      It is, afaik all the microtransactions are available in game, most of them are even very very easily available. Capcom has been doing this for years in all their games, even Monster Hunter Rise has the character edit voucher bullshit, but people have finally called them out for it.

        That camp kit comes with the deluxe addition, which they probably are unaware of because they got the game for free. It also comes with one of those edit voucher things as well. I doubt I’ll ever use mine though because they also have an amazing character creator that came out weeks ago that let you meticulously design your character and your pawn. Then when you start the game they are right there as a choice. Something else they probably didn’t know because they had the game so early.

        It’s all made up of drama for clicks, and seems to be working.

          The edit voucher is also available for rift crystals in game. The drama isnt made up I’d say but it is misdirected. Be mad at Capcom not the people playing the game and having fun because the game itself is actually good.

      You can unlock fast travel in game. You can pay to unlock it early.

      It’s basically cheat codes as mtx. Doesnt affect the gameplay.

      All reviewers were informed that there were going to be microtransactions. Only 2 of 25 reviewers even talked about it in the reviews but both of them said the mtx doesnt have an affect on enjoying the game (the mtx are basically just for people who dont want to play the game as intended)

      Cheat codes have long been part of gaming history with. Up up down down…
