Re: MK2 Klassics for Kitana and Jade Confirmed.
I actually like this message. Why? Well there are two points:
1. By receiving a second classic costume the developers send a signal that everyone character will get their classics costume later. Although not for free. I presume this because NRS said on many occasions that they wanted to support this game with DLC for a very long time, three months aren't a very long time. They won't release MK10 in one year if they want to keep the level of quality therefore there are two years in which this game might and surely will receive DLC. Costumes are the easiest thing to provide. It doesn't take much time and manpower in order to create a skin.
Mark my words: In one or in one and a half year. Every character will have their classics costumes and one new alternate costume (except Mileena, she has a third alternate already). I think even characters which hadn't any classic costumes before will get one. Remember Smoke and Noob got an MK1 palette swap already!!!
And of course NRS will be making money with little effort. Theoretically creating a whole new character takes a lot more time than making a costume. And NEARLY everyone wants classics. Although some wants just new new new and new costumes, they forget that this game also has to serve as a link to the past Mortal Kombat games. I also hope for new costumes, but I think we will get them it depends on the sale of other costumes.
After getting Kitana and Jade only two UMK3 ninjas costumes are missing and then. NRS will do a second classic pack where the other kunoichis and Ninjas will get their palette swaps. If these costumes will sell well, and they will. NRS will be finally concentrating on the other non ninja costumes. By the time all ninjas will have a MK1, MK2 and UMK3 and all kunoichis will have a MK2 and UMK3 costume.
2. This is just a personal reason. I really love the MK2 kunoichi costumes more than the MK3 costumes, although I have to admit that in this game they are looking good. I hope they can redeem the plastic and prolly looking UMK3 ninja costumes. But after seeing what they already did in this game in terms of presentation I am really looking forward to the UMK3 costumes, although I hated them from the very bottom of my heart back than.
I cannot understand the hate from people. Yes I understand that many are sick of ninjas only getting costumes but remember Mortal Kombat had an Asian feeling since the very beginning and the ninjas and later the kunoichis are an integral part of the game. Therefore they deserve their old costumes. Nevertheless the costumes are free and should appeal to a majority, therefore it's obvious why the chose the ninjas and kunoichis but this doesn't mean that the other characters won't get any classical costumes. They just won't get them for free. But that's all. Either way if you have patience then you will see that the other characters will get their costumes in the end. Just wait and see.
And over all things it's a free costume!!! How many companies give away eight costumes for free?
