I love how you're complaining about a price tag on a game that takes 140hrs+ just to finish a playthrough, and that's just for Vanilla P5. If you already love the game enough to devote even more time to playing through Royal, and can see the glowing reviews that show it more than justifies the price, then you shouldn't have a problem with something this petty. If the price is that big an issue, you're more than welcome to re-play Vanilla for now, no one's stopping you. If you don't care about the game enough to pay that, or never even bothered to finish the game originally, then I'm not sure why you're in this thread to begin with.

Also, I'm not sure if this important part was noted by anyone else, but all the DLC from Vanilla P5 (which costs a lot even if you buy the bundle) are actually available for free with Royal

Adding to all that, we're having to entertain these arguments from someone who's profile picture is him holding a black label copy of The Legend of Dragoon. Talk about peak irony.

I love Persona 5, but I'm definitely not paying them another $60 on it.

Yes so if I bought all that DLC and still have to rebuy it for $60 to get to play with the new char and changes it makes it even more expensive.

If you think its ok to accept companies to not care about people that support them its fine, I definitely think its not.

What is the irony with me holding a black label of The Legend of Dragoon? I paid the same on it as I paid on Persona 5, a single retail price. What's your point?

The irony is that if the cost of a game matters to you so much, you could sell your copy of The Legend of Dragoon and probably have enough to afford The Legend of Dragoon on PSN and Persona 5 Royal right now.

But if you're gonna claim this is all a matter of principle, and say that Atlus didn't sell you the 'complete Persona 5', you first have to establish how the copy of Persona 5 you already own isn't already a complete product. When you bought Persona 5 originally, and sunk in the time to platinum it, were you not already satisfied with your purchase, and did Atlus not already fulfill their end of the bargain? You enjoyed it enough to buy all the DLC already available for it, which are quite pricey, but apparently you're appalled at the prospect of having to pay $60 for a new version that adds a lot more substance than that DLC.

What these games are worth has nothing to do with how much content or what kind you think justifies a re-release, or whether you believe it's possible for this to be available as DLC, therefore Atlus should be obligated to give you that option. You either want to pay top dollar to play it immediately, because you desire playing it that much, or you don't believe it's worth the price, therefore you can just wait patiently. Just like how the price for a black label The Legend of Dragoon doesn't correlate to the fact that it's a 20yr old PS1 game, but instead it's driven by the desire and demand from people who want to own it.
