First of all, the two versions are entirely different games after Ch. 6. Both have been explicitly stated as having entirely different stories and gameplay, so you don't need to buy both to "complete" the game. Either version could literally be a standalone game if they wanted them to be, but they instead decided to give us two whole games. It's already been said that U.S. is going to get BOTH as one $40 game with OPTIONAL third path DLC anyway. They are literally giving us enough content for possibly 3 games at <$60, and you call it "forced DLC"? You're the reason shampoo bottles have instructions on the back. For proof, go look at the Japanese Direct. They start talking about the two versions as separate releases, which dis not the case on the UK nor US versions of the Direct.

Both the new fire emblem and legend of zelda are not until 2016 im already tired of this year.
