Legend of Legaia Japanese Commercial

Post by LegaiaWiki » Sun Mar 11, 2012 8:39 pm

Just thought I'd direct you to a link showing what the commercial advertising LOL looked like in Japan. I don't understand any of what's said (save for the character for 'Mist' that pops up) but just thought it'd be some fun info to give.

What's funny is that in the commercial it lists the price for LOL as 5,800 yen, which is $71.06 in today's yen to US dollar exchange rate. Glad I got it in 2008 when it was $1.50 at the store I went to in Japan XD

Would you pay $71 for LOL? XD

I most certainly would pay $71 if I had to, but that's maybe not the best comparison. 5,800 yen may be 71.06 USD in today's currency exchange rate, but in 1999, the currency exchange was ~118 yen/dollar, which puts it at $49, which is the same price as any other new game was going to be.
Do not question yourself with the why or the how. I simply am, and that is all you need to know.

That was a horrible commercial, especially with all the spam flying past the screen, lol. I wouldn't have purchased it from THAT commercial XD

My eyes hurt X(

I love Legaia, but I wouldn't spend $71 bucks on it....on any game really

Except if the game kept coming out with DLC I just HAD to have

I think the most ive ever paid for it (as Ive owned 3 or 4 copies over the years) was roughly $40.... Although I may have spent more when it was new, not sure =/
