I'll just watch someone play the demon on youtube. $60? Get lost with Atlus with your insane prices.

I assume you mean demo but isn't the point to actually try it yourself?

 

[ZeroX03]

Didn't they charge $40 for Chrono Trigger DS when it was new? This is a pretty good deal in comparison.

Still loling at this shit though.

This game ain't Chrono Trigger.

 

[Fularu]

Will buy for 10$ when Target clearances it 6 months later

 

[tensuke]

It's not like I haven't bought games for the included demo before, but, eh, fuck SE anyway.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

$60 for a console game never released in US. I'm more than not surprised, I didn't expect anything else. I'm more surprised people didn't share my expectations.

 

[Shadow Broker]

$40 for the demo and $20 for the game?

Deep Down.... I can live with that. Especially if the demo is longer than the Ground Zero demo.

 

[Altered Juice]

smart move, they know people are going to pay $60 for a demo.

 

[Xux]

What's the news here? $60 seems like a pretty good deal for a good Final Fantasy game.

 

[Astral Dog]

Oh my.

 

[jrcbandit]

I couldn't care less about the demo so I'll wait until I can get the game in the $40 range like it should be priced ;p.

 

[Roubjon]

More than willing to pay $60 for such an upgraded version of a game that never released stateside.

 

[DangerMouse]

Dat SE tax

Damn, beat me to it

 

[Infinite Justice]

XV starting to pay for itself from early

 

[Zoe]

Woah, it's releasing in the US before Japan?

Any word on first press incentives for the JP version?

 

[Hero Prinny]

I could care less about the demo so I'll wait until I can get the game in the $40 range like it should be priced ;p.

That implies that you actually do care

 

[dark_chris]

For a game that never got released in the US and got a beautiful graphical overhaul from its original inception, I don't see this a problem.

 

[SparkTR]

Now that's straight up bullshit pricing there, trying to milk the FF cow for all it's worth.

 

[Altered Juice]

That implies that you actually do care

i always think of it as 'it's not a big deal.'

 

[Fbh]

$60?
For the glorified version of a 3 years old psp game?

 

[DangerMouse]

For a game that never got released in the US and got a beautiful graphical overhaul from its original inception, I don't see this a problem.

Especially since it was never released here, I'm not really surprised that remaster is full price.

 

[soultron]

Game ain't gonna localize itself... oh, wait a second...

Spoiler

As long as it's good I don't care. First FF since IX that has me interested.

 

[flatearthpandas]

What did people expect after people bought Tomb Raider DE at full price one year after the original release?

I'll buy this at $20 max and Squeenix knows exactly where they can put their paid demo

 

[Protag]

This is SE here, why are we surprised.

 

[katkombat]

Wait this wasn't common knowledge? I saw it on amazon and gamestop.com a while ago. It is pretty shitty but the demo does seem like a way to sell the game.

Will buy though.

 

[Odrion]

HD remasters sure have gone a long way baby!

 

[ramuh]

I don't think we need to be surprised at this SE pricing. Don't they usually charge full price for nearly every game?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Stupid demo tax. It does look great though.

 

[Xux]

I don't think we need to be surprised at this SE pricing. Don't they usually charge full price for nearly every game?

Yeah, lots of companies charge the normal price for games.

 

[King Gilga]

Lol $60 for a psp game /w an hd texture pack fuck off square.

Welp people will buy it for the demo.

 

[flatearthpandas]

That implies that you actually do care

Everyone who speaks English understands what he's saying and realizes that the "wrong" way of the saying is used almost as frequently as the right way.

Correcting this phrase is about as useful as making fun of his username while avatar quoting.

 

[Nocturno999]

Will probably wait for a price drop but I need that demo in my veins.

 

[Konosuke]

Full price? I don't even care, give it to me now.

 

[DNAbro]

I see it as 45$ for the game, 15$ for the demo. Seems reasonable with that.

 

[Ultimadrago]

You mean the Final Fantasy XV demo is full-price.

 

[MrBS]

Now announce the US$90 LE that comes with a bluray sountrack and some art cards please squeenix. I want to preorder already!

 

[Korigama]

I wasn't expecting SE to charge less than $60 for it if they had the chance to get away with it.

 

[nictron]

That demo of XV though, will buy.

Yup

 

[Sinfamy]

Don't care, I'd pay $80. Its that SE interest charge.

 

[Paskil]

I think that at this point, I'm just going to order a PSP copy off Playasia and go the translation patch route. Either that or wait for a price drop. With how long it took SE to bring this over, I'm not giving them $60 for this game, regardless how badly I've wanted to play it forever. Shit like this makes me really cynical. TLOU

Spoiler

which I haven't double dipped on yet

should set at most, a minimum standard for pricing on last gen upres games, and what they did with TLOU is much more than what they're doing here. Not to mention this is a PSP game from 2011. I want to love you SE, but you keep doing this to me.

I hope people enjoy this. I've been waiting forever to play it (along with many others).

Sorry to be super negative.

 

[Jb]

If that's what it takes for it to come out here I'll take it.

 

[fedexpeon]

Not touching it.
Played the game already, and the battle system was a mess...and those exp grind for all characters. Who thought it was a great idea not to have shared experience points across the board?

 

[Logash]

I don't care at all. I'm just happy to be excited for Final Fantasy again. It comes with a FF15 DEMO!!!!!!!

 

[Inuhanyou]

Hah! Full price for a single PSP game?! Nyaah. I'm paying 40 for a full PS2 game plus a PSP game in December.

I'll wait till it goes down in price!

 

[Mockingbird]

Why did people expect otherwise?

 

[BaraSailey]

At this point, I'll pay 60 bucks. I just want to play it, it looks so damn good. Plus the game will probably be a good length, so I'll be getting my money's worth.

Plus that FF XV demo adds some serious value to it as well.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

It's a physical FF game I have been waiting to play for a while. I paid full price for FFIII(6) back in the day(I'm pretty sure I paid full price for EVERY FF game, including the first one, when they were all released, with the exceptions of FFXIII and FFXIII-2, which I got on the cheap a while after they were released), I don't mind paying full price for this! C'mon, Square, give it to me!

 

[djtiesto]

$60 for a game with probably around 40-50 hours of content, that was never before released in the US, with a big graphical upgrade, a demo for one of the most anticipated games in history... definitely seems worth it to me. You guys purchase these "AAA" games with 5-10 hours of content for $60 and then buy all the DLC packs that should've been included on the game disk in the first place and yet you complain about this?

 

[Windam]

I see it as 45$ for the game, 15$ for the demo. Seems reasonable with that.

Remember when demos came free with magazines?

 

[bobawesome]

I can't believe anyone believed otherwise...

This seems like a great price.

 

[Biker19]

This game had better be a definite remaster for this kind of price tag.
