Is the Definitive Edition worth it if I already own the regular version on Steam?

[Sturm]

I love the game and the new features seem cool but i'm wondering if it's worth the money.

I think only if you plan to play it a lot more. It's a good version and a lot of the quality of life changes (quick menu, horse hailer, nose for treasure, changes to the mini forge + camp vendors, etc) are really nice. Plus the music is great.

But I don't think it's worth buying JUST to see the new story content. The 4 new character interludes are pretty fun to play through once or twice, but they're only about 30-40 minutes of content each and don't add much new stuff. Tockington is an awesome idea and some of the quests are really neat references to the older games, but overall it just felt pretty tedious to do the whole thing. I felt the same about 2D mode. The combat, menus, random encounters, etc just weren't really designed for this game and it feels clunky and less balanced.

But I think if you really like the 2D games and/or you want to do new 100% runs or challenge/draconian runs it's probably worth getting still.

Buy this on sale whenever you feel the desire to come back to this game in the future would be my suggestion.

Definitive Edition added the japanese VO. That was a big plus for me to buy the game.

OG doesn't have JP VA? Are you serious?!

There were no voices in the OG in Japan. So that is why English is the only language available in that version.

I'm waiting on a significant discount myself but to answer the question, this is worth having if it had a more than 40% discount and those that got the vanilla version on PC should at lest have another discount that they could apply on top since it would be fair for them.

There's more changes to this game that the usual ones that are mentioned like:

1- You can get into the horse race earlier than you could.
2- The table where you learn natural abilities is changed a bit. Veronica starts with the spell Crackle for example.

There's other changes that you will subtle notice.

It's already on a permanent discount now and often gets another 35% discount on top of that. So it's pretty close to what you want.

I wouldn't call it being at the price this version was at when it released being a 'permanent discount'.

DQXI S on PC was $39.99 when it launched.

It is $39.99 now.

It is $39.99 now.

And yet IIRC the original was $59.99 when it launched. Seems like a 33% discount post-release to me.

The original isn't on sale any more. This is a different product, even if most of it is the same.

It's an improved superior product. As far as I'm concerned, it's a perma 33% discount.
