Making Amatsu paid DLC or any other monster in that regards is not necessarily a bad thing. Obviously it being free would be better but clearly we are getting paid DLC whether we want it or not so why not make monsters that didn't make the cut initially the main product to sell. That said, if monsters are paid DLC exclusives then it is good because they'll keep supporting and adding to the game even after launch, allowing it grow in content. Now, what we have to worry about is how much they'll be asking for in terms of price. A few [insert currency here] for new maps/monsters is great but full on $20--$30 (or the equivalent) for a small bit of added or rather unnecessary content could be deemed as ridiculous in regards to MH. Because there are monsters that are oddly missing that should be present it would be better to have them be the paid DLC and not any bullshit micro-transaction for faster drops or what have you that plague the gaming industry today. I just personally wish CAPCOM makes the right decision in going for this approach now that it is brand new to the series and could affect how things in-game are managed. And also, this way at least we'll get the monsters that we wanted.
