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

According to whom exactly?

It offers well into the 50+ hour mark of content and the gameplay, story, music and so on are universally noted as good to high quality, compared to its competition it holds up very well. The whole handheld blah blah excuse is worn out and flawed news flash for anyone using that old chestnut handhelds are consoles on the go now this isn't the GB days.

No development cost don't matter they mean bugger all to what we enjoy in a game they can make them for free for all we care if they content is good then it's worth the price we pay. The Order cost a tonne of money to make it has nowhere near the same value as many cheaper to develop games, the fact that someone is trying to push development costs as a factor of value is downright shocking as those costs mean nothing in determining enjoyment of any game.

So let's say when you buy a house you don't care if they used the most garbage material or top notch, the price should be the same and companies should suck as much profit as possible from you and you wouldn't care as long as you like the house itself?

You make the wrong comparison. If I find a better house for cheaper that fulfills the same criteria (rooms, area and so on), I'll take that obviously. But as prices of houses in different areas differ it happens people buy more expensive houses with cheaper materials in areas they want to live in instead of taking the cheaper house with better materials in an area they don't want to live in.

Same with games. Name me the game which offers me the same as Octopath traveler but is better? You'll probably not find it. If I want a well-done turn-based RPG game with awesome art-style, then God of War just doesn't help.

There was the comparison with Shining Resonance in the thread. Both games had demos. And while I liked  the Shining Resonance demo and might purchase this game later on (maybe on lower price), the Octopath traveler demo blew me away. I can't say Shining Resonance has Waifus and is therefore the better game. Because Octopath traveler offers so much enjoyment, Shining Resonance is just no comparison. With all on the table it is obvious that Octopath has way more value than Shining. At least for me. And seemingly it is a big success worldwide, so this is true of many others. Octopath is just way more unique, that alone adds a lot to value.
