in.
Speaking of popular characters who didn't get in due to similarities to other characters, RIP AK. Now there's a popular character who got shafted.

Only because most of the time, she was teamed up with Asuka. With anyone else or even individually? I doubt it.
Now Armor King is someone who should be brought back.

I see your point . I just feel it beats the negativity surrounding the game in its early arcade releases , aka alpha/beta state . Not everyone was underwhelmed then , but plenty were not happy with the title as it stood , when it came to the new but broken mechanics , the stages chosen , the character list , and all the complaints about the dated graphics it had . And all of that negative hype would be there with a console release 1.5 to 2 years ago .
Skip to 2016 and now in arcades , when it enjoy success so far , at least even from some of the arcade players initially unhappy . It's a quite different game now , beyond just revamped and updated graphics
Well... I wouldn't discard the spoiler motive if I were you
If they even cared about that they would just draw her as a milf instead of an aged person. Its not a big deal. nina is old enough to be everyone's grandma and is already a MILF anyway, so is Annanana.

Pretty glad to hear that the release date has been confirmed, but not what some expected since the tentative date before was "early 2017." Though as long as the game is being polished up, then I'm fine with it. Though what worries me is that it's being released around 2 weeks after Injustice 2, which I feel will put a dent on T7's sales, giving NRS' track record of their games selling extremely well.
Probably won't get it day 1, since I will be at a tight budget. So probably no free Eliza for me. :/
After being around for years, I'm a little bummed that T7 has a season pass. But then again loads of games have season passes these days.
Having legacy costumes and a jukebox mode is great, but gotta feel bad for those that are planning to get the XB1 and PC version. Personally, it's not the PS-exclusive content I had in mind.
Edit: Also when's Julia?

Anyone know how the balance is in the latest arcade version, not asking if tiers exist that's a given, but how big is the gap relative to past Tekkens?
Also does anyone know if this game will have patches?
None of this matters until High School Love is confirmed: the Greatest Tekken track
High School Love
You've had 2 years Harada, I've been sending those emails jus like Arnis told me.

1. Technically, he never died. 2. Was done for marketing and tribute reasons in a non-canon game 3. We are back to canon
Well, fuck that. For how ludicrously hypersexualised the game already is, at least Harada hasn't dared to do this in canon outside of the already established example of Nina and Anna.
Also, we should stop asking for Jun. She isn't necessary for any story reasons
and she would be just a clone character of the *sigh* most popular character of the game

Haven't really played Tekken since PS2 days, really looking forward to 7. Not often that a fighting game comes out that has a lot of characters I'm interested in trying
Best Xiaoyu costume for sure
That should come as a relief. Should be no characters in the season pass. Free content updates (ala Tag 2), sure, but paid characters? Blah. Sucks that NetherRealm made it "okay" to do.
Are they unlockable in game or only real money?
Unless Namco reveals differently, these are paid DLC characters only.

This was bound to happen. I don't think Namco could of done it any other way. The days of "free" are over (though SFVs model works). DLC should be content that's built and released after the game's release. Not cut content to be sold as DLC.
They say they did it because they kept getting request's. Makes sense to me, they never update/support their games after release like pretty much every other fighting game dev.

If the mods are good, I'll buy this for PC/Steam. Hope it has crossplay with at least one of the consoles too.
Um, every Tekken game since 2 has added characters post-launch. I still remember the excitement of seeing a new character every week. Then, the home version came out after the arcade's unlock process had finished (granted, in most of the earlier games they made us re-unlock everybody by blowing through arcade mode over and over). Obviously, in the early games, all the characters were in the game to begin with, they just didn't appear in the game until a certain number of days had passed. Nowadays, they're added via patches.
The big difference with this latest game is that apparently, they're adding more characters to it even after the console version releases. This is similar to how Sega recently handled Project DIVA Future Tone. They sold us DLC for the PS4 version that included songs added to the arcade game after the PS4 version came out.
I just wonder how many characters it is. I see mentions that there are only 2. What's the source for this? The official press release does not give a number.

That game already has a billion characters, stop whining. Namco tried the free character thing and no-one cared, it's still a business and I think people here can afford to pay a few extra pennies if one of the characters is a character they like.
Tekken doesn't make much money on consoles as it is, we should support namco and harada as much as we can if we want this franchise to survive. Rather than spewing negativity about the fact that we have to pay for the extra work they put in to create console exclusive characters.
Personally, I'll get the season pass, I doubt it'll cost a lot and if it adds to the game then all the better.
Here's a reminder that they could've gotten away with releasing this game with minimal story mode, lack of features, a tiny cast, barely any bonus modes, no extra costumes, no customisation, etc. like Street Fighter V did.
(who wants to bet this game has more cutscenes than FFXV did?)

I'm just glad to have a release date.
Hmmmm.
The "hundreds of additional costumes" line makes me wonder if they're going the route of the console version of VF5FS, and making you pay for customization items...either per-character or Season Pass...ick.

You're doing it wrong Namco. You're doing it wrong.
Could have been worse. Could have just been the boring schoolgirl uniform.
Unless another fighting game adopts SFV's Fight Money system (maybe MvCI or the rumored Riot fighting game), paid DLC in fighting games is the norm. Hell, even Smash has (7) paid DLC characters.

Same goes for her T3/TTT 1 costume that I posted as well as her dress from Tekken 4.
