"Capcom-esque microtransactions post-launch after reviews have come out and everyone has had their hands on the game."

The one thing that isn't mentioned is how these Tekken Coins will be bundled. Take Street Fighter 6's paid costumes: The skins Capcom added back in December cost 300 Fighter Coins, which is around $6 each. Except you can't buy bundles of 300 Fighter Coins. The minimum is 250, meaning you'd have to spend around $10 just to secure one costume. I wouldn't be surprised if Tekken 8 takes a similar approach, meaning that the actual money required to procure cosmetics is higher.
It’s ironic, I much prefer this sort of model with FTP games. There it’s like, I don’t have to pay any money to play the game, the microtransactions aren’t a pay to win mechanic, it’s like, if I feel like I got $40-60 of game out of it I can spend that on some skins. But if I already payed $60-70 just to play the game? Bump that, skins should be built into the base cost.
My Tekken 3 main, Eddie, is locked behind a fucking game pass. I played the demo and it was fin, but there no fucking way I'm paying $70 that's asking for more money to unlock characters.
Wait, it’s not a one-time purchase? You’ve got to keep paying the periodic game pass fee to keep accessing the DLC characters?
Pretty sure its a one-time purchase. You get him with the game pass or with a separate DLC they'll be releasing, but either way you keep the character.
