Dragon ball Fighter Z will have loot boxes... and they're supposedly harmless. The only way to purchase the loot boxes is to PLAY THE GAME, and there's two currencies: Zeni and Premium Mr. Satan Coins. Both of which only cost... PLAYING THE GAME. You save up Zeni, buy loot boxes, any duplicate items can be nixed in favor of Satan coins. Earn ten Satan coins and you can trade them in for a non-duplicate items... Kinda like the "scrap metal" system in TF2. Get weapons from the timed weapon drops and turn the dupes into scrap metals. Combine 3 scrap metals to make 1 reclaimed metal. Combine 3 reclaimed metals to make 1 refined metal, and 3 refined metals can be used to CRAFT A HAT.
It's still just a method of further obfuscating the amount of time and effort it will take that people will eventually catch on to being forever after which the whales will want to buy it
Can't buy anything in DB Fighter Z with real money. Only way is to play the game. The MORE you play, the more Zeni you earn to buy more loot boxes. The more loot boxes you buy, the higher the likelihood you'll get duplicate items to turn into Satan Coins for the good stuff. So, literally anyone willing to put the time in can get the nice stuff, and nothing in the loot boxes affects any gameplay. It's ALL cosmetics only (Taunts and clothing items, no power-ups or new moves). I mean, holy ***, this is how loot boxes should be handled.
