"A Role-Playing Game That Makes You Pay For Your Party Members"
I have to agree with Mord that this is a really crappy thing, and yet another sign of things to come.
Here's the comment by NIS America on this issue: "Unlocking characters through DLC is nothing new to our games. The difference for this time is that the additional characters are already in the game. Having these characters already in the game will help players attach to the characters, and if the players would like to play the characters they have options to download the DLC to unlock them. Having these characters in the party is like a tease."
That, in my opinion, is absolutely abominable. The ways that some game companies are handling their DLC these days is utterly beyond the pale.
