Metal Gear Survive charging $10 for additional character saves

I didn't actually mean the two versions thing, rather the fact that if you want to start a new game you have to either pay again or delete your save. In that respect it's the exact same.

Multiple saves wouldn't allow you to farm Pokemon and trade them to yourself anyway. You'd still need 2 consoles and 2 copies of the game (plus a link cable for the older ones) in order to do that, so no, that isn't a valid reason.

So what you're saying is if MGS only had 1 character slot with no way to get anymore ever, you'd be totally fine with that, but having the option of buying more you're not ok with?

You could still get them all in one game save via farming, you'd just need a friend to do it at no cost to him/her (or literally to yourself if you happen to have both editions and another console lying around). Let's say the Red/Blue edition(s), you could have 6 lv100 Mewtwos on your team when it's all said and done. You'd just have to trade the Mewtwo from each of the save files back and forth and voila! Oh yes, because this wouldn't cheapen the game at all. 

And no, I wouldn't be okay with only one character save full stop in MGS, either. There's a world of difference between only allowing 1 save (or having to pay for additional saves) in a game that allows you to have multiple unique characters and only allowing 1 save to prevent obvious cheating/exploiting in the case of the Pokemon example.

Couldn't you just... patch those exploits? Seems much more sensible than denying you to have multiple save files.
