None of this, unfortunately. Would have been fun to see.
They've got some ways to catch up to the DoA franchise.

What about the really cool PS4 home screen theme that has the theme song that the Japanese CE got??
Sold.

Also just thinking about Baby baby baby makes me want to play P3 again instead of pay the $7 to hear the music in P5

Yeah 7 is a bit much for what it is. Going to wait for the inevitable atlus sale

I mean...yeah? Maybe I'm not up on current DLC pricing. But that's out of my comfort zone.

Dead or Alive 5 will never be beaten.
Thats like $450+ worth of costumes.
Dang that sucks.
If each costume was more unique then I'd be more willing, but these are going to be like $10 a pop minimum here in Australia and that's just too much for what they are.

Dunno why you wouldn't just release all of it at once. Especially the costumes.
Oh you like Catherine? Well you'll need to wait a month to play the game with those costumes for no other reason than we are sitting on them.

Some of the DLC costume packs offer more variety. The Catherine one in particular gives each party member a completely different look.
What sort of costume dlc pricing from another game offers more value?

Considering Dancing All Night existed largely as an engine to pump a shitload of DLC into its player base you might already be in too deep.

I don't think it's necessarily the value, it's just the psychology of DLC that's $1.99 vs $6.99. If something is $1-2, it's an easy impulse buy. At $7 you start scrutinizing the purchase much more. I freely admit to being susceptible to that. see also: app prices
edit: also this. If the $7 included a Catherine-themed mini-dungeon or something, it'd be a no brainer for me. At $7 the value expectation is a bit different for me than $1-2.
For just $0.99 more you could get 8 entire tracks in MK8 [with new music] + 3 characters [and some change]. Stuff like this will always be a bum deal.

The Catherine one with unique outfits seems worth it to me. A lot of them just have pretty much the same outfits on every party member with a few differences though.

This is my favorite part of your post, and it's not going unnoticed.
In that case isn't the problem being shitty costumes rather than the pricing being bad?

The p3 costumes look like generic gekkoukan student shit. No real p3 flavour. And only mass destruction? Sad!

Why do JRPGs have such ridiculously pricey DLC for small things such as outfits and BGM? I'll never understand it.

I have always found it dumb making people pay for DLC that's been out for months, just because the game is now out in other regions. It's fucking stupid with fire Emblem, and it's fucking stupid here. Screw this (expensive) mess.
$7 is a lot of money to spend, especially on a single dlc theme. Even then there's some half-assed ones in that bunch.
For $6 you get a 16-20 unique costume set in Dynasty Warriors 8. For $2 you can also get all the camp backgrounds or a set of unique weapons. All of that is really detailed and has better value imo.
And I say this as someone who will be replaying this a lot.
Wouldn't be a Persona game without a beach and/or hotspring scene.

What about the JPN voice-acting DLC? Or the Challenge difficulty ULC?
In that case isn't the problem being shitty costumes rather than the pricing being bad?
Kind of a silly distinction. The pricing being bad or not is obviously directly related to the value the product presents (the shittiness or quality of the costumes).
No? I mean, people are shitting on ME:A for being a rushed buggy piece of shit now, but no one questions it being a 60 dollar game right? We accept that is the cost of a new game today, but lament the quality of the product itself.

Is all the P5 DLC cosmetic and BGM DLC? Did they release anything storywise as DLC in Japan?

Yo is this a joke. Fucking $7 for costume DLC.

And cancelled. Fuck all this immediate release DLC. Snag it when it tanks in price.
I also see people often say to wait until a game drops to a certain price point before diving in. Definitely heard people say No Man's Sky would be a good value proposition as a $15-20 downloadable title. So many people will go "$60, no. $40, maybe."

I take that back, even the unique costume packs at $7 is stretching it. I don't think the costumes are shitty, I'd be willing to buy them at a lower price.
When other games' DLC can offer a whole expansion worth's of content for $15 or less (see: Souls games, various Nintendo games) then yeah, the pricing is the problem. Whales will be whales though so not much can be done about it.
Out of curiosity to people buying the costumes for the music changes, why? I mean, I love the battle music from P3 and P4, don't get me wrong, but I like them in that game. Feels odd to think of hearing Mass Destruction when it isn't P3MC and crew, and so forth.
Yeah I want to hear the new soundtrack, so I won't be using any of these on the MC if I get them.
Between the launch collection and six season passes that's an easy $650.93 right there, that doesn't include the all the preorder costumers either which you have to buy separately if you want everything
Musou sounds like great value. I'm used to paying 3-5 bucks for individual costumes in fighters and RPGs, so this honestly feels about the norm to me. Even cheap!
Now I know why everyone keeps playing Musou!
