I saw a preview that a costume was worth 2 tickets, so i’m not sure about that. Maybe €10 for 6 tickets?
Team NINJA Social Media Updates for DOA6
- Thread starter deathofaninja
- Start date
If it's 1$/€ per ticket and a costume costs 2 tickets then that's fine. Nothing really changed, except it takes an additional step to buy a costume, but whatever. But I can't shake the feeling they want to make us pay more like that, that there is some downside to this we don't realize yet. It's a sad state when I don't trust a developer/game company at all anymore.
@Chapstick just made a good point on Discord. If these costumes won't be bought over the PS Store, will they not be listed as bought there? Will the certificate of us owning those costumes be handled by KT servers or tied to our game save files? If it's save files, what if I lose that for some reason?

I literally do not understand this. On pretty much any side. Are we supposed to believe that only Sony NA and Sony EU don't want individual costumes for sale? It's not the costumes themselves because they clearly allow the bundles on the store.
And if it's just that Sony NA/EU doesn't want to clog up their store front with 8500 costumes like in DOA5, why is Sony Asia/Japan still okay with that? Then if it's that they didn't want the bad press about clogging up the stores, why is everything fine on Xbox and Steam?
And why was the ultimate solution not just to delist the pages on the main store front but have individual purchases be accessible via in-game menu a la Street Fighter V?
I guess we'll see how this all is implemented in the end, but I definitely agree that we should all be skeptical on what TN/KT is doing with this. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

We wouldn’t have to be skeptical if they just released a statement/video/whatever explaining what the tickets actually ARE. Ever since the announcement we’ve heard nothing from TN or KT about them, so I’m not surprised at this mass confusion and frustration. This better not be a ripoff.

Sony NA/EU/JP actually act as separate entities of the same company. So it wouldn't be that far fetched to believe this is purely an issue with different branches of Sony. This is actually one of the reasons why Sega had so many problems with its consoles back in the day.

Orrrr.... you take free pictures from the web and use them via the ps app :^) This money feeding has to end or Koei will never stop
Well tbf that only works for close friends iirc and I'm not accepting close friends anymore for a good while since I have trust issues xD TN should make a contest or something to use screenshots as avatars, they could even hire me since I take bomb ass pics. I know the best poses and lighting for each character like the back of my handOrrrr.... you take free pictures from the web and use them via the ps app :^) This money feeding has to end or Koei will never stop

Even if this is the case, NA and EU allowed the items for Mai and Kula to be sold individually. Why would they be okay in that instance, but not for any of the other costumes?
I'm starting to think that with the excuse of making individual costume purchases available on PS4 (which is however no problem in other regions, in plenty other games and even in the case of Mai and Kula DLC) they are implementing a new shop system that relocates business from the PS Store to their own game store and licenses for bought DLC from PSN to their own servers or however they plan to manage that.

We're in the realm of pure speculation here, but the PS store may start to develop the same problems the Steam store has since ages. They've split the release overview into games and DLC already, probably to counter the negative visibility impact the increased product output has. They may experience that exposure time of products becomes an issue nowadays, so maybe they have requirements of minimum average sales for a DLC to be listed, and the new Kula/Mai stuff got in only because it qualified as an expansion or because sales expectancies were higher here?! I know from my own experience I hate scrolling through endless listings of DLCs for the same stupid product I don't care for and I don't own. I feel the current store is already totally cluttered up. They need a redesign badly, but as long as Sony sticks to it, the negative effects will be combatted with listing regulations?! And since DOA6 ist not that much of a blockbuster...

I have the feeling this ticket system will allow them to vary the pricing much easier. Iirc the pricing for DOAX3 costumes varied depending on how revealing a costume was. How about the same for DOA6? What if they want additional pressure on the customer? Introduce weekly sales and special offers - all such marketing and pricing instruments are much easier to accomplish if they do not need the Sony shop as an annoyed intermediate but can do it directly through their own system.

Probably because they are licensed 3rd party dlc.

Yet they managed to miraculously comeback. I’m pretty sure that, if this ever happened to a company like KT, they won’t be that lucky. Bad business practices means they don’t have any fucking idea what they are doing, I can’t see them managing to do what SNK did lol.
I think the ps store has to update as well. I doubt this is a doa thing.
Well... it’s because it’s a console based costume that you only could get by buying the digital deluxe edition. It’s not a regular dlc costume like the rest.
