Surely there's a point where the loss of sales due to a high entry cost will outweigh the income from their existing install base, or something like that. They'll just see PS Plus dwindle. They've had great sales of PS5 already so they might be able to gamble on a higher price for the remainder of its life cycle. But they'll want people to make the jump to PS6 as quickly as possible. 800+ cost will just kill any momentum.
This ups the replayablity for me. Didn't realise all the remasters had this in too, makes me wanna go back and play all the FF I haven't played before!
@TheFakulty totally agree. I think if they did something like square has done with FFXIV online, where they updated the campaigns so that you can solo them with a NPC team, they'd gain loads of players.
I'm generally a solo/offline player but I played a lot of Destiny 1 and 2 and really enjoyed it. But they lost me because they lock the conclusion of every story behind a raid (never got into them) and then locked me out of content that I really enjoyed. Still shocks me that I can't put the Destiny 2 disc in my PS5 and play the original campaign. It was so good, and now it's gone apparently 🤷
Ffviii was my first and still my favourite (probably just nostalgia 😅). Hated X when it came out. Replayed it for the first time last year and loved it. Think I got over the linear design.

Maybe this has already been said, but this game is a perfect fit to be a headline PS Plus game to get a few more players on board 🤷
