I don't know what came over me. Not only do I not support what Namco does with downloadable content, but I scolded anyone who planned on doing so. The sad thing is, the content was way overpriced too.I'm so sorry. I just couldn't resist.
So the other day I spent 300 points each to get a costume and accessories pack for Rita and Estelle in Tales of Vesperia. Three outfits and three accessories each. Instead of the Estelle you see above, my Estelle can now wear a maids outfit with glasses. What the fuck have I become???
Honestly though, I don't feel so bad. I have played countless Tales games in the past, and though the quests to get outfits are very fun, they all come extremely late in the game. I checked my save data for Tales of Symphonia the other day and the clock was at 90 hours! I probably got most of the outfits over 60-70 hours into the game. I will still do these quests if they are available for me to do so; provided I even care about the game at that point.
My reasoning is this. I'd rather spend a little bit of money now and have a whole wardrobe for my Tales girls for the entire game than wait another 50 hours to get them. I played many many hours of Tales of the Abyss and never got but one costume. I put the game down eventually and never finished it. Maybe if I had more costumes from the start I would have finished the game.
Nevermind...
...I'm fucking pathetic.
I'm sorry for perpetuating everything that is wrong with Namco and their shitty DLC efforts.

P.S. The only thing keeping me from buying the same set for Judith and wasting another 300 points....
...was the fact Namco hasn't released hers yet.

Jesus, for a costume? What is wrong with you? 300 points for a couple costumes is terrible and definitely is a waste, you won't even care 30 minutes later after you get it.
Wow, way to go brad. As shameful as it is, I can understand. I would have done the same thing...sadly.
I don't blame ya. Sometimes, I'll pay for the most ridiculous of things in gaming. Yet still, even when I buy them, I don't regret it, and neither should you, brad!
Good...
Fucking...
Lord...
Well, the only thing from keeping me from doing the same thing is the fact that I have no money so :p
For shame, Brad. For shame. :(
Though I haven't done this myself (LiVE won't accept debit cards) I can totally understand. TR:Legend kept me going for more than twice its' typical length because of unlockable outfits. Most people don't understand it, but for some of us bonus aesthetics make the game a lot more enjoyable. Clear your mind of shame, Simons!
Although, buying it after scolding everyone else is pretty low. :P
Brad Brad Brad. Dear Brad. After all that boycotting you decided to buy them anyway. Tsk Tsk.
Well, who am I to judge. I seem to purchase rediculous shit from time to time. I bought every DLC track for Motorstorm as soon as they were released, and no matter how hard I tried there were only a few match that ever had those tracks. I thought I'd learn my lesson after the 2nd by but oh no, I just had to fucking purchase the others. -_-
Boycott startiinnngg...... NOW!
Don't feel bad Brad. You're a huge Tales fan like myself too. I recently bought Yuri's title package because I wanted the "True Knight" outfit. In order to get that outfit, I would have to do every single secret missions which I totally skipped most of them already. Now if you bought the package to get free level ups, then I won't forgive you lawl~
Brad, you shouldn't feel bad about it at all. There are worst game to waste money on like WoW or one I played Maple story. In that game you can buy stuff to customize your look. YOu need at least 40$ to make a good outfit that gonna only last 3 month. While yours will last as much as you want to play the game. You made a smart choice above thousand of other.
Anime Girls and Cute Outfits, Yes Brad, turn to the Darkside....
