An expansion to the party system would be cool, like adding in team-up attacks and stuff depending on who you have with you.

I'm probably alone on saying this but I wish that some of the attacks were a bit flashier as well. Sort of like the Limits in Kingdom Hearts II. I know that there wouldn't be a point in adding that other than rule of cool but I just really love pulling off huge, fancy attacks in games.

Yes to DLC.

Yes and no to online, online would be great if it were an option, like say you have the option to play by yourself.. with your friends locally.. or play with your friends online and lose all your progress since the last time you saved.

Definite yes to PVP.

I'm not sure about the last part.

On-Catrdige-DLC is a play on words to On-Disk-DLC. It refers to content that was already on the cartridge when you bought it, but you have to pay extra to get access to it. It is content that was completed prior to the game going Gold(marketed product). But was held back to ensure the publisher gets more money, and forces people who buy the game used to pay a little more. It has nothing to do with content that was created after production to add to the initial game.

Always Online is a term used for games that require you to log in and maintain a constant internet connection in order to play them. And should you suddenly lose internet connection you can't play any further.

Pay to Win is a term for games that forces you to buy DLC to get an ending or "true ending" so the company ensures you don't sell your copy and make a few more dollars off of you in the process for content that is supposed to be part of the default package.

All of these are techniques perpetrated by some publishers to exercise control and get more profits under the guise that it prevents piracy and helps them recoup loses from the used market and keep people from selling their copies on the used game market. Despite the fact that pirates really aren't affected by their "anti-piracy"al measure and the used games market actuly helps developers and publishers more in the long run than any "damage" caused by them.

In the end it's really just a control scheme. Fortunately I haven't seen any of this kind of behavior of publishers from either Marvelous or Natsume, and given that most of these are really isolated to the big publishers like EA,Activision,Ubisoft,ect., it doesn't look like either will anytime soon.

Uh, I don't know if you guys know Zhang very well, but he was very obviously being very sarcastic...

I got the sarcasm in Zhang's post.
My response was to Scytharius misunderstanding of some of the things Zhang was referring to.

I think Rope's post was directed at the other people responding to his post, not you in particular.

Then again, if that's what people want...

Yup, this. ^ I wasn't talking to you~

So after playing more of the game recently, I'm going to say again that I really, really want an overhaul of the subevent system. It's absolutely painful to trigger marriage subs...I have a feeling come release there's going to be a lot of confused people over it. :/
