That sounds about right for normal overpriced digital content. When I saw the sale announcement, I was hoping for a great deal like they did for Little Big Planet Karting and some other stuff recently.

Exactly, that's why I was surprised by the $30 price point. PSN has done a pretty good job with fair pricing for their full-game digital content recently. I myself have bought LittleBigPlanet Karting and Unit 13 recently, and I am usually not one to buy full games digitally.

EDIT: Bought Two Worlds II as well.

Thanks to this sale I'm playing FF7 for the very first time.

$40 for everything is not bad at all.

Reminder that Kat & Emmett coming to PSN today, free for 2 weeks, will be $4.99 each after the 26th. Fearless stage is $1.99 if you wish to play it outside of Ranked Matches.

has there ever been a sale on Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross? I already own them on an account so i haven't been paying attention, but now i want them on my Vita account.

Also, does anything think there's ever a chance of remakes of these for portable systems like they often do?

Finally.


I wonder how many more characters we'll get, if any now that Sony broke up with Superbot.

At the moment, there's been no sale on them Trigger was on sale once last year (thanks to waldo21212 for the correction), though Cross hasn't, from what I remember. & Chrono Trigger had a DS remake a few years back that added some features along with all the stuff that the PS1 version added. No idea on Cross, though.

For those new to the Final Fantasy stuff like I am, thought I should point out that Dissidia is a fighting game, not an RPG like the others. I'm glad I played the demo available on the PSN network before purchasing it as I hate fighting games and thought it was another RPG.

Chrono Trigger was on sale last March as part of the Gamers Choice winners sale.

Speaking of which, that should (hopefully) be coming up for voting for 2013 soon.

it's not a traditional fighting game at all. You have limited moves, but everything that happens is guided by your stats and equipment, like an RPG. It's a unique game.

Quality moderation can easily fix this.

Absolutely true that the SSD isn't a great upgrade for the PS3. I didn't actually buy the one I have in there specifically for the PS3, I got it since it was cheap at the time. I installed it because I was already doing a system transfer and I was curious. After about 6 weeks, I didn't notice a huge difference so I swapped it out for a 500gb regular HDD. It was only then did I notice things were slower in certain games so I put it back in.

I hope there's still a lot more coming. I figured the game would have about a 32 character roster, so when it only released with 20 I figured we'd get around 12 more as DLC. I don't particularly love the DLC-model, but I think the game could use another 10 or so fighters, and I'd probably pick a few of them up, depending on who they are.

I have played the DS version of Chrono Trigger, and it is fine. The only thing purist might be unhappy with is the removal of Frog's Quasi-Shakespearian accent. I didn't care since I had never played it before, but some may. Personally I enjoyed Radiant Historia more, but I imagine for its time Chrono Trigger was quite a game.

Apparently there are two modes you can play in, which I wasn't clear on until I had watched a LOT of gameplay videos. There is an action mode where you take full control and fight like a fighting game and there is an RPG mode where the game fights for you according to what command you currently have selected: attack, move, defend, finisher so it becomes kinda like a real-time pokemon fight.

The DS version is perhaps the best, though the extra dungeon was rather "meh". However, the bonus of a map on the lower screen really helps.

Also, Persona 4 Arena is confirmed to be $29.99 on PSN when it hits later today.

For those new to Final Fantasy, resist buying more than one of these unless you own no other game and intend to buy no other game for quite some time. Otherwise your value purchase will be wasted.

Can't wait for the Draggle DLC so I can finally start Ni no Kuni

Yeah, CT ie probably my favorite RPG and I felt the DS version was the definitive version. All the anime cut scenes, none of the load times, plus extra content, and a bonus ending which somewhat links the game to Chrono Cross (don't worry, I won't spoil it).

I've been spoiled by some of the excellent PSN sales lately (like LittleBigPlanet Karting and the Winter deals) because I feel the whole bundle should've been like $17.50 or something. Oh well, still another solid PSN/PS+ week with Closure, Alien Breed, Ecolibrium, Critter Crunch and the PS All Stars DLC in my future.
