FF now is like the Capcom Megaman.

And you're right, sequel in most cases, ruin the perfect self contained story, did we really need Dirge of Cerberus, or FF X-2? So far I like 1-6, 7-10, and the upcoming 13. But the other things are like spin-offs to me, and shouldn't even be a numbering FF title, like the online games. 12 felt pseudo-online to me. So now we you talk about the title “Final Fantasy” w/ someone, it's really too broad a term.

I am a working adult (not student w/ part time jobs) nd certainly buy my fair share of games, but I think people have a right to comment on unreasonable prices, such as PSP Go for $249.99.

However, this spirte FF IV sequel sold as a Wiiware d/l, I don't think all the episodes are worth ~$40 collectively. Yes, digital copies and a tangible hard copy have different perceived worth. And I don't agree $50 is a good retail MSRP. At this point this price mark deters my interest that I have for the game.

Just to put it in perspective, I thought FF7 Int'l sold on Jpn PSN for 1500 yen is gouging (buying point card cost even more), while it being $9.99 on the US PSN is much more acceptable. Every little cent helps in this recession, that's why people buy games at discount from Amazon or buy.com (san shipping / tax).

I've gotta say, it's hard for me to shell out that money knowing it's basically the Recomended Price Point for a physical DS game (and I don't remember the last time I bought them for that price).

The game is too expensive. 32 dollars for a game I can't even hold is just way too much to ask for. Sure each one is really only 3 dollars a month after getting the base game but in the end its a lot of money that I would rather spend on an actual disc.

I'm not grateful for these games because these kinds of games are the reason I really don't even want to be a Final Fantasy fan anymore. XIII looks like a great game but they've already started milking it to death. When it came to XII and they started the Ivalice Alliance I was fine with it since Ivalice has been a world thats been appearing since Tactics and has had other games set in it, even a non-Final Fantasy game. Each game builds on a world that fans were already introduced to and only one of them had real connections to XII. But XIII's completion is filled with games that have nothing to do with XIII. They aren't spin-offs building the same world, they're completely different games that have absolutely nothing to do with one another. Things like this make me lose respect for a series I've loved for as long as I could remember.

Everyone keeps saying its too expensive… In this market, games are expensive. GET OVER IT. Stop begging your mom to buy it for you and get a job. Problem solved.

Sheesh, you would think the fans would be GRATEFUL to get a sequel. I know I am, I love The After Years, and I'm enjoying it so much!

gah… I'm being tempted by you guys to shell out the money… but I don't want to, it's too expensive :(

3 million paid downloads as well, so it's not unthinkable that someone here already played the game. AFAIK there is no story difference between the phone and the WiiWare versions, just graphics and of course language.

Bought the base game today, and love love love it. Final Fantasy as it should be.
