Please no. Let's never accept the shitty example set by WBgames/Netherrealm as the standard for fighting games regarding DLC. Let's always hope for better than that.

If the character is Mokujin or that stupid combot thing you guys are gonna go mental haha
If those character aren't going to be Lei and Julia, the community better be pissed off
Or at least their play styles on new characters

I hope it's Roger, but with his glasses and tie from Roger Jr.'s endings.
Guess Namco is going after the fanboys by making Eliza a preorder bonus. People are going to have a fit if Eliza is in this game and not one of the characters they've been emailing Harada about to add.
I'm still getting the game on PC, but this feels you're being punished for not preordering the deluxe version. And it's going to suck for tournaments to have two additional characters to deal with. I'm waiting to hear more and to see whether the NJPW content comes to the home version, and who the other character is before I bite.
NRS just uses 1 character as a preorder bonus, which isn't that bad considering the amount of content they put into their games and without an arcade version to earn money from.

Holy shit good point.....
This is the first time I've realised Lei isn't in it....
Yet the stupid ass panda is in it.

So wait Exclusive characters on the bonus edition?
I can't support this. Sorry Namco.

We don't know if they're time unlock or season pass or whatever. They won't be exclusive to the deluxe edition only.

Yeah I guess the second character will be such a gimmick character, like Dr. B, Gon or Lei Wulong.

You take that back!
Also I'd be annoyed if it was Anna Williams....
The three bonus modes in the past have been Tekken Bowling, Tekken Ball and Tekken Force. The third one is usually a meaty mode in its own right but I think it plays terribly so if it's that as the bonus mode I won't be interested.
I've been watching this game game since its teaser announcement at EVO and since green_tekken started streaming it, from the early Jack-7 shenanigans to the nerfs to Tekken 7: FR.
The game's been out in Japan since March 2015.
A few years of blue balls then the release date gets pushed back by several months.
I actually would rather have nothing.
You'll buy it and you'll enjoy it. If you're watching streams constantly you're already super invested.

Amazon has the release date as June 2nd but FYI - this is the last day of Q2 isn't it?
Tekken has a tentative release of Q1/Q2
I'd say it's a placeholder

You're one game late to the party though at least the TTT2 stuff was eventually free for everyone.
MS Store has June 2nd too

Glad to hear the arcade is still profitable for big names like Tekken

They did time release characters in TTT2 which were preorder bonuses to get early, and people didn't have an issue with that. Perhaps we could see if that's the case here before jumping to conclusions.
Also it's funny seeing that people are complaining that they are waiting for the final to be done before releasing it on consoles, considering I see in every other fighting game's thread complainants that other companies don't do that. The game came out in arcades in 2015 but it was like an early access version no one outside of absolute diehards would want to pay full price for.
The game is great in the form I played and I'm looking forward to snagging it day 1.

I know. I expected more from Bamco.

I thought Harada doesn't like/want paid DLC...? Ehh, well, I wouldn't really care much. Long as I got Lili, Lars, and Asuka, I'm good.
Pretty sick trailer, though. Not at all excited for the game, (lost interest in Tekken since a few years ago for some reason) but their story trailers are always cool to watch. I'm at least interested to see how the story plays out. Akuma's inclusion is still fairly weird, though.
Huh. Thanks for this. Never cared nor complained about the games coming out on arcades first, but this is pretty neat information. I suppose this could apply to Dissidia too.

Harada might not, but his bosses assuredly do.
Well there it is, thanks.
I need to see exactly what the content will be (the outfits and so). The figure looks good, but we know how much it differs from the final product.
