I just noticed Star Ocean 4 will be sold for 8,925 Yen, wich is, as far as I know, one of the more expensive games, but only with a small bit.

For comparison:

- The Last Remnant: 8,190 Yen
- Resident Evil 5: 8,800 Yen
- Yakuza 3: 7,980 Yen
- Metal Gear Solid 4: 8,800 Yen
- Warriors Orochi Z: 7,560 Yen

- Final Fantasy XII: 8990 Yen
- Dragon Quest VIII: 9,240 Yen

more expensive than MGS4 , this is strange :S

Why don't the Japanese just have a standard price like the rest of the world?

probably hycked up the price to get back dev costs :) just joking

erm well it is more or less as well known as jakuza, well the sell about the same so it should have been sold for the same price of yakuza 3.

That being said good to them if they can make them part with the money.

Recovering for the losses for not having it on PS3 :P

Pricing Monopoly? Hmmm I wonder if they will charge 10K yen for FFXIII...

Yakuza 3 is cheaper, SO4 really just asking to have a new asshole ripped by the former game in Japan. This either has to do with demand for the game not being high so they need to sell the game at a high price or in infamous "SE tax".

Shaddup you and your on-track win to our bet... >_<

This can be the beginning of a whole new level of fanboyism!

-SO4 did not sold that well!
- That is because it is expensive!

Yeah, it probably will. There aren't that many PS3's out there, and most current owners will buy at a high price.
Imagine what a main Dragon Quest game on a HD console would cost!
