Ok for everyone still complaining that all of this content should have been in the game, here is the breakdown: Packs 1 and 2 are for grinding gold, experience and items; they are designed to help players who are either stuck or who don't want to spend time grinding the conventional/in-game way. Pack 1 is for low-leveled characters and Pack 2 is for higher-leveled characters. Definitely optional and not necessary to enjoy the game.
Pack 3 lets you promote units at the max level of their highest class to something even higher. While this might seem like it was cut out from the game, keep in mind that the standard Fire Emblem model has two tiers for each class (a unit can get promoted to a better class once). Every base class except in this game except villager has at least two tiers, and four classes have three. What I'm trying to say is that an extra tier is cool (seriously, some of them look awesome), but it feels like overkill and definitely not necessary to enjoy the game.
Pack 4 is story DLC that takes place before the start of the story proper. I don't know enough about the story, but my guess is that this will be like the Owain, Inigo and Severa DLC from Fates, something that enhances the story but is not necessary to enjoy it.
Honestly, the only piece of DLC that looks interesting to me is pack 4 since I'm a sucker for extra story. Normally, I'd consider getting the money and experience pack, but grinding in this game seems like it will be pretty accessible.
It looks like Atlus is giving this the Devil Survivor treatment. A new story like they did in those two games is great, but what's more interesting to me are the updated character designs and a new character who I assume is exclusive to the new story.
So I've been fine with most of the localization changes, but this one kind of bugs me. On the one hand I'm glad they're listening to player feedback. However, this is going from "We don't want to offend anyone" to "We don't want to make anyone feel bad." Every choice has consequences and not every choice has an easy or correct answer. In short, I'd rather feel something than nothing at all.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
I hope this is just the start of Atlus games on the Switch. In my opinion, they were the unsung heroes of both the DS and 3DS. So many quality JRPG's.

As for Pack 5, who knows? This is all just my take on it. Maybe the DLC really is necessary to enjoy the game, but as for me, I'll be getting Pack 4 and that's probably it.
Oh and here's my reference for the DLC: https://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-echoes-shadows-valentia/miscellaneous/downloadable-content-japan/maps/#s1-1

Holy crap, I would never expect a Yowamushi Pedal outfit. That is awesome!
