The base game for me at least is ¥9,790 (the prices of this differs depending on where you live in the world), and also CT is included in the price (which is 10%). That’s NOT the case for US gamers as you are NOT paying $69.99 as SALES TAX exists meaning you’re paying more than that, I wouldn’t be surprised if the same thing defaults at 79,99€.

No game is ever worth preordering.

  This preorder includes the new PC remake for Ace Combat Zero for free.
  
  The only scenario where I would consider it a positive value. A free game I would normally purchase anyway.

    Is it a free game if the pre-order is more expensive?

Pre-ordering digitally available games only helps publishers with their financial forecasting. The best case pre-order scenario for a consumer is "early access" by a few days, but that isn't benefiting the user as they run without day-1 patches and the whole concept isn't meant to help pre-order players just penalize non-pre-order players.

in general, don’t pre-order stuff. wait till it’s out and then judge wether you think it’s worth it.

especially a digital game. pre-ordering a physical product can make sense if you’re afraid it’s gonna be out of stock, that’s not a concern with digital games. please don’t pre-order.

  Is the deluxe edition overpriced? For me it’s ¥11,990 ($75): Image

    It’s $89.99 in the US for the Deluxe Edition.
    
    Also keep in mind the preorder comes with the PC remake of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. One of the three best AC games, only playable on PS2 or emulators, with mixed results. So basically you get two Ace Combat games for the price of one by preordering. It does not need to be the Deluxe version, just a preorder in general.

Game isn’t out yet, so how do we judge if the game is worth the price? Also never pre-order any game, especially if its digital. Why not wait until launch? Then you can watch reviews or read opinions and then decide if the game might be worth it? Also on Steam you can play the game up to 2 hours and have a time frame of 2 weeks to refund, if you don’t like the game (just don’t refund too often like that, as they don’t want you to abuse the service).

I don’t think anyone can give you an answer yet since the game has not officially released so no one has played to say whether it’s a good game or not, let alone if it’s worth the price they want.
