Game #1165: Granblue Fantasy Versus Legendary Edition

 Waste of time edition. 

 So, earlier this year I played Granblue Fantasy Versus, and it was pretty darn good. And then I found out that ArkSys would rerelease it as Granblue Fantasy Versus: Legendary Edition, including all the DLC. Just like they did with Dragon Ball Z Fighterz + Season 1 DLC, it's an entirely new SKU, so it's entirely and exclusively in Japanese. 

 Oh, and the DLC comes in a code. So you have to update the game and download the DLC. Absolutely unacceptable. Here's my thoughts on the game:

 I had to create a new Japanese account, and I was getting an undecipherable error when inputting an email address. One hour later, it fixed itself and it allowed me to use the address I wanted to. Fine. After enduring that, I downloaded the DLC and... the DLC characters were still locked. I searched everywhere for help, turns out I had to "restoring the licenses". FINALLY! The DLC characters were playable. So I went to play the game with my main account and... DLC was inaccessible. Even after restoring the licenses. This has never happened to me before. I can play my non-American game releases and their DLC, as long as I downloaded it, on my main account. But not this one. Bollocks to that.

 This rerelease is an absolute waste of time, at least if you can't read a lick of Japanese, and having the characters locked behind a DLC code plus a patch download beats the purpose of this rerelease. Absolute garbage, ArkSys should be ashamed of themselves. But of course, they aren't, they have always pulled off shady garbage like this.
