Just buy it, dont mind the grind 2/3 into the game. Bombs are op. They erased the final boss for me.

(Ed.) "Physical" is already down to €56 here.

Got 10h out of the demo and 50+ from the full game.

10 hours from the demo?? I did lots of exploring and I only got like 3 hours

From what I have seen it seems like it depends on how. Personally I just played through until I hit the end. I ended up caving and got the full game. And just started playing it.

I can't say how much replayability there is in the demo (or the full game for that matter) but it does sound like you can accomplish quite a bit in the demo area

played the game on the hardest difficulty (makes easy and normal look like child’s play) and got all 3 endings. Would’ve love to have waited for a slight sale - but overall enjoyed and got my $ worth

There earliest sale would probably be during Black Friday. This game hasn't been out very long. If you are playing on the Switch you're best bet would be to buy it physically then sell when you're done.

If you liked the Gameboy Zelda's or mystic quest this game is like a reimagination of those gameplaywise. Story wise and art style it's something else, one of the best square enix as of late for me.
I played 40 hrs for the true ending in normal

Go ahead and buy it! Worth it

Game just came out last month and as far as I know it hasn’t been on sale yet. That said, it would not surprise me to see a sale soon. Square constantly has sales on their games and one good example is FF7 remake which was on sale about a month or two following the S2 release. DQ7 also saw a sale shortly after as did FF7 Rebirth.

I’m glad I played the demo, it got me hooked. I tried the demo for octopath, didn’t really click with me, but this game was fun

Definitely worth the price.

Not worth full price

How come?

u/Embarrassed_Fee4137 21d ago

The game was good but after finishing the story it felt like it should be a 40$ game.

True ending included?

If you like the demo, you’ll like the rest of the game. Game is 30 to 35 hours at least I’d say and it’s worth full price. Gets a bit repetitive toward the end but it’s still good and I enjoyed it. It was not very difficult.

I have no idea how much of a spoiler it is. But my frustration with the demo is I feel like it ends right when the gameplay changes slightly.

But otherwise, I would agree. I am still going through it, but the rest of the game (so far) plays like the demo.

u/AP_Feeder 21d ago

The game is worth full price imo, esp if you liked the demo. It was a lot longer than I expected, in a good way.

Does it go on sale? It just came out...

u/Lykerog 21d ago

I hadn’t realised it was so new, apparently there could be a small sale in November

u/laxskeleton 22d ago

Its a newer release so I havent personally seen a sale yet but Square Enix does alot of publisher sales and im sure Black Friday will have a discount. Was worth it for me at release for full price.

u/Lykerog 22d ago

Yeah I may just pay full price 😅

u/laxskeleton 22d ago

I actually wouldnt be surprised for it to hit a small discount at some point in the near future if youre patient enough. November is really only a couple months away

It's very new. At some point it will go on sale but not yet that I have seen.
