Funny thing is I keep thinking SF II HD Remix is too expensive at $15 even w/ redrawn graphics and new gameplay, perhaps it’s because I can’t fully enjoy it w/o the arcade stick..

All of us are price conscious especially considering the no. of new games out there. If you don’t mind waiting for 6 months to a year price is bound to drop. FF Tactics the Lion War was $40 when it first came out and now it’s $20. For those who have never touched this game, $40 is quite reasonable and a bargain even.

It’s interesting how VC change people’s perception of price, like Ikaruga was very rare and cost a ton, now it’s up for grabs for 800 pts on Live arcade.

It all comes down to if you must play it on day 1, and having to pay the premium accordingly. I suppose if this is a 3-D remake like FF4, people would have no complaints w/ the price tag, yet they would be upset w/ the new rendition as opposed to sprites.

And honestly, if Square is taking advantage of stupid people to get them to give lots of money for the same games over and over again, I’m fine with that. It stimulates the economy.

Sure, but by releasing the DS version, they’re denying everyone the opportunity to buy a sanely-priced Virtual Console version. They’re definitely not going to release them both.

I don’t blame them though, last time Square ventured into the unknown CG movie business, it bankrupted them and resulted into the historic merger w/ former rival (regrettable due to bad script). They still know how to make an impressive and fun RPG though, Last Remnants’ unforgiving boss battles still have my heart pumping despite it being turn-based.

Another argument is that JRPGs were big in the 90′s among teens, it was hip as the next big thing and you talk about it w/ friends in high school, while FPS and war games are the norm these days, sales-wise.

Though I’m afraid of a new CT sequel, because as it is SE will spoil it with it’s “modern” touch – I’d hate to see a CT sequel written by the the KH team and with designs by Nomura.

While I’m loving the fanservice of Dissidia and the likes, it’s quite disappointing that Japan’s biggest company has to feed off on 20 years of nostalgia to make a profit and hasn’t pushed the envelope for what it’s know for in at least 5 or 6 years. Now wonder their desperate.

Where is the SE of the mid 90s? CT, CC, PE, FFVI-IX, XG, Musashi, all those games are priceless memories I have and it seems that after the merger the only relevant SE stuff that’s been released for me comes from the Enix side, with the exception of Crisis Core.

They need to remind themselves of what made them big back then, and try to improve on it.

Cloud & Co. derivative products are such a hit because Square didn’t abuse them or even use them for a long time after the release of the game, that made them unique, classic and memorable.

They should stop abusing for a while because the magic juice will be sucked out and their cash cow will die.
