The characters are priced fairly just tbh I was bummed out after I bought them in the Japanese version because well... all thats left to do with them is re-play old content you've already done. =\

That or get way into the online or something. I dunno... that's my main gripe with the DLC characters. Honestly, this is a game that people would benefit coming into late because they could just load up on DLC and have a purpose for all of it. I think the DLC in this game isn't that compelling to keep people playing the game unless you're really intent on leveling up all the girls to 50 for personal satisfaction or something.

*Shrug* All of the pricing is still fine in my books.

Then again, I change all the characters drastically, so I guess costumes/accessories simply mean more to me.

Yes, the "DLC Schedule" (for content that's all essentially readied) is still stupid and should have all been released at once or within two weeks. Luckily, I like the game enough to deal with the wait for a few more weeks and pick up trivial paid content in support.
 
So, I got two questions about the DLC:
Does the SV BGM pack have the complete OST from SV, or just a selection?
And are the missions released this week PS4 exclusive, or do they work on Vita as well? (I remember there being some PS4 exclusive missions, but I'm not sure if that includes DLC.)

Ayame looks fun, looking forward to playing as her.

The Missions released today do have a Vita version. Same price as the PS4 DLC.

I WANT to say that the SV pack basically gives each girl who was in SV their older theme. I don't know about stage music, but I would assume when fighting other characters, their SV theme would play instead of the EV one.

If I could go through a list & hand pick "okay, I want this character's theme to be the SV one, but I want the other girls' themes to be EV" like how for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, you could hand-choose which Capcom characters you wanted to speak in English or Japanese, that would make the music DLC more tempting.
 

Uhh.. Marv EU is saying the inclusion in the EU Mega Bundle is a mistake lol

She should not be included in the Week 2 Bundle and we are looking into the display issue!
They're saying you get to keep them if you buy now, so I guess I'll do that? What a mess

EDIT: But that makes no sense, since the Costume 2 and Acc 2 bundle are then cheaper seperately than the Mega Bundle lol

The tweet they originally replied to said "Ayane", so maybe they meant Ayane isn't meant to be in the bundle rather than Ayame. But wow, this situation is a mess.

The conversation goes on and it shows a pic of Ayame in character select. Their DLC schedule also says Ayame and the missions shouldn't be part of the bundle.

No idea what's going on, but I think Ayame and the missions should be included, otherwise the Mega Bundle is pointless, pricing wise.

EDIT: They just tweeted this as I was typing

Grab the Week 2 Mega Bundle for #SENRANKAGURA #ESTIVALVERSUS! Including Ayame, 11 new missions and much more!

So I guess it was a misunderstanding. Value is decent now, but I don't really like any of the accessories.. :( WIth the BGM instead this would be instantly bought

alright I am ordering this damn game today. Looks like you guys are having a ton of fun with it.

I've put quite a few hours in it and am really liking it. There are improvments that could be made, but its the console Senran game I was waiting fo to jump into the series through and through.

Brief mission lengths and dialogue exchanges also help kept the good times rolling for me! I still haven't gotten the same burneout I typically get from games like Dynasty Warriors (while I like that series okay). Though boobs never hurt.

Woah, according to the Dual Hearts Mission for Katsuragi and Yozakura:
Katsu's family helped Yoza's family out big time and the weapons they both use are actually one set originally.

Can anyone confirm if this is for reals?
 

Zonic

That would honestly make sense. I always wondered if there was ever a character that would be created who would be wearing both sets of weapons.

But now I'm interested in those missions, probably will buy & play it this weekend when I have more free time.

Yeah, from a design point it's pretty obvious. Figured they'd be a set before we got any actual confirmation.

Best little side storyline is with Murukumo and Ikaruga being adopted heiresses of richer branches of their families that have lots of business dealings.

Is that from Shinovi Versus? I still need to play that (which is probably why I didn't know Katsu and Yozie's family connects.) Waiting for that Steam release.

Yeah you find out at first she was poor and lived in the same slum as Yomi then one day she left, her family had a branch that was rich but needed a heiress with skill so like Ikaruga's family they adopted a realitive and that person is the heir, so Ikaruga and Murukamo know each other a bit from company dinners. A great part of the story is how so much interactions are in their families. For example Yumi and Asuka's grandfathers were legends from their time and they competed for Asuka's granny but Kurokage found somebody else.

And Similar to that those two also know Miyabi's grandfather from the other side. That's why I call those 3 the shinobi princesses, with Asuka being very close to that being Hanzo Hattori the sengoku era ninja's descendant.

Forewarning: Not all of the missions are lore-based like that. Most of them are simply silly encounters, much like the Heart Missions.
 
Glad to see some Murasaki love

SK needs more girls like her

I also like how she has the skimpiest swimsuit despite not even liking the sun

hnnngggg, that's awesome.

I kind of hope she has some cutscenes. I just know I can use her to uppercut a dude into a helicopter.
 
seeing this remind me of this



i still don't know the connection between silver and Murasaki , or why he is here.

Why does this picture always come back to me?

But yeah, Murasaki is adorable. I think she became one of my favorites because of this game.

Her hearts mission when she
starts singing
is the cutest thing ever.

Yeah, I thought she would annoy me at first, but I quite like her now having gine through the game/missions.

Shiki also grew on me over the course of the game. I look forward to seeing some origin stories in Shinovi Versus!

I just played her Shinobi Hearts missions and it was the most hilarious and adorable thing ever. Sooooo good.

I didn't really like her slow voice at all when I first knew her in SV.

But learning that she's pretty much a disgusting nerd that stays in her room all day and plays MMOs, that is what got me into her.

"I can't train right now. My guild needs me."

That line is what drew me to her.
 
In general, I think the writing/dialogue is much better than in SV. There have been a ton of great scenes already and I'm just at day 3.

Did Bebeby "talk" in other SK games before this? Maybe I missed/forgot it, but it's hilarious.

The soundtrack is also really good and doesn't get enough credit imo.

I'm pretty sure he didn't, at least not in SV. I didn't play Bon Appetite.
