My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.
Other communities:
Can't wait for Square to charge money to swap materia from weapons in FF7.
Don't give them ideas!
World was like this too. Are RPS not outraged about that, or is it the case that Wilds generates more traffic for them?
Often times, including this time for sure, changes like this are made after the review period specifically so that they'll fly under the radar from press. But also, they may just be informing their readers who didn't know the last several times Capcom has done this.
During the betas at least, it was mentioned in at least one of the interview/preview videos that you could adjust your character whenever before release but after release it would cost money. Not sure how accessible the information was but it wasn't a total secret.

Could you clarify? As far as I can tell it was there when Wilds launched on PC.
The review period is typically pre-launch. In a perfect world, the benefit there is that reviewers aren't all rushing to get their review done first, and publishers get to have good review scores correspond with the launch of the game, right when interest in buying it is at its peak. But in this case, they can review the game before the release date, praise it, and then Capcom can sneak in a patch on day 1 of its real release that adds in microtransactions like these that might sink the score if they were there for the reviewers.
I thought this was for stat distributions at first, which would be annoying, but at least somewhat understandable. But this actually seems to be just cosmetic re-rolling, which is just absurd.
I get it if a developer doesn't want it to be free to reroll a character's appearance. But don't charge them money for it, just make them do a quest or something. God damn.
So Im stuck with what I chose at the beta test as I wouldn’t want to blow my chance at a free change later?
Apparently you get a free redo, per the headline
Yes but if I were to play I’d hold on to that free redo forever since it was the only one.
