$50 for a 3DS game?

Ok. I hadn't realized Atlus has turned into Capcom now.

the price is probably just a placeholder by the retailer.

Even if it is $50, it's probably worth it.

Pretty cool how we're getting this so soon after the Japanese release. Hopefully we also get that "sound & art collection" bonus.

$50 is a reasonable price for how soon we're getting the game after Japan. I'm just very glad to see it coming here and would have even paid the full price of a console title for it!

Very excited that I'll be able to play this, this summer. Cannot wait to delve into it!

50 bucks for a 3DS game is asking a bit much.

Chances are the price is a place holder or that the game is massive and cost Atlus a bit more to localize. Either way I don't think it's that big a deal. Most Atlus games are so packed full of content a higher price doesn't really phase me.

I can't wait for this to come out. It seems my 3DS is the only thing giving my JRPG fix recent;y. Still playing the crap out of Fire Emblem.

I've never seen a $50 3DS game placeholder. Not even in a parallel universe.

Resident Evil Revelations had one. Actually, that was Capcom's intent to sell it at that price, but the fan backlash made them lower the price. Granted, that game was worth $50, but that's a different topic entirely.

The price is fine with me. The amount of content in it will probably pay for itself more so than even some console games that are $60 (like COD).

Except that wasn't a placeholder, that was the official price at the time.

Probably going to hold off on it until it drops or unless it really turns out to be that good. Are there any other $50 3DS games out there?

The higher price may also mean its a first-print LE with a soundtrack or art booklet like ATLUS does with alot of their other games. I guess we'll just have to wait for them to reveal more details.
