Toominator 916 Posted September 15, 2015 Following the announcement that Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will be released in 2016 for the PlayStation 4, several retailers have put the game up for pre-order. It is listed as a full-price title ($59.99) with a placeholder date of 2016. Links to retailers with pre-orders available as well as a mock-up of the box art can be found below: Play-Asia (Japanese Version) Square Enix's North American online store Gamestop Amazon Play-Asia (North American Version) Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will contain three titles: an HD remaster of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts X[chi] Back Cover, an HD cinematic that tells more about the story of the Foretellers, and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage-, which is a playable episode that follows Aqua after the events of Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep.

2 quid is good 2,209 Posted September 15, 2015 Oh yeah, definitely pre ordering! Pre ordered KH 1.5 and went to pick it up a week after release date. Mine was the only copy left in the whole store Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sorarocks93 678 Posted September 15, 2015 59.99? That's weird. I guess it's because X Back Cover is technically a new thing? And this makes me wonder just how long will the 0.2 BBS is going to be. 1 Exiblade7 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ven983 490 Posted September 15, 2015 I will wait till Amazon puts it up, and I will definitely be upgrading to a collectors edition should one be made. I love that they didn't even need to announce that it would be released outside Japan, it helps take the worry off the fans and gives these announcements a much more global feel.

Green Sparrow 795 Posted September 15, 2015 I'm really excited for this game, but... 60 bucks? I'm sorry. Though this is really cool, I wouldn't say it is equal to $60. I'm going to need another trailer or two to convince me (D23 A GO GO!!!). 1 Kingdomhe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gwynbleidd 551 Posted September 15, 2015 £40 is a fair enough price in the UK, to be honest. That box art is looking fresh. I know it isn't final, but it looks neat. 2 2 quid is good and Bewilde reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to think of the pricing like this: A game like MGSV: Ground Zeroes was $40. So, let's chalk up $40 for BBS 0.2. Then, DDD released at $40 on the 3DS, so there's another $40. Then KHX Back Cover, which is kind of like a free movie. So, a full price isn't too bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A game like that is worth $5. Like Dead Rising: Case Zero. $60/£40 sounds a bit much currently, unless they show or say that KH0.2 is longer and more substantial. Even with DDDHD and X: Back Cover. 1 Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jermaine 79 Posted September 15, 2015 Excuse me.... seems a bit pricey. Square knowing that they will milk money out of people like me, with their fancy names, .... Or maybe .2 is more than we think it is 1 Exiblade7 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlankShell 638 Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) I'll wait for a collector's edition announcement (you know it's coming since the 2.5 one did gangbusters) but full price, eh? I mean, 0.2 and Back Cover are entirely new, more or less, so it makes sense. Edited September 15, 2015 by BlankShell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted September 15, 2015 Yep, called it. Full price for a remake of a 3 year old 3DS game, a movie, and what will probably just be a short demo-type game judging from the description calling 0.2 a "playable episode." $60 seems like too much for this.

Isamu Kuno 2,512 Posted September 15, 2015 I see you added 2.8 to the banner, are guys (whoever is in charge of that kind of thing) going to add 0.2 as well? I know it's unnecessary but just for the hell of it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elast0 147 Posted September 15, 2015 If I wasn't sure before then I sure am now. Not getting this. $60 is way too much for a game I have already played, a short movie and a small episode. I'll stick to Youtube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kingdomhe 1,362 Posted September 16, 2015 man games are high. i have to get $400 for a ps4 and now $60 for 2.8...... why do i have the feeling thats going to be the same price for KH3. $400+ $60 + $60 = R.I.P wallet T_T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. Most of us here already own 3D, and X:BC will inevitably be uploaded to youtube within a week of release. The "playable episode" pretty much confirms it's our Ground Zeroes; not that I'm still a bit envious I won't be able to play it, but it's probably going to have, what, an hour or two of gameplay? $60 is definitely overcharging things; but what can I say, it's Square. 1 Shulk reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghjklbnm 7 Posted September 16, 2015 My guess is it's the same excuse for Type-0 HD, it's on the new-gen consoles. Is it bull? Maybe, probably. But at this point it's what should be expected of SE. These are the same people that priced a mobile port of FF at twenty dollars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
