Square Enix Switch 2 Launch Title Scores A Limited-Time Discount

I picked the game up when I got my Switch 2 though not gotten around to doing a run through of it yet, and it'll probably be a bit since I'm just wrapping up a playthrough of Persona 3 Reload and not looking to run through another 100 hour RPG right now.

Have already played through the game before on the 3DS though and loved it. Super recommend it, had been meaning to replay it for awhile even before the port was announced.

The game has seen larger discounts already in retail. I'm still a bit on the fence about it. Seeing as I've already got plenty of long JRPGs in my backlog. But it's nice to see discounts like these!

@Pillowpants Yeah, I was surprised (and gratified) that there wasn't a bigger reduction. I got the physical ("physical" if you're being spicy) version for £19 from Amazon last month.

Still need to play through my 3DS copy. Will get there eventually. Slowly returning to games I brought a few years ago.

Is £22 physical on Amazon in the uk

Often can be found in uk for under 20 physical so not a great deal with the above.

Still don't get why they didn't release it on Switch 1...

$32 is still too high for a fake game when the original for the 3DS can now be bought for around $30 and is a legit game.

Really hope we get Bravely Second at some point 🤞

This reads like advertising lol

I’ll just follow my usual Digital Game Rule and buy once it’s less than £10, whether in store or on eShop; whichever gets there first.

It’s a Square Enix game, it should reach there eventually.

As far as I'm concerned, Square Enix has already provided a permanent discount, which I am grateful for. Game Key Cards result in no sale for me. (Full disclosure: I don't own a S2, and I don't plan on buying one. However, I may buy individual games in anticipation of a backwards-compatible S3)

It's a crying shame. I've purchased more Squeenix games than first- and second-party games at this point, I'm one of their prime customers (very much enjoying DQ I Remake so far). Still, I note that there are more proper, integral physical copies of new S2 games appearing as the weeks pass, so I suppose there's hope.

Key card and, of course, no 3D effect… Guess I’ll keep playing on my 3DS version… not that it’s such a masterpiece anyway… imo 😏

Release it as a regular physical and I will buy it.

I picked up the game key card on Amazon UK a month or so ago for about £19.

One of the best J-RPG I ever played, I recommand it to everyone that never touched it.

Did not touch the Switch 2 version, but I have great memories of this game, mainly the combat system which is deeply strategic, each boss forcing you to experiment and change your team composition to overcome it.

The ending is not the greatest, but the rest makes up for it completely.

I never beat this game on 3DS and, tbf, the asking price is not crazy but with my backlog I will wait for a steeper discount to jump.

I'll stick with my 3DS copy. I love how the 3D effect is handled in both it and Bravely Second. I am glad more people get the opportunity to try this game however. It isn't perfect, but I love the battle system, am not particularly bothered by the second half of the game (IYKYK), and enjoy the occasional 4th wall break in this series.

I DO still need to play the related in name only Bravely Default II on Switch though....

Yeah, I'm not sure a 20% discount qualifies as news. Once it's 50% off I'll probably pick it up.

I'm a massive JRPG fan, but selling this digital only slightly updated 13 year old 3DS game for this amount of money is not my cup of tea. At least release the game on a proper physical gamecard if you're planning to sell the game at this price.
Star Wars Outlaws I can understand, but don't tell me the memory on the SD Express card wasn't streaming/loading data quick enough for this game.

@Tyranexx I just bought bravely default and bravely second right before they announced the switch 2 version of bd.
lol
I'll stick with the 3ds copies for a while.

@ear_wig Yup. Sounds like Square Enix sponsored this article.

@MJF Enjoy! Bravely Second is my favorite of the two since it furthered the story and cast from the first game (along with new characters), had a beyond addictive mini-game (Chompcraft), and had a few mechanical improvements from the first game. They're decent JRPGs IMO. Not in my top favorites I'll admit, but I'd definitely revisit them again.

Got the 3ds version. Key cards killed this series for me

Just checked Best Buy and Target websites and it’s still normal price. Not sure where you guys are seeing a sale.

@Tyranexx I bought the first one back when it was new and barely played it - gotta jump back in.

@TigerJump98
And that the demo/prelude is included!

I'm boycotting Square Enix games until they release them in full, and not on game key cards.

Square is such a funny company. They promised multiplatform for all their games but then does this ***** or timed exclusives they probably gonna do FF7R part 3.

No way buying this on that ass key card. Hope I can get an actual version when it releases on other platforms.

It could be $5 and I won't support any company using game key cards.
