Why in the world is Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age $50 (Steam / PC)? Other games that you think is priced too high relative to its release or content?

The LoH Trails of CS games are still $40 on steam. Sky are cheaper but are so old at this point. And rarely are on sale.

$20 on amazon.
There's also a pretty sweet collector's edition I wasn't aware of

Hmm, it's currently on sale on the e-shop. At least here in UK, PS4 physical goes for around ÂŁ15. Also OP, it's confirmed to be coming to Game Pass. I think I've covered all platforms here.
The physical version has been $20 at Walmart since from... what seems like forever.
Edit: Yep. Bought it in April 2018 for $19.96.

What platform? If it's console I see it regularly for 25 bucks at least for physical copies. If it's steam you'll see it at the same price for the winter sale i believe
and yeah, it's the best remaster they've done of a FF by far
It goes under 25 pretty regularly I think. I just got it for 20 on switch during BF.
To gather dust until eventually getting around to it sometime.

That doesn't make sense. Why would it be low for physical copies and playstation consoles but not for PC?

If you only buy directly from Steam, you're doing it wrong.

I guess they're just trying to get rid of the physical copies.
Honestly XII is worth the fifty bucks. But if you've played it before.............. yeah. STILL WORTH IT
yes, this is always how retail works. Clear out the old inventory by price cutting it until it's gone. I already have a physical copy but might double dip on that CE.
It's just the nature of physical versus digital. Physical drops price much faster.
Wait 18 hours till the next steam sale, it was legit 24.99 like two months ago.
the thing is, square like almost never drops the permanent price on psn or steam
I paid 10€ for it when Saturn had it on sale in June 2018. Sales like those are the main reason I went with the disc PS5. Retail stores still put out damn good sale prices every now and then while the download prices never really get that much lower. It especially sucks with older games like FF12, yeah.
Steam sales are basically monthly at this point, and keeping it at a high default MSRP makes for a more impressive looking "-70%" or similar when it goes on sale. I don't know if this is actually their logic, but it isn't an uncommon sales tactic across industries.
Final Fantasy games always drop to 50% of the price during any sale on Steam. So like tomorrow, just in time!
I have it on disc, but I'd love to get a digital copy... to play on PS5. The same goes for DQ Builders 1. I don't know why Square Enix refuses to let these games drop below €20.
For whatever reason, SE used the Switch/Xbox releases as an excuse to "reset" the PC version's price/sales price.
every release that isn't like 15 years old or bomba is "ridiculous" at msrp. i always get a kick claiming free games that i aleady have that normally go $40+
square enix in particular do it nintendo style, the premium is baked into their business model. honestly i was surprised FFVIII Remaster came in at $20 (i think?, maybe not the exact $ amount but i was surprised)

It's because VIII remaster is just a port with some touch ups, similar to the VII and IX releases. Even SE isn't crazy enough to charge through the roof for that.
It was always $50. They had a 20% launch-week discount.
I doubt they'll ever change the base price on Steam. It only happens very rarely when some new edition comes out on other platforms that happens to be cheaper than the original release (like FFXV Royal or NieR GotY).
When it comes to digital, SE abritarily decides to price protect games. *points at Octopath Traveler and Tokyo RPG Factory games*
It's on saw constantly digitally but also...$50 is more than fair for the game and the amount of content in it, what are you on about?
Playing Age of Calamity put me in the mood for some Stable Framerate Musou but all the ones I want on Steam are still 60 bucks despite being 2+ years old.
Pretty much all Nintendo Switch games are priced too high according to their release and content. Zelda and Mario Kart for Switch are still $59.99 on Nintendo's own store.
As far as non-Nintendo games, I think Monster Hunter Iceborne should have dropped in price for the holidays.
Yeah, this is like Nintendo Switch, the Thread.
