shane3x Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Here are a few price scenarios I see. Buying 1 version at retail. You go pay your $60 for whatever version, when you choose to download the other 2 campaigns: You get a discount of sorts. Either as a bundle or individually. There is no discount and its $60 per campaign ($180 total). I doubt anyone is going to buy both versions physically, we don't even know if the save data and game information will be shared between the game or if thats even possible or if its solely download all 3 or buy 1 physically but rest must be downloaded if you want save/game info to be shared amongst those campaigns. Unlike Pokemon, the versions don't matter. The content between versions is so minimally different and it provides ways of freely accessing the other content you dont get in this version. However these are completely different games set within the same story and its mechanics and features are interconnected heavily so I cant help but feel that if there isnt some kind of discount for getting all 3 that it's a little bit much.

Ciarre Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 from Kirokan's translation I highly doubt it would be full price for each version. That's ridiculous. I think they said you could download the path you didn't choose for 50% retail price or something like that, but I'm not exactly sure.

Soapbar Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I think it was confirmed some time ago that you get locked out of one path, and then can pay for the other path for 20 buckaroos. The game costs 40 dollars base (One path) so I'd say it's a good pricing model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 ...I haven't bought a 3DS game in a while, but aren't 3DS games generally $40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vineron Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Yup, so if the pricing remains relatively similar I think it adds up to $60 for both sides, and $80 for all 3 paths? No 3DS game is $60, that's consoles and there's no way they would sell a single path for $60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did you mean the versions in Pokemon don't matter? I just wanted to clarify since your wording was kinda confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakaion Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) ...I haven't bought a 3DS game in a while, but aren't 3DS games generally $40? In the US, yeah. In my region of Canada, they're about $50... plus about $7 in tax on top of that... It's quite unfortunate.

Neoleo21 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 3DS games are usually $40. Nintendo would absolutely insane if there isn't a discount for getting one version. I hope they go the mario golf route personally though. The initial game is cheaper and the dlc is half price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geek Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Don't you get a discount on the second version if you already bought the first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Don't you get a discount on the second version if you already bought the first? In Japan, yes. It's very likely it'll be like that elsewhere, but I will say it is unwise to assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nordopolica Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 At least you don't live in Australia. I don't either. $60 for a new 3ds game, after a few months it goes down to around $49. If the additional routes are half priced it'll end up being $120, but knowing the Good Ol' Aussie gaming economy, it won't be half priced.

We have no idea how pricing is going to go over here. I'd assume 40 USD per route at most, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluCommander Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Well in America at least it is going to be 40$ for the base game, in whichever path you choose.In Japan the extra paths are going for 2000 yen, which ends up being a little over 16$ when converted to USD. My guess is that each dlc path will go for an additional 20$, but it is also possible that they could lower it to 15$. I don't see the price going any higher than 20$ though.

cnkern Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 i think its gonna be $40 then $15 for each other path Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It will not cost another 40 clams to get the other paths. That would be horribly poor business practice on Nintendo's part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eveangaline Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I can stomach 15 bucks for the other paths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane3x Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 $60 is the price here in Aus. Its good that there seems to be some discount for getting the other path, I assume the DLC 3rd path will be roughly half price of the retail release price? Also am I misinterpreting what you're saying here, saying that the FE versions don't matter? Or did you mean the versions in Pokemon don't matter? I just wanted to clarify since your wording was kinda confusing. Versions of pokemon don't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPGatWill Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I think the best way would be to release Fire Emblem Fates as three versions. The Nohr and Hoshido path, for those people, and just as many of a combined version for people who want to experience both. The third one would have to be $60 rather than the $40, but if you got both paths out of it I don't think people would mind as much. OR a special edition with all three paths included (Depending on if they translate it quick enough or give you a download code) for like... $70~80. Again, I don't know how many people would go for it, but I know it'd be more than we think. I know I would buy one right away if they announced it. Sucks pricing is so much worse in Australia and Canada. Especially Australia. Hope you guys get in better standing there at some point.
