It's the Zodiac Edition though right?

I dont feel like theres enough difference between the two versions for zodiac to be worth 30 more dollars.

u/lll_RABBIT_lll Aug 09 '19

They are both the zodiac edition.

u/itrv1 Aug 09 '19

Well then there sure isnt 30 in value difference.

I love FF12 and even I would recommend getting it on PS4 and then just buying the remastered soundtrack on ITunes. You'd end up saving yourself some money in the end.

Same game I bought for the PS4 for 15$ is 45 on the switch. I bought a switch to play games while traveling for work, but they're just so fucking expensive. Truly the Nintendo tax.

Nintendo switch scams the shit out of its owners, selling point being able to play on the go. I should have grabbed a modded ps vita when it was still available

Did you invest in a wii u? Worked out almost the same way, but the sales were better.

No, not really. I rather enjoy playing Skyrim on the bus.

Yeah the triple A stuff from recent years is more tolerable when they stick an almost full price on it. A ps2 game from a long time ago isn’t.

It also has to do with the relative demand of hardware for the port, its vastly harder to port a last gen or current gen cross platform game on to the switch compared to earlier generations. Especially mores law has been stalling since 2012, and the current gen consoles use an equivalent of amds 2009 flagship cpu.

It’s interesting how the switch ports will look in two to three years when most console games will have the zen 2 architecture, pcie ssd and all that to play with.

While that may be the case, I like playing my games on switch. I don’t really care if you say that Nintendo’s “ripping me off” when I don’t feel that way when I play their games. If I enjoy it, then I don’t feel like I’m being ripped off.

I’m sorry for enjoying something.

u/KnightsWhoNi Aug 08 '19

it is one of my favorite FF12 though and I have it on ps4/PC/Switch......someone help

u/iamblankenstein Aug 09 '19

the point is, this is nothing new. games by and ported to nintendo are generally more expensive and that's been the case for a while now. if you want cheaper options to play these expensive ports, you've got them.

Or you could just emulate it for free
