Extra content from Fantasy Life Link will be released in US/EU as Day 1 DLC
- Thread starter Santar
- Start date
i'll play along.
do you mean there'd be no complaints if Nintendo decided to withhold the cut content until a later date because it might mitigate the day 1 DLC issue?
iunno about that. depends on the pricing and when they're planning on releasing it then, right?

I'm still day 1 buying the game. And if I like the game enough I'll buy the DLC. It's a little disappointing but I'm just happy to get the game. If buying the DLC eventually makes me part of the problem then oh well.

I have this pre-ordered with a 30% discount, but I am not going to be playing it anytime near the release date. Instead, I will be playing it near January. Now, I am likely to just cancel my pre-order and buy it when it is cheaper than my 30% discount.
Awesome, we'll have to do online sometime with it when it comes out.
Actually that was a case of DQJ2 or nothing as they basically picked up SE's localization of Joker 2 off of their scrap heap (along with DQ VI) and they weren't going to go back and do Professional.

Depending on how much the DLC costs this probably just turned into a used purchase for me.

I hope people that are saying that they might skip the game now are actually gonna wait and see what the actual situation is, especially how much the DLC is.
Nintendo isn't handling this the best way, but it's not like you're paying for something that was free in the first place, and we're still getting the most important part of the Link upgrade bundled in with the game. (Multiplayer.)
It would be great if it all came together, but considering Nintendo's other DLC, I imagine the price will be reasonable. It would really suck for people to miss out on the game, and for it to potentially impact sales negatively because of this situation. Everything I've seen and heard about the game make it seem really incredible.

Basically my stance on this.
Day 1 DLC might play a big role in why the West is getting Fantasy Life in the first place, who knows. At the same time, this doesn't make this acceptable from a consumer perspective, especially considering the delay. At least the most important element of the Link! expansion, online mode, is included in the base game, so that's a ray of light.
Still super excited for the game, though, obviously. Day 1 purchase for me, including the DLC. Hopie the game will find an active player base on GAF.

The Japanese expansion also contained the multi-player mode and the chat, which is in our retail version of the game.

I bought the Japanese copy Day 1 and had to pay extra for the Link content, so why shouldn't you?
Because you got the game almost a full 2 years earlier. They should have localized the retail version of Fantasy Life Link instead of the base game.

Because we had to wait two years for the game to be localized.

I think this sucks mainly because they stated earlier that the version published in US and Europe is based on the Link version of the game, and now we find out that the additional game content that was supposed to be part of that Link version is being sold as DLC.
Not going to cancel my pre-order or anything, this is one of my most anticipated games of the year and still going to get it Day One, but still, a thing like this so close to the launch definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. Not going to buy the DLC, at least at launch.
