glancing at them it looks similar to 8s DLCs... all cosmetics or "cheat" items(early powerful items that you replace later, and consumables) and no content except the OST.
it does appear this limitation is only during the launch period though
Please note: Except for returns as stipulated by Steam, upgrades to the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition (and obtaining the applicable launch exclusive bonuses) are not available during the launch deal period. After the launch period ends, upgrades can be made for the price difference.

upside is, buying just the base game feels so much better in this series than others which have story content and such locked behind dlc.
I need to go back and give 9 another attempt at finishing... I hear it gets better.... but it just isn't as enjoyable to me as 8 was(also need to go finish up the earlier games... I started origins and 1 but never finished)

Yeah, but when you got this completion ocd, then again i already had to give that up a bit.
I finished 9 but i never felt it got "better", it definitely felt different then the other ones, i am afraid this will be more like 9.
The same as we never getting the old Final Fantasy games back anymore, 16 started okay, but the massive dumb NPC quests in the middle.

No way would I ever pay this much for 1 game and some dlc - you can get a whole Year of choice for less than this

It's been getting out of hand since someone came up with the notion of releasing partial games and charging for "expansions". I really did enjoy Eiyuden Chronicles because I loved Suikoden games but they have the same thing going on with all the dlc.

I know what you mean, but this isn't the case here, none of dlc-s are worth a penny, just cosmetic stuff mostly.
If you just wanna play the game, the full game and have a complete experience, the base game provides just that.

Ah, so it's one of those completely misguided policies by publishers to have price parity between versions regardless of offering completely different value propositions. They should have just offered different "editions" and adjusted the prices more logically.

If this was a physical copy with all sorts of neat collectable extras then it would be somewhat OK, but absolutely no way in hell would I pay that much for just a game license.

Soundtrack is just a sampler, not the full OST. My main issue is that the ultimate edition includes the attachment pack, which is the remaining cosmetic DLC not included with deluxe. You can just buy the deluxe + attachment pack, but the attachment pack is a bit expensive on its own and you'll be missing the artbook.
At the very least they should've changed the pricing so that it's $100 rather than $130. $20 more than deluxe would've been more understandable. But I don't want to pay $50 more just for the artbook and attachment pack, I don't need the consumable items. Ys IX was far more reasonable in pricing. NISA is just greedy and they realized hardly anyone's gonna buy the ultimate edition if it doesn't include something people will actually want (attachment pack + artbook) rather than consumable items.
EDIT: Another issue with NISA is they do not like extra discounts, so coupons on GMG/Fanatical don't work on them and they offer limited choice discounts on humble. In comparison, I paid $70 for Metaphor's Anniversary Edition to get all of the cosmetic dlc + artbook/soundtrack, but that was after additional discounts. I can't do that with NISA games because they're stingy as hell with launch discounts.

This is a skip for at least a year and a hefty discount. Ys IX was mid at best and also reused areas from DQ XI. It's difficult to justify rewarding phoning it in by running out and buying another game that potentially is more of that kind of same. And the cosmetics are a big no regardless.

There is a site that seemingly sells the ultimate edition for 42 euro (find where you can use fall10 as coupon) but it's against the rules to name it. I was under the assumption it was just the base game but to my surprise it activated everything, and redeemed as a beta testing key.

I would have loved to get this game, and offcourse noone is forcing anyone to buy the extra's, and i already found 9 expensive, but i feel the prices are getting absurd (same as your every day groceries).
It's also one on these things that you seemingly can't buy the DLC later such as the soundtrack.
