DL Lives

I'm at 800 lives total mark (all types included) and got 9 gold presents total. Haven't seen anything but dupe accessories and dupe DL-live costumes so i think you're pretty lucky actually.
And don't forget to add 2 minutes of loading and skipping shit to your actual 2 min of gameplay, so you can do 12 lives per hour max (and every 12th one is an allstar medley with much longer animation sequence).

Mind your word choice. We've every right to lend criticism where it's warranted. As it stands, it's already tedious going through the motions, so what kind of an incentive is longing for something already in the game?

Sorry if i sounded aggressive. It's a result of an accumulation of being annoyed by a lot of stuff like this you see on the internet: people feeling entitled to getting something for free, and in a high quality, and complain about it when it isn't what they dreamed of.
And sorry, i don't really understand what you wanted to say with the last sentence. Just because something is in the game doesn't have to mean you can get it without working for it, otherwise you'd have an event that gives 10 million fans to all girls and drops all costumes at once. I agree, as for now the game feels too grindy if you want the platinum trophy, but i expect some DLC in the future to help with this issue, akin to the EX episodes from OfA. Anyway, i don't see the connection between the grindy gameplay and the complaints about the looks of the costumes/accessories you get from the DL lives. If you don't like how they look, simply don't do the DL lives for them, they are an entirely optional, free extra which nobody expected before the first DL live was announced. THAT's what i'm annoyed about: unexpectedly getting some free new costumes and new accessories for free (especially knowing it's scamco, and even moreso knowing it's imas) and then complain about the developers being lazy because it's just a recolor or because you don't like the looks of the accessories.
Edit: just to be clear again: There are several aspects in this game that warrant complaining about, depending on what you like and how much you care about it, such as the excessive grinding, the dependance on drop luck, the lack in variety of costumes and accessories (although they all only matter if you are a completionist who wants the platinum trophy), but the looks of the extra DL live items is not among them imo.
DeviantProtagonist:
Considering I'm to run a catalog of the entire item library, our circumstances are different. Simply not doing DL Lives isn't an option, lest we run the risk of Namco shelving them.
It's also not so much as the recolor being lazy, but it's reflective of the effort Namco is willing to put in Platinum Stars as a whole. Obviously, this hearkens more to the game being a cash magnet, and as a result it snowballs into a questionable pile of game design. No thanks to P drops, Namco can just keep repping away with repetitive content to roll in revenue and it'll always rub me the wrong way.
No real attention to detail, nowadays.
Roswell:
I wouldn't be complaining if the base set in game offered any semblance of variety, but as it stands, they leave a lot to be desired and so do these DL live costumes. In past games, the only way to get new costumes was paid DLC (which also included recolors), and yet I never felt the way I do now with the PS base set of costumes.
You can be happy with your free mediocre content all you want, this doesn't mean we have to be. I understand not wanting to see negative posts, but we feel this is legitimate critisicm even if your opinion differs. Why should we be complacent with what appears to be a clear downgrade from previous games and Scamco appearing to offer no real solution other than these cheap recolors and giving them more money?
