After receiving Apple’s approval, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions will be out on Thursday, as expected — and it’ll be priced rather highly as far as iPhone/iPod Touch games goes.
A post on Facebook (via MTV Multiplayer) reveals the game will be out on August 4 for $15.99 in the U.S. (1,800 yen in Japan, or 12.99 Euros in Europe).
That’s quite the premium for a game on the App Store, where the large majority of games are sold for $0.99. As of this writing, the first ten games in the ‘top paid’ category are $0.99, and only two games in the top 50 cost $2.99 or more: Plants vs. Zombies ($2.99) and Call of Duty: Zombies ($4.99). It’s not until you can get into the 150 range that you can even find apps close in price ($9.99), and neither of those — MLB.com At Bat 11 (#151) and Pages (#158) — are games.
