    Only official prices revealed so far have been in yen, and Japanese games tend to go for $20-40 more than identical US releases. Square US's CE's have been around $80 lately. That dragon figure does look to be a bit pricier than my Lightning Returns pocketwatch, though, so it may be a bit more, but I can't imagine it being by that much more. I'm wrong about a lot of stuff like that, though. Especially with this upcoming expansion.

    I suspect international pricing is under wraps until the 16th, but...

    Bayohne? Grekumah? You there?

    except one the stream they had both prices listed. not to mention that currently the dollar is worth more than yen.

    Ah, it was font so small I couldn't even see it on the thumbnail, but you're right. Thanks for pointing that out!

    But Japanese games are generally more expensive than American games, regardless of the strength of the yen, which is pretty much the only reason Nintendo clings to their region-locked consoles when competitors have gone region-free.
