for those who don't want another Fire Emblem character you don't have to buy it ^_^.

Except for all the people who already bought it with the fighters pass.

Nope, they didn't have to buy it either.  They chose to, which would be pretty stupid, unless like me they were sure they'd want whatever characters were offered.  And since Corrin was released last time as DLC, it's not like this wasn't foreseeable.
