The price of the game is going to be well worth it, so I don't see the problem.

Youuuu may not see the problem and I for one dont either because im sure its a fantastic game, however majority of NA definately will see a problem.  'Demand more while paying less' is their moto XD

Well...

I for one, wont' be paying over 65$ for it.... [including tax]



4 ≈ One

It's only slightly more expensive for the Japanese standard, Amazon will probably offer a discount from day 1 like they usually do.
For comparison, game prices in the euro zone are roughly $85 RRP.



Wish I could understand Japanese. Spring 2010 NA release I'm a-waiting.

Wow... SE sure is Arrogant...

SE 2005: We are going to take 3 years to make this game and it will be on for sure.

SE 2006: Eveythings doing fine we may have it out next year!

SE 2007: Not coming this year but dont worry 2008 is the year eveyone will enjoy the best RPG ever made this gen of gaming!

SE 2008: Oh-- ya' know wut? how bout' we give Xbox 360 owners a chance to play FFXIII to? ya-ya sounds great just one moar year 4 porting please! (Excuse.)

SE 2009 (Presnt Day.): ITS REALLY ALMOST HERE FF Fans! But you gotta pay twice as much for a normal edition in our home country because we know you love our final fantasies so much j00 true fans won't mind much rite?

/end SE's FFXIII Crusade

Really though to bad for the japanese doods, this a rip even for a FF game thats taken its sweet time to be done with and made already.

If this happens to the UK/EU/NA i wonder what everone will think about it?

Everyone will suck it up and fork over the money. SE are nothing if not shrewd businessmen (and women)

If it's a hundred bucks I'd still pay for it.

Here's my theory about a game prices. Basically I pay a dollar an hour. So if I buy a game for 60 bucks, then I'm going to be sure to try and get 60 hours in it. So with Final Fantasy XIII I can image I'll get well over a 100 hours in it so it'd defintiely be worth the price.

funny guy, but its true; this game shouldve been out already



Aren't most new games $84 in Japan...?



Battlefield Bad Company 2 > Modern Warfare 2

GTA IV in portugal was 75 euros... 107.2725 dollars -.-



$89 must be for a limited edition of the game. $89 for a standard edition is way too much money to pay for a game.
The Americans would not accept these escalated prices.
