In a March 6 Redditthreadon the Dragon Ball FighterZ community, many fans have expressed their apprehension about possible paywalled DLC being present in Budokai Tenkaichi 4, with one user stating:
“Kinda worried ngl. With how fighting games are now and what type of audience there is, this can turn out to be a flop. I wouldn’t bother picking the game up at all if it has DLC characters that you need to buy.”
Other users have echoed this sentiment, with one simply predicting that the game “will have 300 characters…locked behind DLC.”
Another user said, “if we were in 2012 I would be excited for this game but nowadays with the state of the industry, I expect few characters to be vanilla version, most from Super, and then a couple of DLC characters or even season passes.”
One of the most celebrated parts of the original Budokai Tenkaichi trilogy was the player’s ability to control so many fighters from the Dragon Ball universe, from the strongest Saiyans to beloved side characters, thanks to the game’s massive character rosters.
