I really hope that the DLC teams will have a proper story and ending this time around.

Both teams are good additions but immediate dlc
The leaked list says team samsho is the last one?
- Haohmaru / Nakoruru / Darli Dagger (?)
- Orochi Chris / Yashiro / Shermie (the leak notes they are included, but unsure if they represent the last DLC team)
- Verse (?) (Boss)
- Rugal (boss)
(?) means I'm not sure
PS: MotW and South Town teams are part of the deluxe edition (plus 3 days early access)
New background spotted at Famitsu:
My brother might buy the PS4 version even though he has a PS5 because he didn't test that his PS2 HRAP with USB adapter works with the PS5 version while the betas were active.
The PS4 version will have a free PS5 upgrade. He should be fine.

Who doesn't like Shermie? Takes all types, I guess.

What the hell does any of this even mean? Modern gaming is so fucking convoluted I swear. It's all so padded and predictable.
I remember when you plugged the cart into the system and just got on with it. The way things are done now, disgusting

Would adding you to the list of VIP players who get early access shut you up?

As long as people keep paying again and again, for years, they will keep the DLC model.
Look at SFV... 6 years. KOF XV will probably try for at least 3 years of milking.

That's certainly how it feels for gamers like me who have been around a long time, and generally play new games only casually. But the model seems to work for serious fighting game fans these days. Unfortunately, I don't see it going away any time soon.

I'll never understand people who bitch and moan about paying for DLC characters. Sure, cosmetics and unlockables used to be free, built-in additions to games and that sucks but is getting 6 characters for $30 REALLY that different from getting a "sequel" that has 6 new characters and some mild tweaks that you were asked to pay full price for a year later like back in the day? That would've been $200+ for a KoF game.
Hell, Street Fighter V you didn't even have to pay for the characters if you actually played the game.

Leaked gameplay videos on this channel.
All non-spoiler training mode footage.
Confirms that the default 39 character roster is accurate, and that if there's any built-in secret characters like the boss(es), they'll need to be unlocked through gameplay.

If u actually played SFV ull know that u have to spend more hours then it's worth to get all the extra characters without paying.
Capcom really conned people (unsurprisingly)
As for dlc, it depends on the game and if there is demand for it. There are a couple of games that I would still be playing if they added more (at a reasonable price)

I played SF5 for 4 years and never bought a single character. For people who actually play fighting games, it wasn't particularly difficult. I ended up buying the last season pass but that was largely because I had lost interest and wasn't playing online anymore.
I totally understand why someone who plays fighting games more casually wouldn't want to invest that kind of time but for those of us who were going to play the game for hundreds of hours anyway, not having to pay for any characters was a nice added bonus. If you weren't a serious player, you pay your $25-$30 a year... which, as previously, is less than buying a new game every year like in the old days.

Yeah, this is a point. Is it more expensive to buy the DLC characters than it was to buy SF3 and then Double Impact and then Third Strike? Nope.
It is kind of different if they do have all the characters ready to go at launch but then purposely don't include some of them, though. That's a pretty cynical move that I understand people having a problem with.

I was going to wait a while to buy, let the price drop a bit, but I went ahead and ordered today. I’m just a casual player and it may fight with Horizon FW for time in the console (they release a day apart), but I wanted to show SNK some support. I bought XIV used, long after release. It was certainly not my favorite KoF but if I read correctly that Sylvie will be missing from XV, it’s already got to be better. I’ll see you suckas online! (I‘ll be the one getting my ass kicked by you.)
As a side note, has anyone looked over the trophy list yet?

One aspect I pretty much prefer in the current games over having micro sequels (SF3, Real Bout .... etc) is retaining all backgrounds and music while cumulatively adding content and making tweaks to the gameplay.
3rd Strike and CVS2 are two examples that could have greatly benefited from keeping the backrounds / aesthetics of their predessors IMO.

Dude, the game isn't even out yet and they're already selling you extra content. Doesn't it seem a little exploitative? I have a problem with the lack of taste here on display, money isn't really an issue, we used to pay 200 dollars for homecarts when those came out new and I was all for it.
