As far as i can tell it's not real money. You do it with an in-game item that you use in-game money to buy.
Yeah, Devil May Cry 5 (same devs) had the exact same thing. The mtx items could all be very easily earned just by playing the game normally, and nothing was locked behind real money. Capcom just loves the bad publicity for whatever reason
Thanks for the context!
I think the problem is that it's also being sold as a dlc of sorts.
Even if it can be obtained in-game without purchasing it separately, why is it available for purchase?
If I were to guess, developers keep trying to let capcom's execs understand normalized way to set up a cash shop but they won't pick up the fax.
