Dependent? Probably not. They said you can pay KI gold to speed up the process, but the mode is like an indefinite quest mode where you can unlock / craft items.
The greed is out of control, so basically ki gold is useless if you have all seasom ultras, cant even buy shago this is a joke of a currency
Do you honestly think they would give you tons of KI gold that canāt buy anything because you already got it all with ultra? Calm down, breath deep, and give this some thought. They will be far more you can spend KI gold on later this season. They have confirmed as much.
Except most people donāt want Jago or the KI MIcrotransction money, so its paying extra for something that isnāt needed.
Yeah, they did, it will be used to make things faster in shadow lords mode, so they added another use to people who want to play the game the way games are meant to be played and not paying for a shortcut.
I get it. Lol! At the time when I got Shago I didnāt need XBL, but yeah, I hear you. That doesnāt change the theme of his release though. Though Shago has been the focus of each bundle he is released in, you never buy him directly, as technically each time you are paying for something else just to get him.
Which was fine when he wasnāt an actual character, but now he is, and its a bit ridiculous, and this is coming from someone who has him. I was lucky enough to get him for free from someone on gamefaqs.
IDK. They want him to be super special, premium content, and that is how they are treating him. Fine with me. They way they are positioning him, he can be used to drive more community fund type things, or what ever else they choose to do with him.

Its stupid to lock a character behind special conditions if you ask me. He was special for a good 2 years, just let people buy him normally now.
Heās not a ānormalā character though. Heās an add on that was created through the community fund. Heās a special character. Omen is āspecialā to, as he is a bonus character. You canāt normally buy him can you? You MUST by a character pack to get him, right?
I still feel because of his exclusivity that he should be banned from tournies. I have him so its meh, but I feel exclusivity should end at some point.
Yeah, and its stupid for omen too. Just because they did 2 exclusive characters doesnāt make it right. I have them both, and its still ridiculous
It isnāt wrong though. Honestly I feel awkward defending MS here, but the bottom line is that they are building incentives into these characters.
It is very wrong, which is why you donāt see any other fighting game trying something like it. IF they are going to make them exclusive, then people need to at least have the option to ban them from being played. Sort of like how Street Fighter 2 on 360 you could ban Akuma
āWrongā and ārightā are objective terms. It isnāt wrong or right for MS to make a character rare or exclusive, regardless if you agree or not. That is just a decision that they made. What other FGs do, or donāt do, really donāt apply here.
And people do have the option to ban him in tournament, thing isā¦people, the community, hasnāt. The community chose to make him a legal tournament character, not MS.
I think its wrong to lock a character behind a overpriced paywall, thats my opinion. I am not just talking tourneys, I am talking standard online play.

Yeah, it really does.
I meanā¦I agreeā¦I guess, but everyone who wanted him, or who wants him, got him / can get him. Heās available now! So really what is the excuse not to get him other than āI donāt wanna pay for him.ā Shago isnāt a character that you can only get in āselectā / random downloads or something. Heās available to everyone who wants him, just not all the time.
That is your opinion, and honestly itās not like I disagree with you.
I think it is a hard pill to swallow that I bought S1 ($40) and an XBL card because I wanted a Shago skin ($50) on top of buying an X1 when KI was first launched, then again paid another $40 for S2 a year laterā¦and now have to spend another $40 for S3 (thatās $170 not including the X1 and other years of XBL). Meanwhile, new players today can spend $50/$60 + $10 to get everything up to this pointā¦saving at least $100. Hell, PC players donāt even have to pay for Live.
But yaā know? That is life. You have to pay to play. Suxā¦but it is what it is.
Shadow Jago is 10 dollars, thats overpriced for 1 character, yes its my opinion,. but when all the other fighters are half that, its not a hard opinion to have.
