Japan probably won't care. Wii Fit was about the same price, and Japan ate that up.

But Wii Fit came with a peripheral.

FF13 cost was over 40 $ million.

A games development cost doesn't matter to the avg consumer.  They just care about their wallet.  If a game costs $90 (or the equivilant), some people are going to think twice about buying it, unless they REALLY want it.  This is another reason handheld games are doing 5-10x more business in Japan.
