So, everybody wants new huge/epic games that cost a lot to develop and guarantee a playtime of most likely 50-100 hours, but don't want to pay 50$ for that?
By the way, the price in Japan will be 6980 Yen. Right now that's 75$.
The download version is still 6300 Yen.

Gamers in Japan would be pleased if everything was so "cheap" over here.

Don't get me wrong, I also think games are too expensive as a whole, but I find it amusing that people in one of the richest countries of the world complain most about game prices when their prices are among the lowest in the world (prices are considerably higher in Japan, Europe and Oceania).

But Ninpie is 14 and I'm a full-time student.

$$ is scarce.

$$ is always scarce. ... For some people. :(

When I was 14 I couldn't afford many games either, because they were so expensive and the internet (amazon) wasn't there yet to save the day. Kids/adolescents these days have it much better in comparison. Just saying. ;)

But we're straying far from the topic...

On topic:

Atlus probably need to price this a bit higher, because localization also costs a huge heap of money and it's more a niche than mainstream game.
