It is really creepy seeing Lidia staring at me on the Tekken 8 menu screen. Namco needs to include a way to swap out the character. First Eddy, now Lidia. Feels too: in your face. Literally.
Really cool to see Lili's iconic Tekken 6 default in Tekken 8, though it feels weird having to pay for it since it was a free alt in Tekken 7. Also got a chuckle out of the ninja costumes added to the Tekken Shop. Can recreate a bootleg Kasumi or Hayabusa now haha!
Food for Thought: Fighting games should focus more on Online Dojo's then just sweaty matches pretty much all the time. Need to find a way to encourage more of a cooperative experience.
Tekken 8's Microtransactions: Season passes, Tekken Shop & Battle passes; set a dangerous precedent for fighting games going forward, especially AAA FG's. I shudder to think what Namco may do to whore out a potential SoulCalibur VII.
