Last Remnant for $40 (Amazon)

[demi]

I was gonna post this on evilbore.com temporary frontpage, but I didnt think anyone would care

Amazon has a Pre-Order Price Guarantee, so you will get it at that price. I ordered a copy. It comes with the gay bonus crud, too (which may or may not come, you know how that works)

wow, preparing for the bombing before the game even comes out. 

That's a new strategy.

your source is the dude that stands at the entrance to bestbuy, isn't it?

According to the guy at Best Buy,this is an Official price drop by Square. According to what dude told me, Square is revisting their pricing model in the US due to our shitty economy and love of shitty Wii games.

nah, I think they just aren't confident in the game.  10 days till launch and we don't know shit about it.

This makes no sense considering their DS games are $10 more expensive than other games.

Heck, at this price point their DS games now cost the same as their 360 games.

That'd be a Japanese pricing model, all right.

Eh, I'm all for supporting this strategy.  If they see that TLR sells a lot more than games like IU did, then they might start pricing more of their games lower to start with, maybe other companies will follow suit.  They don't need to do this with DS games because those sell like crazy either way, but RPGs have had uphill battles this gen.

Weekly Famitsu 10/10/9/9,interesting.

Famitsu scoring a game highly that has a massive ad campaign inside the very same issue. I'm Shocked!

Yeah, pretty much. They'll do whatever they can to not piss off Square/Enix, especially now that there are about a bajillion Final Fantasy variants coming out, all with big ad schemes in the main Famitsuu and the console specific ones. I liked when Dirge of Cerebus launched, and it was so bad the best that Famitsuu could manage was to wait three weeks after launch to cover it, and then give it solid 7's. 28/40, wasn't it?

Graphics are weak but this game actually sounds really fun. Combat is a bit different from your standard RPG, plus it's made by people from the SaGa team, so you know the mechanics will be a bit weird and unconventional.

Since Borys bumped this, the game went back up to $60 so if you didnt order you miss out
