I scrolled through the mtx and... there is literally nothing in there that anyone should ever buy. Exception for the character redesign item, but if this is like first game, you can redesign your character between playthroughs.
I feel like there's some kinda argument here between the director and whatever suit wanted mtx. That stuff in the store is literally pointless to buy. RC? People will rent your pawn, that's how you get it. Wakestones? Gold in game.
Only thing I'd consider buying would be the eternal ferrystone, but that defeats the flow of the game, and they aren't selling it.
its the stuff from the deluxe edition. And it isn’t “buy currency whenever” mtx. just the deluxe stuff if you didn’t order deluxe. I got the base game and have already accumulated all this stuff.
I think if people knew that you'd eventually unlock infinite fast travel in end-game anyway, maybe people would be less insane? but realistically the whiniest bitching is coming from people who just want to be mad, so trying to add context won't help.
It's stupid as hell because the game has legitimate issues with performance and some baffling choices, but everyone's upset with Capcom for...doing the same thing they've done for 5 years without any complaint.
Now imagine people would actually play the game and realize that you actually don't want to FT because it is honestly fun to explore.
But that would require them to actually care about the game... lol.
No kidding. I'm now onto the second kingdom, and have acquired like 11 ferrystones. I've used maybe one all game just for pacing reasons. Why would I want to fast travel and miss out on the griffin attacks? Every journey becomes a grand adventure with like several stories of heroic valor, and they're interspersed with little downtimes where you get to have pawn chatter.
