Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.

  The dlc listed has a higher combined cost than the game even as well lol. All this seems particularly egregious for a remake of a 20 year old game.

    I don’t know why they thought they could get away with these prices. I’ve never even heard of this game before.

    If the total cost was $20 and the dlc was included, I’d consider it…maybe

      But DUDE, it’s for the PC what Final Fantasy 7 was for the PS1!

      You HAVE to buy it RIGHT NOW!

        If it was, we all would have heard about it. Everyone says they are the ffvii of blablabla.

    A lot of it reads as lazy DLC meant to satisfy investors that want “value-adds” without taking a lot of development time. I’d imagine only obsessive fans (admittedly, there are many) would be considering them.

    But the fact that it’s a remake of a 20 year old game doesn’t seem like it would affect the value. For reference, the old one was top down with prerendered chibi sprites. The new one is fully 3D with voice acting. It’s a pretty sizable change in appearance, even how the combat functions. $60 is probably normal, though it makes sense that for anyone unsure about it, either play the demo or just wait for it to go on sale.
