why is it 70$?

[PotatoWifu]

its stupid u guys are fine with buying expensive ♥♥♥♥

[Tanktyr]

thats the new norm, well not actually new, i remember i used to pay that for snes games back in the days, so inflation hasnt really keept up :p

[Tyr Wulfram]

Sheep will be sheep. CoD started with it, and then it was Square Enix games. Now every new game has pretty much came out with that price tag. That’s why I never buy games at launch.

[Tanktyr]

just wait until gta 6 comes out with a 130 dollar price tag, and all the other devs will follow that price, just wait and see :p

Don't buy it, got to vote with your wallet.

Or go to "legal" key sellers where you can get a discount on the games price.

Worth lowkey it looks amazing with an awesome system thats similar to perona but very very different

[Plastic-Pop]

It'll be the only game I buy foreseeably for two months, factor in other means of reducing the price and the fact that its a completely new 80+ hour IP while carrying over established systems/code, I'd say it's probably one of the few games to jump on the $70 train that attempts to justify its price. That being said if Atlus pulls an Episode Aigis with potential post launch DLC I'll probably make the jump to being a Falcom promoter lmao

it's gonna another 100+ hour slog just like the Persona games, $70 sounds fair for the content you're getting.

[Ryker]

It was like $40 at GMG for awhile. Gotta look around.

$70 for 100 hours translates to 70 cents per hour of entertainment. Comparing to the control price of a movie theater ticket around me ($20 . . . yay California), which translates typically to an average of 2.5 hours of entertainment, I'm getting approximately 11 times the return from the game then I would a movie.

It's honestly pretty incredible the price of feature complete games has only gone up to $70 as of today. Games were selling for $60 back in the 90s. There's no other consumer good I'm aware of that's resisted inflation as aggressively.

its about 15 dollars per ticket depending on the theater here in oklahoma

+ another 15 for snacks i guess

[Diabolical Taco]

I spent more than $70 on a decent meal for two last night. Sounds like a life skill issue. Just stop panic buying TP produced domestically at Costco, and you won't believe how much other stuff you can afford.

I wish. $15 for a box of milk duds and a small soda maybe.

[HekiReki]

It isn't if you know how to not just buy at retail price? How are people so clueless ffs. Use Isthereanydeal - I preordered the game and spent a total of 47 for the DELUXE edition. Its also a AAA game.

[shelledfade]

I'll wait for this when its on sale over 50% off, when the bugs are fixed and they patch out the 2001 graphics.

by that time they'll probably have a remastered version that actually has modern graphics but it will probably be $80 lmao. These companies are ridiculous nowadays.
