To those who say Octopath is not worth 60 dollars...

Those games should be less too. Publishers should try different prices like Sony did with Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank. The Order 1886 might have been a success if it was $30, but it could have flopped again who knows.

Why should Octopath be a lower price? It's selling out world over and it's critically acclaimed. As I said before this isn't a widespread problem or complaint for Octopath Traveler, so I don't know why we're even having this debate.

I prefer Japan's pricing better, as in its all over the place and fits the game. A highly sought after game like MHW can be $70-$90, while the simple anime games are as low as $40-$60. Lower prices on launch generally have very good legs too, without having to cut the price.

Lets compare MHW, Octopath Traveler, and Smash Ultimate in Japan.

MHW was 7922 yen or $71.10.

OT was 6333 yen or $56.84.

Smash is 6705 yen or $60.18.

So you see $60 for everything isn't best imo.
