I love the art style. It captures my nostalgia perfectly - that's a better version of how my favourite games on the SNES used to look like. But not only is the price too high, regional pricing screws me over even more, so I won't be buying until it's a lot fairer.

So then don't buy it? There's no problem here. Why would you even buy it at a lower price if you think it's an ugly eyesore? The price shouldn't effect how you feel about the graphics, that doesn't even make any sense...

I wouldn't, just letting devs know don't make stupid mistakes on games like this.

Has this worked before?

Do you honestly think you're that important?

From July 13, 2018 to January 2019, the combined physical and digital sales of the game had exceeded 1.5 million copies worldwide on Nintendo Switch. Pretty sure Square-Enix isn't concerned about how you feel about the graphics...

Clearly there is a market for games with unusual and retro art styles, you just happen to not fall within that demographic. I'm not sure why this upsets you so much.

I don't think i'm important at all but my money is, thats all these companies care about and thats the only power we have over them..

If they don't listen we don't pay them.. I'm good with that maybe next time they listen they'll sell 10 million units instead of a paltry 1.5...

Game already sold incredibly well and far exceeded expectations on Switch and one the the biggest aspects was the graphics lol

Right about the price, so very wrong about the art tho
You basically try to use your own opinion as some way to tell the devs people aren't gonna buy the game, but then you're proven wrong and now the masses are wrong for liking something YOU think is ugly.

Just admit this is all just your own opinion, which is actually quite an unpopular opinion. The aesthetics of this game is one of the things that had people incredibly excited even before it's release on the Switch.

Condescension doesn't work when you're just straight up wrong about how many copies a game will sell.

It is my own opinion, i never said it wasn't but i am shocked so many customers like this ugly art style tbh.. Honestly no amount of taste in gaming communities today, seems the masses will buy any old garbage no matter how ugly it is..

No wonder game companies don't have to bother anymore.

So basically "this is my opinion", but you also can't seem to understand what an opinion actually is, and you're somehow baffled by the fact that not everyone shares this opinion. It's like you know what the word means, but can't actually grasp the meaning, and are just using it because it benefits you when attempt to criticize something.

Even if your opinion of this being ugly is disagreeable, it is your opinion, and that's totally fine. The problem is how you're talking down on literally everyone, and don't understand that your opinion is your opinion, and that while it's not wrong, it's not correct either. You're basically saying everyone besides you is wrong.

If you're gonna post an unpopular opinion, do so respectfully. How do you expect anyone to take you seriously if you don't? Also, it might help if you realize your opinion isn't the only one in the world.

Disagree as my money is as valid as anyone elses, so my opinion is just as valid, as i'm forced to pay more than all EU and US customers i'd say my opinion is more important..

Funny, again... "Money" : So you basically criticized either the game art-style being anyway not to your taste, and the price being to high, here.
What is the point ? If actually you don't like it, and don't want to spend your money on this, it's ok :

Go buy something you really like and enjoy, instead. :engineercat: - There is still a bunch of choice left, I guess.
