Ultimate Weapons Bundle DLC 1.99$ ? WTF ?

[MaeZero]

Just look at this Bundle https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/addons/ultimate-weapon-pack/cid=UP0031-CUSA03133_00-DLCPACK000000012

The last time i saw it i remember that the price is 14,99$ or 19,99$ and now it's price even lower than other dlc include in it ?

Dont question the benevolence of the Gaming Gods. Buy it and be happy before someone at Sony notices that the intern made a mistake in that price.

Yo everyone should get it now, before it goes back up to $20.

Thank You, Picked it up even though I don't have the game. 1.99....could be a future price anyways. Motivating to anyone looking to pick up Megadimension VII.

Got this game when it was on sale a few months ago and this might make me more motivated to beat and plat it

[MaeZero]

Taking advantage of this now .. Thank you for this o/

[Lordguwa]

i bought the DLC at that time, it made the game tons easier to finish quicker.

That's still $1.99 too much.

[Satoshi Ookami]

Guess they want to earn at least something

[Masamune]

That does seem pretty good (although that just shows you the other DLC packs are over-priced). I'd grab it if I hadn't already plated the game myself.

I guess they reduced the price to match the price of the DLC on Steam (although there it costs $5).

The price in the european PSN is 5 EUR btw. Seems like it was reduced, too. And that price matches the Steam-price.

So this is just for the US I take it? The Ultimate Weapon Pack is £3.99 on my store.

Thanks for mentioning this! I just finished getting it. Quick question though, how much of a difference does these ultimate weapons do?

Not much. The game is perfectly doable without them.

The Ultimate weapons are great in the beginning, but they become less useful as you progress as while nothing exceeds their strength, the weapons you should have at farther points of the game get closer and closer to the STR stat of the Ultimate weapons, and unlike the PS3 games where there was still enough difference to leave them at least worth having in the end, they end up not doing much in the late game here.

If you REALLY wanna break the game, get the Bloodthirsty Rosary from Armor Pack A and preferably Umio as well. While it drops your defense to 0, you become so terribly overpowered that once you get to the second arc, it barely even matters, not to mention that by then, you'll be able to take a couple of hits without dying even with your nonexistant defense on account of your HP value.

If you get Umio, not only will he act as an extra party member at all times to make things even easier during the several parts of the game where you have a small party, but in the G arc, he gets transferred between the substories. This ends up being a really useful way to transfer funds in NG+ by just buying a bunch of equipment for him in the first arc and then selling it in the Noire, Blanc, and Vert substories for oodles of money to get around the issue of Z Arc money only transferring to Neptune's sub-story.

Wow, a 90% discount . Seems like a good deal to me.

Thanks for this! Just bought the armor pack to get the rosary. Since this will be the first JRPG I've ever played, I want to go in making it as easy as possible. I don't know when I will get around to playing it but it's always nice to have these in my back pocket when the time comes. Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply. I'll take any slight advantage I can get.

If it's your first JRPG, I don't think making the game as easy as possible is the best way to enjoy it. I mean you essentially remove the need to learn any of mechanics and strategies when you can defeat anything by spamming attack. There's no reason to grind, or upgrade equipment, learn new skills, etc. You pretty much just take out what's fun about JRPGs.

 

But hey, who am I to tell you how to enjoy your game? Just don't be surprised if you find it boring.

I see your point. The Rosary and ultimate weapons will be mostly there to act as 'safeguards' in case I reach any part that I am finding way too hard. Since it will more than likely be the first JRPG I will be trying, I do want to fully see what the genre has to offer and see if I may be interested in these types of games in the future. But at the same time I do want something there just in case I end up being pretty terrible at the game. It's a little hard knowing how I will manage with the game considering the fact I've never played a game remotely like it. So I'm just playing it safe and having a few 'advantages' in my inventory in case a problem arises.

It's been 24+ hours and the price hasn't changed. Curious if it's a permanent price change or just nobody's noticed..
