And on a $70 game too. 7 was alright until huge spiking difficulty toward the end that drove me insane, and only particular character/job combos were good. And I only got it after a while, at a low sale price. This isn't looking good.
I loved 7 but yea… they needed to bring some love to most other classes. End game and post game ended up spam special skills and space laser to win. I was looking forward to this one but after the voice acting BS, the increase in price, and now this… 75% sale or nothing.
This I feared would become the prominent financial model for gaming - an access fee and a subscription fee where both must be satisfied to allow you a licence to play the game.
It's also being slowly rolled out to other digital mediums and physical products too on the basis that inventors and creators should be continually paid for the "value" a product or service provides to an individual plus the control as to what happens to a product should exclusively be in the hands of the creator or inventor, not the consumer. Which means that the game developer can cut off access when they feel like it and implement planned obsolescence in order to get you to upgrade and pay more or merely because it doesn't make enough money any more.

Voice acting BS? You talking about YongYea in Gaiden?
Wankers.
(This is a pun btw, see if you can figure out why.)

The only games you should play now-a-days are games that train your reflexes and problem-solving skills. Yakuza franchise was always trash.
Sandbox games are a blight on humanity.
