I cannot get over this game costing $60 out the gate

[月暈]

This is barely different than the FF Pixel Remasters. Yeah sure, its gorgeous and the HD-2D is a serious makeover, but they're charging the price of a full budget, brand new game for this? What?

That sounds like a "you" problem. This game is not merely an art remaster.

I mean, neither are the FF PRs, though I'm not disagreeing with you entirely here.
I don't think it nessesarily should have been $60 but it is a total remake of the game, with a good deal of new content, as opposed to the PRs which of you exclude the soundtacks all probably had as much work combined as this one game, if not less.

I'd argue the PR's likely had substantially less work, given they were, for the most part, re-using all the old art assets as far as tile-sets, maps, enemies, characters, etc. The 1-3 PR's I believe were also using assets from prior updated ports.

Add to that the fact all of them were on the same engine and were mechanically very similar, with very little in the way of real cutscenes and no VA at all, and you've got a set of games that probably had an absurdly low production cost all things considered.

LOL, this looks WAY better than the Pixel Remasters. Those are more like remasters, this is a remake. Also, games have been $60 for 40 years.

Then maybe gaming doesn't need to be your hobby. And this isn't just a mere remaster

I paid $63 for the NES version.

Indeed the price is absurd as it's not a AAA title but an NES remaster. It's a cash grab, it will be half that price sometime this year.

I'm waiting for a sale, myself, OP. While I agree with you, a lot of regulars in communities tend to get upset when people complain about price points.

Cheers.

I still have my NES cartridge. Adjusting for inflation this costs less than the NES cartridge would today. It seems like a win to me.
BTW if any of you still have old Nes or Snes cartridges, look up the FC Twin. It plays both and it can also use real snes controllers.

An NES remaster? LOL, it's a remake. They even had a Super Nintendo remake of this game in the 90s. An NES remaster would have to have come out in like 1988 hahaha.

I regret nothing. $40 would have been an acceptable price for this game.

Lol ff3 and 5 pixie remasters looked bad, very bad. They weren't worth 3 dollars.

Do you even know how to read? You aren't even responding to anything I'm saying.

Wishlist & wait for sale. All games are overpriced according to my cheap a$$. At least with this game, you don’t have to worry about significant spoilers!
