I agree on the costumes, but that Innocent Sin battle theme tho...
If they sold P2 BGM separately for 1.99 or whatever I would actually consider. Not buying the pack of boring costumes though! Too bad for them.
I really think the pricing is mostly okay, if all the costume sets were like Catherine/Raidou/Dancing/Swimsuit I don't think people would be complaining as much.
I mean imagine if this was the P2 costume set instead:

Their Arena costumes are really weird, though. I have no idea what they're going for.

(Nah, I meant I'd rather have a P5 Arena Game than a P5: DAN.)Their Arena costumes are really weird, though. I have no idea what they're going for.
Atlus pls.
Don't do it for me — do it for the world.

Damn they should've used Nagi's costume for the Raidou DLC. There's so many great designs in Raidou but they choose the schoolgirl 
It's amazing how there are so many alternate costume to buy but there is not one...not even a single alternate costume available for free. When other games do this (i.e. paid cosmetic) it usually causes all sorts of faux outrage even if the game already has some free cosmetics available by default, on the other hand people here seem pretty chill about it.

There are a few free costume dlc out now and some planned for the future. Think people are chilled about it because all the dlc costumes that are priced are based on other games and don't feel like they were taken out the game.

How does the BGM changes work? Is it relatively seamless?
Regardless, I think Atlus won't sell much of these at these prices. They probably should have bundled them together and priced them uniformly at like $10 for a full party set rather than selling each at $3. Or they could have bundled these up with small story Dlcs, and other stuff.
I know I would have bought those. They would have made more money that way than what they are doing now by seggragating all of it.

Why is this though? It's a blurry line, to determine what was taken out and what wasn't. It's costumes..from older games..how does selling them separately on launch week not feel like it was something taken out to be sold ?
$7 for that shit? Fuck it. I'd pay half that if they had actual Maya, etc costumes and not just uniforms.
Having this be drawn out gives players reasons to check back every so often, social media posts every week from their accounts, etc. Standard "post-launch" content batching.

its really common with japanese games to withold already completed DLC into these staggered releases. Tales of games do it with their costumes as well for example.
Pretty funny too, by Week 5 when the catherine costumes hit I'll already be done with the game. So I guess I'm not buying any costumes

Can we please get the cool 20th anniversary themes please!?! I'd pay $10 for them.
Yep, that was my thinking too. I was LTTP on Catherine, but I loved it so much - the Persona team is freaking amazing - I'm considering buying the costume DLC. Luckily I won't have started the game by then, but even so - would have been nice to have had the option from day one.
Uh guys...I am pretty damn sure all this DLC is on disc.
I just bought the Persona 3 and Persona 4 costume set, along with the two persona sets and basically I never got any download notifications at all. So I check the items under "add ons" and hey..the DLC was already showing up as installed despite there never being a download.
So I thought maybe this was added as part of some patch after release. But nope, game has had no patches as of yet, it's still Ver. 1.0
So yes all of this is on disc.

Do we know for sure that the P2 set doesn't include the Maya jacket, maybe for Makoto? I mean, that jacket is iconic, how on earth is that NOT part of the set unless literally everyone has the dumb high school outfits?
In any case, I don't think I'm getting any of these besides the free ones, and I probably won't even bother using those. I'd rather they have costumes that actually work in the context of the main game, I've never been a huge fan of the cross-universe/game stuff or the fanservice stuff.

It's incredibly irritating. It always just feels like content torn out of the game and then staggered for no reason except having something new to post on social media. Witcher 3 and Splatoon also did this type of thing, if I recall correctly.

See, that's what I don't get. Tales does this too, and half the time I'm done caring by the time they put out the costume I would buy. If it were there day one, I'd totally end up impulse purchasing.

What's your distinction between the content? Can you only charge for things that have any gameplay affect at all?
Gross as fuck. Splatoon did the disc-locked content slowly dripped out to simulate post-release support too. At least they had the courtesy to not gouge people for it. Get fucked, Atlus.

All this stuff was probably dlc in Japan but since we had to wait 6 months they were able to put it on the disk for us. Who cares though lol, its completely optional and is worth it for fans that want a certain set or Persona from previous games. Hell ill buy all of it if it helps Atlus release more!

I hate this kind of stuff. Talk about milking their customers for what it's worth... smh
Of course it is on disc. The game and all DLC has been out in Japan for months.
Kinda makes sense tho, game has been out for a while in japan.
So i guess this means only the japanese audio is actually downloadable?
I might get the P3 bundle, i need my mass destruction.
The price for these costume sets is pretty steep but them being on disk is a deal breaker.
Paying $7 for cosmetics is bad enough as is, paying $7 to use content on disk in a single player game is unacceptable tho.
This and the share block thing really soured me on P5. I still like the game itself but this, share blocking and the fact you pay more for a higher resolution are definitely things Atlus deserves to be called out for.

A lot of people prefer to pay for cosmetic items than to have gameplay locked behind pay walls. Final Fantasy XV has entire minigames as DLC (that started as preorder bonuses for specific stores). I have no problem supporting a developer for completely optional things that aren't required to make a game fun, if they make something cool I'd like (such as adding in the combat music from other games).

I'm with you but dlc is common place for most games unfortunately and I consider it a win when it's just nostalgic dlc being put on sale. Missed the days of Persona 4 when you would get a ridiculous amount of costumes.
We can dislike it all we want (and we will!), but reminder: You don't pay for data, you pay for licenses, you have currently a license to play the main game, the "DLC" you pay for is the license to access these costumes/music, method of delivery is irrelevant, even tho it's extremely shitty in spirit.
Likewise, and infuriatingly so, "share" is not currently part of the License, which is absolutely backwards and dumb and that's coming from someone who doesnt use the feature at all.

Anyone got a link of a video for the Protag theme and Makoto theme? I'm afraid to search myself in case a spoiler would pop up
Also, are we seriously not getting any of those 20th anniversary themes? Those are the best ones...

Why the hell do people care if it's on the disc or not?
The costumes were done either way??

This is purely speculative, but I want to say that the Equip or Stats page for each character has a costume section that you can use to change a character's costume? I remember seeing it in the menus.
Cool, I can manage with Teddie but that black and green so cool

Yeah. It replaces normal battle theme and victory tune only. Minibosses and bosses will use p5 music but dlc victory theme.
Correct.
Yes. You can mix and match across party members and also mix and match acessories.

"On disk" complaining...what year is it?
Anywho, this shit's expensive as hell. I don't blame anyone for skipping it.
