$7 a pop for costumes and bgm. Kinda pricey.
Probably would only get P3 set for nostalgia. Still on the fence for the Catherine set.
lol P4D All Night costumes too? Atlus is really milking the shit out of it.
$68 for all dlc huh. Its kinda steep,

Yeah, those give you a great idea of what the sets are like. Nobody gets Akihiko's sweater, for example, or Maya's jacket. Morgana looks different though (obviously).

Yep. I am now back to buying no dlc.

From someone who's platinumed the JP version, here's how it works (and yes the prices are still insane):
Buying one costume set gives all 9 characters a new costume, and your general inventory 9 of a specific accessory (for example, EXP Up accessories). When the Protagonist wears the P4 costume, for example, it plays Time to Make History instead of Last Surprise in battle. The audio levels for the DLC songs aren't evenly matched, and they packs only come with two songs each - one for battle, and one for battle results. The swimsuit DLC does not contain any BGM.
The Persona packs give you two variants of the same Persona. They add otherwise unattainable Personas to your compendium, with one free summon. None of them are particularly spectacular, either.
There was an expert difficulty level made available in Japan (called Challenge) for free as DLC a month after release (after I had Platinumed it...,) but I'm not sure if that's going to be the case here, or if that's unlocked on-disc. It was on-disc in the JP version, just needed a 100kb unlock.....
tl;dr the DLC is neat, and none of it is available in-game, but very expensive. Grab what you want and be done, if that suits you.

These only show the costumes for 4 of the characters though, just wondering what the others look like.
That's really pricey to get all DLC, but I never intend to and I'm content with only 3 DLCs.
It's Sega AND Atlus, so of course it's only to get worse.
I'm kinda conflicted though. It's pricey as fuck and I think the price is too steep for what it is. But on the other hand, game price have been stale while development cost increase, which what makes them resort into this shit in the first place.
Two songs? lmao

The Japanese Take Your Heart edition came with some of it:
Izanagi DLC
Orpheus DLC
Persona 3 Costumes/BGM
Persona 4 Costumes/BGM
And the PSN Theme/Avatar.
I'm fully on board with the fact that the NA TYH version lacking these extras for the price of admission is rather crap.

I think I need that Catherine costume set, but that's about it.

Yet, we got all of the Yakuza 0 DLCs for free.

Damn thats expensive.
Im an idiot though, lll probably get the Catherine and P4 set.
EDIT: So Thanatos, Orpheus and Izanagi aren't in the game in any capacity? You have to buy them?

The costumes are only for those 4 characters. Its not the entire cast?
Izanagi gets Null Physical at lv 22 or some absurdly low level like that from what I've read, that's nothing to sneeze at. Stuff like that made me glad I didn't notice the DLC tab until I was 70% through the JP version, almost seems a bit balance breaking if anything.

Yeah, but that's what the entire cast looks like if I remember right, barring some minor uniform differences like Yusuke doing all the buttons up. The only one with a unique look in the other Persona sets is Morgana.
As shit as these prices are, I don't know if Yakuza is a fair comparison. That game came out in Japan 22 months before it did in NA. 7 months is a long wait, but it's nothing compared to Yakuza waits.

The entire cast gets a thematically appropriate costume, it's hard to find media that shows it off because Atlus.

Hmm the persona 3+4 bgm and costumes are tempting, but 7 is kinda steep. 5 would seem more reasonable imo.
JP also got a bunch more sets free including the Catherine one rip.
The party has swimsuits and casual wear outfits they use in cutscenes. JP got them as actual costumes as free DLC.
What the protag wears changes the battle music and victory jingle.

It's a shame the best costumes, Catherine, are coming so late. But at this point I could care less, just give me the gaaaaammmmeeeeee.

I'll probably buy the lot, glad that Kaguya is week 2 but it doesn't mention Ariadne anywhere so I assume Labrys' persona will be quite a bit later.
Oh well that's kind of rubbish then :/ No Maya jacket is really disappointing.
They also change the battle music plus victory jingle, but IIRC some of the sets also have not really game-changing accessories.
P3 one gave EXP up accessories. Catherine one gives status resist. There's one that ups your Persona capacity and SP. Stuff like that.
I hate the staggered release model of over a month that tends to happen with JRPGs, because it just means I probably won't bother buying any of it. I usually play through one game at a time and then move on to another one once I finish it, so if the DLC I'm interested in won't be out for weeks I'm not gonna go back to the game for it.

Nope. There are personas you can buy with their own unique skills as well as costume specific accessories (whatever that means). I'm sure someone who has played the japanese version can clarify the latter a bit more. But its definitely not just cosmetics.
These aren't bad although some of them are too similar. I dig Yusuke/Minato.
I thought P4 costumes give Reach Out To The Truth.

Too pricey, but then again Persona 2 BGM and costumes are so tempting damn.
Na, the P4 Dancing ones play a remix of that.

Persona != Shin Megami Tensei
In fact, they've even dropped the Western association with the name with this latest entry as far as I can tell.

Forgot how great the main cast design was in general. Do the dlc costumes add animation from the game it comes from. Chie karate pose or akihiko boxing shuffle should be part of the dlc.

It wouldn't hurt to spoiler tag that footage, since it's of a dungeon that hasn't been shown in trailers. Not much is shown, but still.
