I still don't get why people are so upset about the 2-version thingy. If I'm paying $40 for a game (the black version in this case), what I should be concerned with is whether it has $40 worth of content; it does not matter to me whether there's another white version, or grey version, or whatever color versions. Does one version justifies a $40 purchase? Do two versions justifies somewhere between $52-55 (presumably one path on retail and the other on DLC)? We DO NOT know yet, so why are we so eager to start complaining ahead of time? The Japanese release is in just a few days' time, why not wait until we have a better idea of the amount of content then start judging?
For me personally, I'm buying the black version and I'm perfectly fine with the fact that there exists another "white" version to serve whomever prefers that, as long as my black version has enough content. I'm likely going to spend 40-50 hours for one game, and that is a huge amount of my time so I'm not sure I wanna throw in another 30ish for another path which features similar (or exactly the same?) mechanism. Why is being offered options a bad thing?
The 3rd path DLC on the other hand, is what I'm actually concerned with from the beginning until now. If it is what I think it is, the supposedly best path, like the "Woohoo you know what, you didn't save the world, you screwed it up. You killed all these awesome characters that could have been saved and joined your cause" kind of best path? Then I could be legitimately pissed, but until we know that for sure (I hope I guess wrongly of course), I will refrain from complaining just out of my baseless assumptions.
