Sorry, I forgot to mention knowing about all the previous DLC being part of this package. The situation is this, I'm seeing myself more of a casual fighting fan lately. Or I'm at least trying to ask myself the question why I'm playing these games. I am not putting the time to master characters, let alone one. 20 sounds like more than enough for me. I've always been into single player modes and do not care about online either. The deal is great, but am I really going to make use of it? And I try to get stuff as cheap as possible. It seems excessive unless the additional story mode is worth it, or some of those DLC characters are an absolute must have. What do you think? I would really appreciate your opinion. It has been difficult finding reviews of the extra stuff
Ah gotcha. The story mode in BBTAG is really nothing to write home about. It's pretty short (~5hrs) and pretty repetitive in structure. The extra story from the DLC is a little more fun and not as rigid in its structure but I don't think the DLC/Special Edition is worth buying for the extra story alone.
Wrt characters, kinda depends what you're looking for. Are you a fan of any of the properties in BBTAG (Blazblue, Persona, Under Night, RWBY)? The DLC contains a lot of these characters (well, only one additional RWBY character, Neo). They are pretty fun to play around with imo but not essentual especially if the base roster already has the characters you want. And even if it doesn't the DLC can still be bought piecemeal in packs.
The thing though overall with BBTAG is that it doesn't really offer much in terms of SP content.
It doesn't have an arcade mode and like I mentioned the story is nothing to write home about. So if you don't care about online I'd maybe recommend BB Centralfiction instead (which is also on sale). That game has a long (30h), intricate visual novel style story mode, it has an arcade mode with multiple routes for almost every character and also features a score attack mode with stat level ups and stuff.
BBTAG is still fun to fool around in as the game is fun to play but there really isn't much there if you don't care about online.
