So they are done announcing base game characters? Yeah announcing dlc characters before the game is our is annoying.
I 100% forgot they had names.
I'm not really a fan of hers... >_>
So I guess that confirms the the end of the base roster.
So the new characters confirmed playable are:
Groh
Geralt
And maybe the Mandarin looking guy
I gotta say I'm not happy with the low number of newcomers

Gross, the grubbing for extra money in fighting games is really putting me off the whole genre tbh. So shameless.
Her design is still so goofy, does not really fit in too well. I always liked her moveset though so whatev.
So by DLC is she being released after the fact, is she a pre-order bonus or part of the expansion pass?

They're trying to sell a season pass of some kind, so it's better that we know what's in it.
I'm concerned that they're showing her before the rest of the roster though, unless they've announced everybody already (??)
They have not. So it is definitely weird to show her in what looks like a completed state before the rest of the roster is revealed.
I'm not really a fan of announcing DLC characters before launch (I get the feeling she'll be a dlc character on launch maybe?), but i'm glad she's in. I really like her new design.
Yeah that's what i'm assuming. Doesn't make much sense otherwise.
**sigh** The character designs/costumes in this game are so boring and lazy. Absolutely no surprises at all...
Apparently she's the pre-order bonus character you get for buying the season pass.

There's a good chance she's a pre-order character. They'd probably want to advertise that so as to incentivize people to... you know, pre-order.
I don't get this. Because she isn't the character you get for pre-ordering the game... she's the character you get for buying the Pass...
DLC characters before the game is out. . . not that I was hardcore looking into this game in the first place, but it puts me off.
I wonder how low level tournaments handle DLC characters across multiple games? Do they beg friends/entrants to being their profile? And only have the DLC on the streaming setup - making everyone wait in-line to play their favorite character (making the event run later than the usual late).

Pre order bonus for buying season pass? what
so normal season pass owners not even gonna get
lmfao wtf is this shit
Her being DLC in this capacity basically says, to me that she has nothing, or little to do with the story content they're making... but they'd know fans would want her. So she gets shoved in the way most appropriate.
Base game characters are going to have campaigns, art from multiple sources, and various cinematics and stuff attached to them. Being DLC, she'll possibly have less of that, or some of it can be completed at a later date. Though you can be sure they'll be some files in the shipped game...
Companies never seem to find it weird. But there's enough customers that seem to be thrown off by it, that you'd think they'd stop it. But this isn't official yet, is it? So far it's the "Libra of Souls" mode that seems to be the proper reveal?

The wording in the article is weird. I would imagine that anyone who buys the season pass gets her, but stranger things have happened.
Well, they'll want to incentivise that too. If she's the pass-exclusive character you get at launch, they'll want you to know to help sell those deluxe editions. I don't think it's a sign that the base roster is finished.
Really glad shes in, she was my main in V. Glad they are sticking to her 3 design.
Namco realizes underboob is the patrician angle.
I know the base roster isn't finished. I mean the wording is incredibly weird. The season pass includes 3 characters plus a bonus character... which is Tira. But doesn't that just means it includes 4 characters? I don't get the significance of separating her out or saying she's special somehow. Because she will be available on day 1? I can't figure it out.
Maybe what it means:
Pre-order base game = free Tira
Buy season pass = Tira is included as a bonus, she's not part of the pass (maybe?)
Or buy base game (no pre-order), ignore pass, you can still buy Tira if you just want her
It kiiiinda makes sense that way

So like Eliza, but friendlier to season pass owners who don't pre-order.
That's... really dumb?
Like... do you want all rosters to be the same?
I can see it being you get her if you pre-order OR buy the season pass (that isn't clear though).
But the other two things still doesn't quite make sense. Because if she was "included as a bonus" for buying the pass, doesn't that make her part of the pass?
If you ignore the pass and buy her separately... won't you be able to buy all of the DLC characters separately?
Ok. that's some clarification at least. I would argue it's still a bit confusing though.
Tira is probably not considered part of the pass because she's free*.
So she's a "bonus".
I don't know I'm just making stuff up.
We don't know if the season pass characters will be sold separately yet either, but it would be crazy if they weren't.
No, but a lot of people enjoyed the time when most fighting games carried their entire rosters from sequel to sequel while only adding characters, like from Tekken 5 to Tag 2 or Soul Calbur III to Broken Destiny. Of course, that's now a bygone time, and ultimately was a bubble that couldn't keep expanding without resulting in something disastrously messy, like MK Armageddon. But it sucks to have to pay extra for your favorites, or--even worse--miss out on them entirely.
Preorder only, wasnt available for some time. It was awkward.
Tira as a timed bonus for the Season Pass makes sense as a way to encourage sales without the issues they ran into w Eliza.
I agree, it's basically nickel and diming your fanbase. But that was always the likely evolution of DLC. Instead of planning the most appealing and complete seeming product, it seems like they plan from the very beginning what they think is the acceptable amount of content and what existing characters can push DLC sales. Ironically BandaiNamco is also involed in Smash Ultimate with its abundance of character choices from the very beginning, even though the actual decisions are made by Sakurai and Nintendo.
She wasn't.
I got the collector's edition, with the statue, OST, Steelbook and season pass, and didn't get Eliza.
A lot of fighting games didn't do that. Street Fighter Alpha is a famous example, and added main stays in latter additions... you know like DLC
Or You know Tekken 3, the game who literally threw out a bunch of its roster, including its protagonist for new character
You are wearing rose tinted glasses and fighting games have been doing it since the 90's.
Nope. You could only get her if you preordered the game. She could be bought later alone for $5.
