Aniplex and their overpriced products
$60 for a blu-ray movie.. and i thought $20-$25 for a new blu-ray movie was already pushing it.. given blu-ray had been around since 2006.. |

Still think $5 for FES on PSN versus $60 for an import of just an okay trimmed down adaptation of a part of it is the way better deal. Looka like someone is still counting on people to not understand the concept of value and never changing their pricing for their "superior products".

The same thing can be said about video games. I see that price being justified if all 3 movies were bundled together. |

I bought the Persona 3 video game near the end of its shelf life for about $20. And I enjoyed the game way more than I enjoyed the first movie (which is the only one I've seen so far). |

Also not to mention
Persona 3 the movie:90 minutes Persona 3 the game: 90 hours. |

Remember folks, this is also the Japanese release. Did anybody expect the price to be any different from the first two movies, or are people just using the news to grouse about AoA's pricing yet again?

that's one aspect of it.. but it can vary by the individual what was that PS4 game? that quite a few complained about being short ?... ah! the Order 1886 it's about 6 hours? $60+ tax for a 5-6 hour game.. personally, i don't see any movie out there worth $60.. even if it's in 4K or 8k or whatever crap they are coming out next.. $50-60 for a game is the norm for a long time now.. so people accepted it new blu-ray movie releases are around $25-$30 each and that's including dvd, blu-ray and digital!! while aniplex charged 2x as much..some with no english dub either.. :/ i'm trying to introduce Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill series to a friend.. but there's no way he is willing to pay Aniplex price for the whole series..
3? i think they are turning it into a 4 part movie series.. FES on the PSN for $5 is probably the best price (a steal!) if anyone out there paying $60 a movie x4.. $240+ tax? might as well buy some used psp and the game from psn and play it yourself.. and still have some money left over Last edited by AnimeAddict2014 on Sun Sep 06, 2015 3:00 am; edited 2 times in total |

It's worse than that.
That same disc can be procured from cdjapan and amiami for ~$67/$50 and ~$62/$46, respectively. What's the point of getting it from Aniplex for that much more? As a single movie, shipping costs aren't exactly a deal breaker here either... |

The Persona 3 movies cost that much or more in Japan... Without subs. That's Japanese pricing.
Also, if you were a big fan of Persona 3, you would enjoy the movies. They're a completely different experience from the games, and have different content from them. Especially the third movie... Which was not the best movie, absolutely not. But if you're a fan, you probably will enjoy these movies. Saying to play the game instead is like saying "Gintama DVDs costing 40 bucks? Better to just read the manga." It's a completely different medium with its own merits. |

Even though I hate Aniplex's pricing like everyone else I would buy these if they rerelease these with an English dub using the same cast from the game. Persona 3 is one of my favorite games of all time and I wanna watch it in anime form.

While I don't follow the series, I see that pricing justified if it was dubbed and bundled with the other movies.

Sorry, but that's a bit wrong. If it's labeled import logic dictates the original discs will have subs already as it's the one Aniplex will be offering over here. If it was an original pressing for overseas edition, in order to include subs on the discs, it wouldn't be import anymore... Also, wrong about the pricing as well. It's actually cheaper on the Japanese side, as you can see if you read my post before yours. |

I really hope we get a dub of these films once all four are out. I'm still pretty pissed off about Aniplex skipping out on a dub for Persona 4 Golden.

I shamefully would buy these movies at these prices if they included an English dubbed version. Persona 3 is one of my all time favorite games, and I adore the English dub cast (with the exception of Fuuka's first voice of course. Thank the heavens for Wendee Lee coming in to save the character.)
With that said- is there any certainty we're getting a dub at all? |
