It’s a relatively brief experience, consisting of nine chapters of one or two races apiece, all framed by a very silly story that’s presented as a stage play. Polygon has reached out to Square Enix for additional comment on the Prize Pass, the microtransactions, and player reactions to both.The story mode is likely where most Chocobo GP players will start, as completing it is key to unlocking tracks and characters in the rest of the game. “Watching Squall and Cloud are being relegated to a Season Pass and/or Gil purchases have downright let my enjoyment down,” wrote Destructoid, “because these pivotal cast members should just be in the game with no strings attached.” The review called for the abolition of the prize pass and a price reduction to make the game “much more attractive”. But its intent was still clear to some reviewers. Kotaku noted on Friday that this real money Mythril economy was not in the game when reviewers played it. “You need the content or the brand to do it, ideally both. “I wonder how long it takes Square Enix to learn that just because games like… Lot 2, Call of Duty and FIFA can double-dip, but that doesn’t mean they can do the same with their lower budget games,” another player wrote on Friday. Obviously Square Enix wants players to acquire and spend that Mythril even if they don’t want anything to buy it. Furthermore, the 800 Mythril you get back from the Prize Pass will expire if you don’t use it within five months. While the first season is functionally free, once players log in, returning players still need to purchase 800 Mythril, which is usually $10 for 1,000 in the currency.Ī launch promotion is giving away 1,600 for $8, but that’s basically just $2 off if you’re just entering to unlock stuff in the prize pass. It runs 800 Mythril and, to be fair, some premium games also sell a battle pass. There is also the issue of the price of the Prize Pass itself. One tweeted that, after playing online for an hour in Chocobo GPhe won a tournament but was only level 7 – barely a tenth of the way to level 60 and the ultimate reward, a playable Cloud Strife. Progress through the game’s prize pass also feels slow and stingy according to some players. For example, am I paying for a $50 game or a mobile f2p game?” † booted the game, was immediately greeted with ingame currency that you buy with mtx,” said a redditor, “battle pass to get rewards with two levels, and the whole design that makes it feel like my nintendo switch is a phone. Players have to keep track of Gil and tickets, which they earn by playing the game, and then there’s Mythril, which is only available with real money. While racers and levels are unlockable, karts, outfits, and other items must be purchased from various stores using more than one in-game currency. †It’s basically the same currency systems we see in gacha games, except it’s all for little carts that need tweaking.” As for the rest of the game, “everything is” around buyable season passes, despite being a paid game,” wrote one player on the Final Fantasy subreddit. Choose a chocobo or Final Fantasy character, race along a track and increase your speed or take out your rivals with power-ups and magical spells.
Outraged Final Fantasy fans who paid for the freight say they feel duped, and those who even play the free, “lite” version available on Nintendo Switch say the whole thing feels like something you put on your hands. If you are interested in chocolate chip general practitioner, a full-price $50 kart racer that launched Thursday, first realizes that the game is riddled with microtransactions and upsells in it.
