Maybe it has already been said but they said this on US PS Blog:
I cannot think of any possible thing they could say or show that would make me feel any better about the situation.
Dammit Atlus. At some point I'm going to hold you responsible for lying to us, like, continuously for years on end. Really, I swear! I totally will! You've been warned!
And this isn't the type of delay you'd have to announce on short notice, either. Saying in mid 2015 that it'd totally be 2015 including a gameplay trailer, then throwing that back 9+ months, then at 3 months out adding +6 for any international version? Come on guys. Just announce a bigger estimated delay the first time or don't give any timeframe at all.
Surprised they could go from such tight releases for the P4A games and then retrograde to this. And come on. Can't there be some way to release it in Europe? People want to buy it! There's got to be some company somewhere that wants to make money! At a tiny tiny silver lining, this will give tons of time to sort out how good the game actually is. If it's sub-par then Atlus will be costing itself millions in pre-order sales it won't receive in the West.
