is it worth it though?
game seems just like a slightly tweaked etrian odyssey game, which really wasn't my thing.
I think senran kagura versus is also priced at $50 retail no?

Would be nice, but since it's Atlus there's almost zero chance of there being dual audio.
That's a Vita game, and it's a LE.
What I said before on this.
what are you talking about?what are you talking about? it cost $80
the standard is 50. the premium is 80.

Waited on other higher than I wanted pay Atlus titles to go on sale. I'll do the same here.
I know haha but I could't resist the premium edition so the standard doesn't count for me XD
you're insane in the membrane

I'm definitely part of the problem because Atlus can charge whatever they want and still get all my monies.
ayup.

It was $35 for me thanks to bestbuy.ca's E3 deal,
but I could understand the concern.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
This is like how they cash in on Star Trek fans, they know these people will pay for anything new, so they take advantage to a ridiculous extent.
I dunno, I feel like Atlus has assigned me homework by hitching P3 on this. Considering picking up Arena on a Sunday so I don't go into this totally blind.
if p3 were homework I'd be a better student
I would pay triple SMT4's price for any core SMT. Not joking. The series is so well developed from gameplay and storyline perspectives that it (theoretically) needs a premium. I'm still discovering allegorical undertones of SMT4's plot and atmosphere by watching videos of the game after I played it three times over and I feel totally bored when playing most other RPGs because I just don't have the same level of difficulty or control over my character and strategy that I do in mainline SMT.
Persona, though... don't know how to feel about there being a premium on that, personally speaking. I know I'll get hated by virtually everyone here for saying this, but it is my honest opinion that a standard RPG should get a standard price. The dungeon crawling in Q looks tempting, but I don't expect it to be of the intensity of SMT1/2/SJ having looked at a few videos, and the rest of the gameplay / story will probably be par for the course.
In the end, I probably don't care and would approve of a price premium even though I wouldn't be comfortable paying it personally; Atlus is one of the only companies that can produce RPGs that don't suck, and they have an existing fanbase that will pay that premium, so it's to everyone's benefit.
Got it day one but couldnt recall how much it was, I find the lack of discount on the digital version a bit disappointing as you arent getting all the extra tat with it so its "costing" Atlus less to "produce"
Looking at the replies in the thread they seem to know exactly what they're doing. Their usual audience will buy it anyway. Apparently even twice.
I am not even a die hard persona fan, but I love etrian odyssey and that art style, that's what got me

Actually Ultimax is going to be sold for 59.99 in the States so probably Atlus tax on that.
Still getting both.

You guys need to learn to be more awesome like me. I'll rent it off gamefly then keep it for a bit cheaper.

Well, I end up enjoying most Atlus/Handheld games more than the $60 AAA titles I pay for. And they usually end up being lengthier games too. SO. Would I love to continue paying $34.99? Absolutely. But $50 isn't going to stop me from buying these titles (especially when its my favorite series).

I'm a little crabby about it since I'l be paying it twice. The bonuses in this are junkier than SMTIV's too, and this game doesn't come with a free Ace Attorney 5.
As am I.

I'm so used to these 45€ RRP games here that it took a second for the issue to sink in.

is Ultimax region-locked on PS3?

I will still buy it because I want the game that much. That said I do dislike this premium price, I usually only let Nintendo get away with that.

What if they charge 50 for P4D? :lol
I only got SMT IV at launch due to the SMT IV + Fire Emblem 30$ e-shop credit deal. On its own, Persona Q doesn't seem worth the 50$ price tag, so I've no problem waiting. I've also no problem with Atlus charging a premium price as I'm sure they will get enough business at that price point, and why not... if it means ongoing support for titles such as this. I don't feel obligated to pay more than I feel a game is worth, though. It'll be mine at sub 40.
Welcome to capitalism, friend. Companies charge what the market will bear.
Doubt it. Persona 4 Golden was $40 so there's no premium for Atlus games there.
The only Vita game I can think of that actually went above the MSRP was Call of Duty: Declassified.
or there wasn't in 2012...
