When FFIV came out, I believe it was $70.
So the sequel is less than half the price of the original? Sounds fine to me.

You must be new to digital distribution.

I played ReArmed on the PC with the keyboard and 360 pad, and the 360 analog stick works just fine. You don't exactly need that much precision. You don't need to use the dpad.

Is this the bright and shiny future that digital distro was supposed to bring about?

Yup, people seem to turn off their brains the moment the subject is DLC or digital distribution.

It's a very emotional topic for a very vocal minority, so better be careful. :)

If it came on a disc for 50$, you could buy it later on for 15$ used. Not so with a digital copy.

Will you even be able to buy digitally distributed games a year after release?

If it looked exactly the same as it does now, it'd still sell for $50 with few complaints.

SquareEnix and Bandai/Namco, both are too sleazy for their own good. Capcom hasn't gotten too many points in my book as of late either. I am noticing a trend here. Just remember people, I was knocked several times a year ago for predicting this shit would happen. Too bad I was right. I wish I wasn't.

Seriously man, don't expect it. Nintendo has yet to do any sales at all on ANYTHING in the WiiShop. Top that off with the fact that this is SquareEnix we are talking about. Not a company that has been very “generous” as of late. This is the third game they have released in this form if you count Space Invaders Get Even.

The instructions say that the first and last chapters are 800 points each. The other seven are 300 points.

I also laugh at the fact that people will complain about this price but would gladly pay $50 for it on a disc.

Whoa~ that's alot of money… And I already spent the 800 points… Oh well, I'm enjoying the game. A friend of mine asked how the game was, I told him “It's certainly a Final Fantasy 4 sequel.”

Episodic? Screw that! Too much trouble to be worth it.

RPG companies are turning into grifters.

This is airline-level sleazy. Even worse than the crap N1 pulled with Disgaea 3.
