DLC Pack #3 – Lost Altars Pack (May 25, $14.99, 10 pieces of content): The mysterious dungeons included in this pack hold the power to upgrade characters to exclusive classes that don’t appear in the main game. DLC Pack #4 – Rise of the Deliverance Pack (June 1, $12.99, four pieces of content): Discover the previously untold history of Valentia in this Prologue pack. Complete with new story content and additional voice acting that details the rise of the Deliverance in Zofia, this collection of challenging maps includes new support conversations between selected heroes, as well as the ability to take command of a character players won’t be able to control in the main game. DLC Pack #5 ($5.99, two pieces of content): More information about this final DLC pack will be revealed in the future. All of these packs, as well as the individual components included in each pack, can be purchased separately, giving players the flexibility to buy as many or as few as they want. While Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia features all this great paid DLC, free downloadable content will also be released for the game after launch for a limited time, starting on May 19. The first free content is a special gift from Goddess Mila and can be obtained when playing the game. For more details about the game’s DLC, visit http://fireemblemechoes.nintendo.com/dlc.

Korath88 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Being the type of idiot that buys literally all the DLC, the over classes being available just 6 days after release kinda excites me. The price doesn't really bother me that much, and I personally feel that this game deserves my money more than the other 2 3ds titles.

property of nuvelle Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I'll try my best to get all the DLC, but it amazes me that all of it is worth more than the actual game. Also, I don't remember much about all the DLC, but is there a chance that the fifth will be the Cipher crossover DLC?

EricaofRenais Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Man that's a bit pricey, but the season pass is cheaper then buying the packs one at a time. Looks like I will have to save up a bit and just get the pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European announcement straight-up calls the fifth pack the Cipher Companion Pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 When they said they earned money from Fire Emblem, it looks like they really meant it. However, this feels...wrong. It's very expensive, the content too shallow and insufficient with that price tag, and I'm not even sure what I would use the DLC for if there are no challenge maps. No, I think I'll use those 45 dollars on another game instead...or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Video briefing of DLC, including some battle scenes with over-classes. Boop. Edited May 3, 2017 by Azz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm just gonna buy the Deliverence Prolouges+The Cipher DLC+maybe Akm and Celica's Over-Classes. I don't care about the rest (though the Over-Classes look cool) The Season Pass is expensive but it isn't being shoved down our throats, thankfully. Wait, it says the Over-Class DLC are dungeons. Well, it makes the price more justifiable then (as in, the price for the Over-Classes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvin Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Are the over-Classes worth it? It doesn't seem to give extra access to new weapons so it's more like a costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on you, really. They're probably OP and will likely help a lot in the post-game chapter (which is beatable without the DLC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troykv Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Eh... I mean, I'm okay with DLC... But $45 Dollars with already the price reduced for the Season Pass? It sounds so wrong to me for a game that already has a $40 dollars value. And it's like they're complete new original campaigns, they're are mostly grinding and additional back-story... and some franchises already make complete campaigns with only half~ (or even less if the campaign isn't too long) of the original price.

Other than that everything else is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDtheBA Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The most expensive one is the dlc class one, which is has 10 maps. I can understand why the rise of the deliverece pack is kinda pricy, since it is fully voiced and they need to compensationfor the actors. The first two are give or take. So for the third and fourth pack, that's $29 bucks for 14 maps. I'll wait for the fifth one to be announced to see if it's worth the purchase.

MrPerson0 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) One thing I find interesting is the overclasses are (apparently) not in the game's data. I guess this situation will be the same as Awakening where if you take a cart with overclass units to a 3DS without the proper DLC, they will appear as "Outrealm Units" or something.

Locke087 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) If I buy any DLC at all and I haven't bought any DLC for the past two FE's (unless you count the other paths in Fates which I don't really) it just be pack 4 which sounds like actual substantial content. Definitely not the season pass since their is only one pack I'm actually interested in. Through with the large amount of games I am interested in this year there is a high likelihood I'll be skipping out on this DLC. Actually even considered that I'm mildly interested in this pack, I think it is far too expensive for what is it. Reminder that the Witcher 3 blood and wine expansion that is 30 hours of gameplay usually rolls around $25-30 (I think it's 25 but I don't remember the exact number). I will definitely be looking before buying especially if past FE DLC is anything to go by which has been very shallow every time (with the exception of the Paths of Fates which don't really count). Edit: After doing some research it turns out that pack three is just a couple rooms with new classes not 10 new dungeons so yeah I'm not interested in that then. Only Pack 4 mildly interests me.

That's interesting I guess it would be fully tied to the purchase map of that class which makes sense since its not in the data to read if you don't have it elsewhere.

Iridium Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I don't think the price is inherently any better or worse than the previous two games but seeing it all directly at $45 is a pretty big turn-off. Could almost buy two of my friends the 3rd for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Yikes, this comes close to how much money you spend total on Fates. And that's a lot of content to spread out over two weeks. How much of this game's development was spent on DLC content to have it ready this soon? It'll be enough of an ordeal to finish the base game with finals around the corner. They didn't give us much information with regard to the free DLC. Wait, did Mila give me the boo? She's giving me the boo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
