This is just appalling

[JunseiKei]

I am not arguing for Square Enix, I simply arguing from a business perspective. Put simply, companies will charge whatever they can reasonably get away with. No amount of complaining on the forums will change that, especially because it's unlikely Yoshida or the dev team mandating Mogstation prices. All that will influence Square Enix's decision is sales. If you deem it too expensive, don't buy it. If enough people agree, the price may be lowered.

(Day 2 of Frankfurt Cleeng Live Letter, 38:38)

From how it was phrased in another question in Live Letter and other instances, Yoshida is not involved in the Mogstation at all.
