Demo was crap, why can't they just make a decent final fantasy with an old battle system, ff12's battlesystem was great​, make one like that.

Decent price,a few pennies cheaper at base for what it's worth, (which I had pre-ordered but now cancelled)
Think I'll play the waiting game for a change

Brilliant price for a AAA game these days (which is sad I know).

Heat from me.

Wish other publishers would price their games like Square does. Heat.

Been same price for last month

I have no idea what day one means. Is this worth something or does day one just mean "mugs who bought the incomplete version initially"?

Hope this game is better than the rubbish demoes...

if any game you are going to get your moneys worth this is certainly it.

won it for free of simplygames

​its one the strongest weapons in FF plus alot of people want it cause it was Sephiroths sword

played and completed it. load of rubbish.

You'd be happy paying £100 for this game then, in terms of your golden rule? :confused:

It's been a very long time since FF games were any good, I downloaded the Demo but couldn't even muster up the effort to try it after watching gameplay videos.

Looks like they're shoehorning the same combat mechanics in to the FF7 remake too. How a game developer can be so out of touch with it's fanbase is totally beyond me.

Heat for the price but I'll be avoiding this.

That's a ridiculous golden rule

Do simplygames take payment on dispatch or do they take payment now? Please can anyone confirm. Thanks

do they send signed for ?

A publisher can control the price of their games. This is why you will see certain publishers with more expensive and fewer price drops than other publishers.

No, they can suggest an RRP, but at the end of the day retailers set prices in the UK.

Sure...if you live in a world where price fixing does not exist. There is no coincidence that certain publishers games are consistently higher than other publishers regardless of their quality, print or sales numbers.

I used to work in games retail. If publishers set the prices there needs to be a buy back system, like there is in the USA. That would mean a fixed price across different retailers. How do you think the supermarkets or online retailers undercut each other? Do you think they're all individually ringing up SE asking if they can knock a quid off??

The UK (and most of Europe to my knowledge) take the games from publishers on credit, usually (in particularly with Square Enix) based on the publishers own "projected sales figures". SE are particularly unrealistic with these (see the sales numbers for games they feel have "under performed") as a result retailers will likely have decided to price their games competitively in the hope that they're not stuck with surplus copies after the release window.

You get companies like Nintendo, Atlus or some smaller niche publishers that keep their ship numbers (the amount of copies they send to retailers at a time) conservative, as a result you'll see the price drop a lot slower than on something retailers have been strong armed into taking on like; 'Tomb Raider'; 'Hitman: Absolution' or 'Final Fantasy: Type 0', because the publisher has threatened to withhold the next big release.

All this was true as of the mid 2000s, but I don't think anything has really changed. Publishers don't want it to. If they ship 10,000 copies of 'super RPG 91' and the retailer's only sold 6000 copies, the publisher has still been paid for 10,000 copies. This is why you often see "shipped" numbers being reported at share holder meetings, rather than "sell through". To the publishers; shipped = money in the bank, to a certain extent they care very little about the excess sitting on store shelves, stock rooms or the bargain bin for 99p.

Extra info:

Simplygames are known to occasionally deliver pre-ordered stuff early. I got Batman Arkham knight 6 days before release and a youtuber got No Mans Sky 4 days early. Not sure if its a SimplyGames thing but hey it could happen again.

​​​​Thought recent ff's have crap sales? if appealing to the new crowd means making a crap battle system then thats a wrong decision, they should use a system that works.

I'm also disgusted that ff7 remake is going to be the crappy ff15 battlesystem, unless they have changed it recently.

Seriously can't wait for 12 remaster though.

38.85 now
