well, either way, glad to see the game getting love even after all this time,
Between this and Devil's Third it's clear as day old Team Ninja REALLY wanted to make a hybrid hack n' slash third person shooter at some point, I would kill to see a 360 era version of that game with a full Team...
The fact that Wanted: Dead, that janky af action game released by ex-Ninja Gaiden devs, is to this day getting updates, fixes, and combat overhauls is both baffling and awesome, most devs by now would of moved on from their budget AA game that didn't sell too well, but not Soleil lol
When you think about it, Team Ninja was just being ahead of the curve when it comes to terrible monetization with that whole hair color change fiasco, it looked awful at the time but now that all the big boy fighting games are practicing awful monetization tactics suddenly it doesn't look as bad
Ironic, I just bought DS2, and not that wussy Schoolar of the First Sin Edition, im talking gankfest around every corner, terrible lighting, fuck the shrine of armana, vanilla DS2

ah yes, this Stellar Blade "controversy" once again has a bunch of maidenless men arguing over how to properly represent a woman in a videogame, just throw the whole case out :/
oh dang, i completely forgot about Tekken Revolution, don't wanna go back to THAT kind of monetization
although thinking about TR it was more P2P than F2P due it's ticket system, when I think of a F2P Tekken I'm thinking of something more akin to DOA5 Core Fighters, unlimited play with a...
welcome to current gen fighting games bud, gotta make up for those massive development costs somehow
but I agree, seeing these F2P tactics in a game that already cost 10$ more than the average game is not cool, if they're gonna nickle and dime players with dailies, weeklies, and rotating...
and in case you're curious here's the book where this supposed info comes from

hell I might buy a copy just to verify this information with my own eyes
So according to Wikipedia, Kasumi's character was originally designed to be a guy; sadly the only reference for this statement is a 2002 Japanese artbook so it's hard to verify this info, but could you imagine DOA if it was lead by a guy from the start? hard to envision but I wouldn't oppose it
