This game is a drug ! Fantastic combats !
How is the game like a "drug"
It's very addictive. ;-)
Does it also have an in-game encomy where people spend real money in it?
No.
That's good because after what someone told me about the game warframe. I was thinking that this game had something like that.
It's not a free to play or a Gatcha. It's 50€/$ game and that's it. Nothing to pay inside the game.
Glad that this game seems to be doing well, the reviews are pretty positive and studios like these should be encouraged to bring their games to the big(ger) screen.
Enough people are talking about this that it made my list. First FF 7, then probably Persona 3.
Its better on PS5, because this console is the Leadplatform and have some interesting controller-features. And the sales figures are stronger on PlayStation 5 - Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 and other jrpgs coming too, this winter. Great time =)
..........what? lol. You get everything on PC. Your sales figure comment isn't based on anything either lol. Just enjoy the games if it comes to your platform of choice. There's clearly an audience on PC. Stop advertising PS5 every chance you get.
So basicly highest ever for a JRPG since Monster Hunter games are action RPGs. Definitely did not see that coming (though to be fair most big JRPGs have come late to Steam in the past).
Yeah when Persona 4 Golden was first ported to PC, even Sega was surprised how successful it was. Probably played a big part in Sega fully going multiplatform. Both Yakuza Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload did fantastic on Steam.
I loved the co-op missions in the Demo, playing with friends. Like a streamlined Monster Hunter.
But I did NOT expect it to blow up like this. Very happy to see.
Square Enix doing some heavy breathing right now lol
