So, including to the fact that there is only 6 characters as they said earlier, there is:
- Literally zero OG characters of DOA, with the only most recent is being Honoka who was introduced in 5:LR
- Half of the roster are VV OC's, so people who not play the gacha are outside the loop
- Presumably no plans for DLC, so no real plans to add long-time fan favorites either

And of course, that's not including the part that they're not even trying to sell the game outside of Japan and SEA.

So... to who actually the heck you even really try to sell it, Koei? Cause that's probably the biggest mismanagement of IP that continues for a while.

People who play Venus Vacation. People who like to play date sims. I question Koei a lot regarding DoA, but this sounds like the least surprising move they could make with the series. Hell, all the other volleyball games had a date-sim component to it.

As far as DLC, I'm sure they are happy to offer you a couple of costume packs for $30 apiece.

Tecmo Koei selling DLC for a game for substantially less than the 60 dollars that DoA Costume passes normally retail for?

Inconceivable.
