How does this work? Are you not able to play as Exdeath anymore after that period? Or is there some kind of personal save for them? Also, if you miss that window, would you never be able to play as Exdeath again? It sounds awfully strict, that window.

Also, what happened to the awesome barrier and counter type moves he had in the original Dissidia games? That was what made him so fun to use. He looks to be closer to a normal fighter now, which is a shame to me.

I'm guessing you can unlock Exdeath earlier in May if you meet certain conditions, then he becomes available for everyone in June?

That'd make more sense. It'd be frustrating to have a character be available on an arcade machine for a short period of time, considering a large part of the arcade market are people who happen to be passing by and looking to kill time.

Unless the Japanese arcade scene is that different from the arcade scene everywhere else and consists mainly of dedicated regulars, because whatever few arcades are left here in the United States don't! American companies like Raw Thrills and ICE (the arcade distributor, not any other organization with that name) market strictly to first-time players because they know very few Americans get attached to arcade games, and they also know most arcade machine operators are not savvy enough to update anything or connect the machines online.
