[quote name='SirChadlyOC']I would recommend the gold and EXP one (The Golden Pack) to every player. Having access to unlimited gold (Golden Gaffe) allows you to play the game forever without running out of weapons (which was a serious issue in FE: Sacred Stones on GBA). The EXPonential Growth is great for when you get new, underleveled characters, or when you're trying to intentionally use characters with bad stats.
All the other packs are completely optional and probably not worth the money (unless you're a die-hard like me). Two of them allow extra classes, Dread Fighter and Bride. The rewards for finishing the other harder ones allow you to over-develop characters, which is required to beat the challenge DLC packs (so it's kind of a spiraling situation).
Yes. That's when you're supposed to play most of the DLC because they require a pretty solid team.[/QUOTE]
I gotta say I couldn't disagree more. The DLC in this game is worse than anything CoD ever pulled. If these maps were $1 apiece and $2 for a bundle, well, I still would say it's overpriced but I'd be a lot more forgiving about it. It's the laziest, most overpriced example of DLC I've ever seen, and I am continuously astounded about how "fans" badmouth Capcom for charging for skins, or Bethesda's horse armor, or CoD map packs, yet they have no problem paying $3 for maps that take less than 15 minutes to beat if you take your time and play conservatively. Just because you can play the same content again and again to get more gold or exp (which shouldn't just be resticted to DLC anyways) is no reason to justify paying so much for so very, very little.
Seriously, it probably takes one guy all of one day to make each of these levels, assuming he's a newbie and completely incompetent. Now also consider that this DLC was completed before the game ever went gold in America (yes, even the translations, they were done side by side with the main game, and there was even day 1 DLC in Japan). Nintendo isn't spending oodles of money on this DLC, why is it that 3 maps cost as much as a new DLC fighter or the Scorchers or even maps on 3D shooters?
Oh, and god forbid you drop/lose that 3DS, cause you'll never get the content you paid so much money for back if you do.
