F2P model fits well with MP games, especially if you are not the top dog in the genre. With correct implementation, it helps maintain a healthy community size which adds value for all paying customers.
Anyway good to see more f2p games on the PS3, i myself have sunk more than 100 hours into Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation so far.
Pretty generous of them. I was expecting at least 3 of the 4 playable characters to be males tbh.

some more info from the interview:
-Ein is based on DOA2 but have new moves. Users from DOA2 will not have any problem using him from the beginning.
-Jacky and Momiji are both made to be easy to use.
-with free version, you will be able to fight against all the characters
-they are planning promotions where they will have a certain character unlock for free for few days for people to try out. If they like that character, they can go buy that character.
-the full package user will not be able to tell if you are playing from free version.
-there is no limitations for free version like "you can play XX number of games per day." sort of thing.
-the free version is for PS3 only at this moment. They are working hard to get it on Xbox360 as well, but they cannot promise it will come.
