Too expensive. I waited so long for PC version, I can wait a bit longer for a discount. Enough other games to play.
Delusional pricing. Way to sabotage any chance of selling a few copies. Good luck, SE. You will need it.
And sadly I don't think SE ever remove Denuvo even when their games have been cracked for months.
Buy the game guys. We gotta support Square Enix so that they can get out of debt and keep on developing awesome games.
Are you trying to suggest MH and OT are on the same level of awareness? I don't know about that one chief.
$60....yikes
Was a day one purchase, now I'm waiting for a sale. Just not going to pay more than $40 for this. This is poor pricing imo. They launched Final Fantasy XV on PC for $50 and it included year-1 DLC and the Royal edition updates, for example. Not sure what they are thinking with this price.

Part of me was thinking about double dipping in the hope I'd actually finish the game this time. But I wasn't willing to pay full price at £40 so I'm definitely not willing to pay £50.

SE sure love sabotaging the launch of this great game on PC :/ Should've been at least $50, with region pricing that makes sense and no denuvo.
It's a great game. Better than the last two SP final fantasies
Low bar to clear, even then I'm not convinced. At least the party members in FF talk to each other.
If that's true then the regional pricing here is worse than I thought.

i guess it means the environments will be rendered at 4k but the pixel art sprites and effect will just be upscaled.
Lol, "sale". You know the great thing about pc pricing and even console games back when GCU and Prime new release discounts where a thing? You didn't have to buy two games to get a mediocre $10 off.
I paid $80 CAD for this game on Switch twice (digital and physical) and I still think it's being way overpriced here. This is a year later port, more expensive than any other SE ports, and the PC user base is significantly more price-sensitive than the Switch user base. This ain't gonna work. Shame too because it's a fantastic game that could have found a new audience.
What memo did I miss about Octopath? It wasn't perfect at all but it was far from "awful".
The game just came out like last year so I understand why it's full price. It's a pretty great game so I hope it has success.
Square has really random prices. One release is 13€ like Chrono Trigger, another release is 25€ like Romancing Saga 2, FFXIII was like 13€, FFXV was 50€ but it came with all dlcs (excluding Ardyn), FFXII is 50€, FFIX is 21€.
It seems with each release they just pick up a random price and sell the game. DQXI made sense for 60€, it was released like a couple of months after the PS4 version, Octopath being 60€, a one year later port with no new content...just no.

Anyone complaining about the price clearly hasn't played the game or hasn't been properly informed about it. This game is HUGE. We're talking about 120+ hours of gameplay if you're a completionist. At the very least completing all the stories will take you 80+ hours. There is an immense amount of rich story dialogue, an insane amount of towns and dungeons, one of the most beautiful soundtracks of the past gen, etc. It only looks like a "cheap" game because of its 2D-ish aesthetics. Don't let that fool you. This game is very meaty and you will get your money's worth, unless you don't actually like JRPGs.
Lmao shitty ass regional pricing. Gtfo with that shit.
Twice as much as division 2 ULTIMATE EDITION LMAO

Okay I gotta ask since I have not played the game.
My friend said that the party travels together but they do not acknowledge each other's existence aside very few instances, it's like they are traveling on different dimensions and just pop together for combat.
Is this remotely true or was he bullshitting?

DQ11 launched on pc alongside ps4 outside japan, it was a day 1 release.
and the localized versions had a lot of improvements over the japanese version.
Ah ok, my fault. Well, anyway the 60€ price was ok for DQ11 being a new release.

i don't think people are complaining that the game isn't worth 60 bucks because of what it is, there's only a few people who believe 2D games or pixel art games can't be 60 bucks and those people shouldn't be taken seriously. the issue is it's a year old port of a console game, and usually those are priced lower than what they they launched at on their original platform. another issue is the ridiculous regional pricing that makes it even more expensive than the equivalent of 60 bucks in those regions.
