3 out of 4 of those is shit that was known when the game was announced and lol @ pre-ordering in the first place. The remaining point, about no overarching story, is just incorrect.

Good I don't like final Fantasy six. That game was overrated.

As for the price I was expecting it to be forty or fifty like the Tokyo RPG factory titles that said if the game has a fifty to sixty hour main game and lots of side material it would be worth the price. Looks are not everything.

A game that hasn't came out yet. Over hyped.

Now final fantasy six is the most loved final fantasy, even people who don't like the series tend to like it. Even myself who is one of the few people disappointed with the game admit it is well made and can see why people love it. Yet I do believe it's not as good as people claim. I am using the word correctly.

Its the kind of game that will probably get away with being $60 since its on the Switch. If it was a PC or PS4 game it wouldn't be able to sell for that much.

There is so much more competition on the PS4. The Switch is starved for 3rd party games. The 2D sprites mixed with the 3D environments makes it look like a cheap indie game, and personally I think its a horrible art style (its a shame the world isn't 2D). Like it or not, graphics are a big deal when selling to the masses.

Dumb reasons to cancel the pre-order.

The main one should be how the US boxart is just the title on a black background, so boring.

Honestly I am more willing to pay sixty bucks for a game like Octopath then a AAA game. With an AAA game I know that in six months for a year I will be able to get the game for cheap. With a title like Octopath it's more of a gamble, especially for the physical copy. It might be cheaper later or it might sky rocket in price later as the game becomes very hard to find.
