That actually depended on where you lived, in Japan it was 6800Y new if I'm not mistaken, which wasn't cheap, it was a pretty normal high price.
They did try to ride the X-2 hype more in the west I guess.
In hindsight, that wasn't really a good strategy to promote and sell your own game though, ZOE did the same with Metal Gear and it kinda bombed, how many games that got demos with other games actually sold well back in the days?

Use magic Afendi, you hear?
Don't neglect your magic users or you're going to eat shit very, very fast.

Small Scarlet Grace parenthesys, I've been putting off magic for most of the game since I still don't completely understand how Flux works, seems pretty doable to do a no magic run in this game, I've got to Firebringer already but he's insane and I skipped parts of the story anyway, so I'll go back to him later, his themes rock hard and the battle is something really, really surprising mechanic wise, I'd never imagined something like this not even in my wildest dreams.
Magic is pretty strong here though, Thunderbringer is obscenely strong, strongest single/Multi target spell I've found so far, Crimson Nova is not as good as the other games but it's real cheap, Tower is weird, it's hard to use it properly, I guess it can shine at maxed rank though.
There's a few new spells too, Holy Grail is the only spell that can restore KO'd characters, and you can only use that as opposed to the older way of simply using any healing item or spells, one other spell lowers casting time, I wonder if there's something like Overdrive.
