Custom Color-edit Soundtrack Option?

[solidscheme]

In this time where the community is getting bigger and more fighting games are hitting the scene, players should be able to customize features in their game/s to get the most personalized experience from them. We've been doing this with our arcade sticks and pads for quite a while now. I wonder why videogames based on Wrestling, Basketball, Football, Racing, etc. have so many things you can manipulate, but fighting games are stuck with just single play, head 2 head local or online or Story-mode. These games hav some nice soundtracks, but sometimes a person just wants to hear something else besides what is forced on you. It would be nice to have a feature where you can save your own favorite tracks to specific stages/rounds that you know will motivate you to play to your potential. I'm pretty sure some people won't even touch a game if they don't like certain features like once again the soundtrack or even the color/design of the outfits of characters. With customizing options, you can get exactly what you want out of the game and developers aren't tied to making those things anymore. If they still want to make a profit, they can by selling them as options to those gamers who want them. Even if we would have to register color designs to make sure they're legit (maybe even share them with the community), it would still be an option for anyone to take or leave.

Games have had color edit functions before, in fact the PC version of GGX2 Reload has color edit mode.  Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has a very robust soundtrack customization feature as well.  I guess they figure that the amount of people that want them is not high enough to justify the effort.  I'd like to have it though, maybe even have the arcade version let you save your custom colors to your player card so you can take it with you.  That obviously would not work for the console port however.

Isn't that only through the fanmade ggxxnet patch though?

Would it really take that much effort to add a color-edit mode and custom soundtrack option?

They don't want you to have it is pretty much what it comes down to. They spend a ton of money making music for the games, I don't think they'd wanna just put it in for the hell of it. Plus the music is awesome for the games.

The only thing they have to lose from it is that they can't make you pay 10 dollars for color packs and extra BGM, which they shouldn't be doing to begin with.

I think you just got the biggest point of all here.

The thing is that most people aren't going to buy more colors/tracks than the ones they want. They may spend $2.00 on colors and that's the end of that. Then you'll have others who'll just turn down the game's music volume and play music in the background from their phone/stereo (like me) and the company won't get a red cent when it comes to music. That's because if a person wants something different, they're not going to purchase what they're trying get away from. With the customizing option, we can have exactly what we want. That doesn't stop the company from releasing their own music for purchase either. Everyone can't make music or just really like what Arc creates. Options are good because they can sell both.
