Thats what i said though, theres no way to compare 2 different games. The only way, at least for me, is the development (effort/time/cost).

Let's say you buy a nice benz for 90.000 with all the extras.
Would you still buy it for 90.000 without any extras?
Or in this case, pay substantially more ( in some regions) with the same extras?

Obviously not. ( i would assume )

I enjoyed the game, it's a good game and i hope that people who bought it will enjoy it aswell.
However, i would just wait for a sale, instead of paying the current price. And from what i've read, skip the game entirely in some regions. 200+ bucks... yikes.

Far as for price in other regions, it cost $0.20 ~ $20 in some regions compare to USD on Steam, for switch copy that vary, but far as I knew highest was about $20 ~ $30 extra in few regions for USD, not sure where $200 fits in this, unless meant switch copy for collector edition or something.

If I was paying for something, and if it's exactly the same thing, then yes I wouldn't pay extra for the exact same thing, if we compare two completely different, then comes to the question is it worth it to you for what you're paying to get, that's about it really.

The price is I see as standard, since that's how publishers been doing it for longest time, when I hear new game, I assume either gonna be $40, $50, or $60 USD, or in CAD $60, $70, or $80, depsite what the game is, or what it looks like, if it was a large title game. For remaster, I can expect at least $10 ~ $40 less than of that, as that's what have been so far I seen of late for few years, for remakes they're kind of random, either be price of remaster, or price of a new big title, as much as we want prices in our opinion it just won't happen, and only thing as you said is wait for the game to go on sale at a lower price.

I have a job. Sadly i receive minimum wage- on Brazil. Theres a reason why steam adjust prices here, and octopath didn't- meaning its more expensive then what 60dollar games are priced here.

And octopath alone is around 25% of what i earn monthly. Im not even joking.

Still i manage to spend some in games most months, around 60-80 brl on games, sometimes 100 (its a hobby i care)- well, octopath is 227 brl.
Right now destiny 2 is 65 brl. Divinity Original sin 2, full price, is 90 brl. Pillars of eternity 2 around the same. Warhammer Chaosbane, wich seems weridly priced (not adjusted) is 169 brl, still a lot cheaper.

Yo if there is a regional issues I'm on your side and agree its not worth the inflated price but to just complain because its a pixel art game and because other more expensively made games exist is just plain stupid.

I'm on your side as well when it comes to regional pricing. No one should have to pay way more for a game than what is normal price in their region. As someone else said in a different section, in Brazil (their currency) on launch day The Witcher 3 was $129.99, Final Fantasy 15 (I think he said) $139.99 and another game was $129.99. This game is $219.99 or $229.99 over there. That's insane. That would be the equivalent to $120.00 here in America for the game.

I took someone's word for it, i should have known better.

I found this though, still pretty odd.

Since he from Brazil, he paying less than $60 USD, and far as I see, this is what the prices are for all the regions on Steam ATM.

Steam allows for regional pricing, octopath( Square Enix ) did a direct conversion from USD , just like you did, and thats bad and wrong. that's why so many people are upset.

60$ USD have a different value in for example brazil then it does in USA...or germany...or australia etc etc.

Keyword here is : "regional pricing"

What you see isn't wrong... It's the value of one currency to another currency, the value of one country ecomony, may, or won't be the same such as food, devices, games, and etc. Price you see is the standard price that has been going on in Brazil for years, if I remember right it was R$ 220 ~ R$ 250 when it came to $60 games which so far it's fits exactly in that area as of right now, as their currency isn't exactly going up in value by much for years.

"regional pricing" is something set by the Publisher / Dev that controls the prices on what they want from that currency / country. When they say they support regional pricing, it means they may, or not adjust the prices for the currency, either A) Same value for what they want in the currecny example of wanting pay same cost in one country, or B) adjust the prices to that country money ecomony difference, either charge more, or less.

When having issues with not agressing for their "regional pricing", best you can do is contact them to look into it, and hope they adjust it to your liking for your currency / country, but ultimately it's up to the Publisher / Devs that control the prices. When you said $200, I assume you meant by upto that amount in USD for conversion from another currency, which R$200 is not a equivalent of $200 USD doesn't matter where in the world, it will never be equivalent of to each other, unless they have the same buying power for 1 to 1, the issue is that of the currency buying power, and that's all there is, if Brazil can somehow make their currency gain more buying power, then yes the prices will lower for the video games, in Brazil, but again the Pubs / Devs will need to adjust the prices themselves when it comes to that.

This is my own thoughts on this so don't take it as a fact.
A Pixel style game that is more expensive than FINAL FANTASY XV !?
Is this game worth it to me?
No! And the price is not the reason.
The combat animation Sucked @$$!....to me atleast....The rest of the game is ok....But that combat animation man.....urgh!!
I mean seriously, A still image sprites with a little to no body movements!
Breath of fire 3 & 4 Had more work done In their combat menu + animation than this! And they are a PS 1 GAMES!!
I mean look at this!
(video)
The Breath of fire 4 project started in the late 90's and was released on April 2000.
If a game was made almost 20 years before yours and it had better combat animation!....You are F ing up! Its 2019 Damn it!
I won't be playing it even if it was free to play.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this game was inspired/modeled off of the second half of FF6. So it's similar to that....minus the story, because it lacks humor, passion, and desperation...it's like it was written by an AI program.

The vibe was already destroyed by the ugly DoF and Bloom. An animation could hurt it more.

except Brazil doesn't work around dollar. We work on real (R$) and its a completely different reality.

Charging $59 in Brazil is a dumb move. Basically no one here bought the game. Too bad for SE then because i'm sure 95% of the people here will probably pirate the game out of despite for SE's publishing business while the actual developers of the game don't deserve its sales being hurt by piracy.
