About a month ago Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny landed on Nintendo Switch, and despite some performance issues we gave it a hearty recommendation in our review. Its early sales, combined with plenty of predecessors, recently tipped the franchise past 5 million sales - not bad, Dood!
It's a full price - and meaty - experience, but there are also various DLC add-ons available now (with a couple still to come). Characters Fuka and Desco are among the options (as you can see in the trailer above), if you want a baseball fanatic and a wannabe end boss in your roster.
As you can see on the Nintendo of America product page there are a lot of add-ons - various characters are $3.99USD each, while some cosmetic options cost a little less. Killia and Usalia are the only characters that haven't landed yet but are expected by mid-August. There's a lot of optional extras, with a Season Pass at $34.99USD for the whole lot.
It certainly all qualifies as optional and is pretty typical practice in the games industry, and to be fair there's also a 'Disgaea 6 Starter Support Set' that's a free download. For eager franchise fans willing to spend more, though, there's obvious appeal in having iconic characters in the newest entry.
Let us know if you've been playing Disgaea 6, and whether you've been tempted by any of the DLC.

I haven't played it yet even though D5C was one of my favorite first-year Switch games. There are just too many games to play, and I'm not keen on some of the decisions they made in 6. I'll probably still buy it further down the road, but definitely not going in for DLC at these prices.
Performance patch and complete set of DLC all on a cart when?
@gcunit Yeppp, genuinely just waiting for a patch then this would be a day one
I cannot see myself ever buying an SRPG where you have to pay for content.
Fuka? The immature side of me giggles …
@gcunit I think the game's performance issues have been overblown completely. Yes, Quality mode doesn't run that well, and yes, Performance mode doesn't look great, but Balanced mode is completely fine, both visually and performance-wise. I never really had any issues on that mode, and I played the game all the way through. The performance is definitely not bad enough that I think anyone should pass up on the game because of it. But that's just my opinion.
I had a lot of fun with this game, and I did end up springing for Valvatorez, Fuka, and Desco because I have a soft spot for Disgaea 4 and its cast. It was cool to see their special attack animations, and though I wish the little scenarios they had with Zed were voiced, I did enjoy them. They were pretty funny.
