Microtransactions in RPGs have become a common occurrence these days, with many games giving you the opportunity to spend money on special weapons and items. In Tales of Zestiria’s case, however, Namco Bandai has opted to give you the option to straight up buy levels, experience, HP and more. According to the publisher, these are entirely optional stat boosters that you can otherwise gain during your natural progression through the game.
The paid DLC, dubbed the ‘Adventure items pack‘, will get you everything needed in order to survive in Sorey’s adventure for a price of $19.99. The full list of stat boosters and items can be seen below.
- Double Experience
- Double Gald
- Double Grade
- Double Normin
- Double Herbs of Goodness
- Item Expansion
- Katz Trio
- Level Up +5
- Level Up +10
- Max HP +1000
- Red Bean Pancakes
- Red Herbs of Happiness
- Rice Crackers
- Skewered Rice Dumplings
- Speed Arte Mastering
- Strawberry Rice Cakes
- Super Star Trier
- Sweet Bean Jellys
This wouldn’t be the first time a game in Bandai Namco’s Tales series has offered purchasable stat boosters, though. Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360 also had similar stat enhancing DLC, where players were given the chance to exchange their Microsoft points (at the time) for level boosts, gold, as well as skills.
Tales of Zestiria is now available for the PS4, PS3, and PC in North America, and has been available in Europe since October 15. Share your thoughts on the game’s optional microtransactions in the comments below.
