I can’t see myself paying £60 for games that came out on ps2 which were then remastered and rereleased in 2014. Too little too late in this case :’(

Welcome to the current state of Square Enix.

I know it's not the same, but it gives off similar energy as Sony RE releasing all the previous Spider-Man movies to theaters because Madame Web flopped so hard.

If only it was just SE that's loke this...

I agree full price is steep, but to be fair 1.5/2.5 is like 4 or 5 different games (plus a few cinematic movies for lore from the obscure handheld games) in one and the remasters are actually really well done and add a bunch of content. I don't know how they perform on PC though since it's a Square port.

Ditto. If these were FFVII-style remakes, sure... but for a two-decade old franchise whose last release was half a decade ago... I'd consider $20.

£20 for the complete collection then maybe we’ll talk lmao

The stories already fucky enough as it is in Kingdom Hearts, without doing a FF7 remake to it and releasing each game in chunks for a total cost of 200+ bucks for each game.

Just wishlist and wait for Steam sale.
