			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been following Tales of Vesperia a bit more recently, and this most recent news is just funny beyond explanation. Apparently Vesperia&#8217;s Japanese DLC (downloadable content) will actually allow players to power up without playing the game. That&#8217;s right, you can trade cold hard cash (aka Microsoft Points) for in-game rewards. <span id="more-328"></span>I don&#8217;t even know what to think. This is either the lamest thing ever or capitalism at its very finest (or maybe both). Here is a list of what I have seen in the <a href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/dqnplus/archives/1168109.html" target="_blank">screenshots on this Japanese site</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Level Up +10 300 Points</li>
<li>Level Up +5 200 Points</li>
<li>Character Skill Sets 80 Points <strong>Each</strong></li>
<li>300,000 Gald 300 Points</li>
<li>Synthesis Materia Set Lv 1 100 Points</li>
<li>Gummi Set 100 Points</li>
<li>Camp Set 100 Points</li>
<li>HP Recovery Recipe Cooking Set 100 Points</li>
<li>Parameter Up Recipe Cooking Set 100 Points</li>
</ul>
<p>This could usher in a new era of gaming &#8211; laziness beyond description. However, since gamers don&#8217;t tend to be the wealthiest individuals in the world, I could certainly imagine this having mixed success. Plus I like to think that most people would probably want to play the game that they&#8217;ve bought, instead of paying to have it played for them&#8230; In the end, it&#8217;s up to individual users whether they take advantage of the DLC. I won&#8217;t be, at least as long as I can still have everything in the game without it. I&#8217;m fine with DLC, my issue is when things that should have been in the game from the start are sold to me later. So far, I don&#8217;t feel like that&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening here, so we shall see.</p>
<p>EDIT: It should probably be mentioned that nothing like this has been announced for the NA/EU versions YET. However, given the emphasis on international releases for Vesperia, I expect that we&#8217;ll see similar DLC for the international versions at some point.</p>
