This is all much to do about nothing. It's all stuff you get in the deluxe addition and right underneath says - "Items in this set can also be purchased separately. Please be aware of duplicate purchases." This sounds like people trying to find a problem where none exists.
The Deluxe Edition includes the base game and the add-on "A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack".
A Boon for Adventurers - New Journey Pack:
You don't have a problem with the game having purchasable fast travel and locking a character editor behind the pay wall?
It isn't locked behind a paywall, it costs 500 RC which you can get by literally not playing the game and having your pawn get hired by somebody. You get a fuckton of it just by playing. I'm mad because of how not only is the mtx clearly done by higher ups rather than the devs but they're utterly useless and only give people false impressions about the game, which was a passion project by the director.
Can your pawn get hired if you play this single player game offline? You don't think that maybe the fact that they were going to sell rift crystals for real life money had any impact on how they balanced in game prices?
It's the easiest way to get it but you can collect a lot of it simply through playing the game as well, you earn rift crystals after every fight and it starts to really pile up as you level considering the only thing it's spent on is remaking your character and hiring pawns (in the first game at least, there may be more uses in the second)
I wish more people understood this. Everything they are complaining about can literally be bought in game with Rift Crystals. I'm already at 2000 RC just by playing the game and my pawn has only been hired once.
