If the last guardian gets delayed, I sincerely dont know what I will do, but its nit going to be good.

Honestly I can't think of any games in the second half that interests me at this point other than TLG and FF15

if they delay them somehow I will be devastated

and even if they aren't delayed 2 games in 6 months is just sad :(

Wait what

Well, on the bright side - wait, there is no bright side

I was wrong damn, guess I shouldn't have trusted atlusprime
 
Oh well,February is not so bad,its slowly turning into the new November lol...still I find it strange that in 2016 some companies cant do worldwide releases and that it takes like 6 months between regions.

I can completely understand and accept delays for JRPGs.

It'd be nice if Pokemon and Final Fantasy weren't the exceptions but the norm...but I understand it.

Wait till October 2018 in Europe.

We don't even know if we will get at least a digital release of SMT Apocalypse in this territory.

All we need is TLG to get pushed to 2017, and we can officially call 2016 a bust.
 
hey

you know what is coming out in 2016
in America

For Fucks sake. And guys I can only stand reading the "welp there's so many games to play in Fall anyway lol!" denial posts for so many games before it breaks me.

Good news for FFXV, not as good news (for me) for Horizon: Zero Dawn. Waiting to February isn't that bad either. It'll also give me a chance to play SMTIV: Apocalypse.

Still no EU date... could be worse, could be the same or could be... sooner!

Probably worse...

Anyway with all the games coming out from here to February I'm ok with that, hoping this will be the REAL date.
 
Guess I might order the JP collectors edition after all. I was hoping we'd get all the 20th anniversary items like the 1-5 soundtracks.

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
5 months lol, localization in this day and age still taking way too long.

Well if you look at FFXV's localization i'd rather wait a few months before i get shit VA like that.

P4 had a fantastic voice cast, i hope P5 will be no different.

$80USD for the CE internationally shipped. What a score, thanks Amazon Prime. The CE will probably be like $200 locally, this is closer to the normal edition price.

Not the news I wanted to wake up to. Way to ruin my day first thing in the morning.

At least I can still look forward to SMTIV:A this year.

This hurts, but it's not unexpected. Frankly, as long as the Japanese version still comes out, then I can wait knowing that it actually exists.

Spoiler dodging is going to be a nightmare because I'm weak as hell to reading stray spoilers. ;_;

Delayed from 2014 to 2017. That's pretty embarrassing. I know we're supposed to have that Miyamoto way of thinking about delays, but, maybe devs should also stop making promises they can't keep. Like, I know shit happens, but, come on. 3 years.

I wonder if the "You'll see our attention to detail at E3" comment means that we will see our first English translation of Persona 5. I mean they have to right? It's a US show and they mention it as a reason for the 2017 delay.

Yeah i'm pretty sure we'll see our first english trailer at E3.

You know, maybe we wouldn't be seeing so many goddamn delays if devs didn't announce their games so early. I'll hand it to Bethesda; last year they announced Fallout 4, said a date, and stuck with it.

The thing I'm wondering is how the hell is this game delayed to 2017 because of localization? Like... has Atlus US been sitting on their asses for the past year or something? Like... I get that the JP version of the game isn't done or even out in JP but you'd think after the delays announced last year and things being pushed out, the game's script and shit would be translated and the coding to put the translations in would be already in progress. Like... What the fuck guys. We're not in 2005. Atlus, you actually fucked up.
 
this just hurts more because the genre is completely underrepresented in higher budget releases.

I'm still going to play Bravely Second (already own it), I Am Setsuna, world of final fantasy, and Trails of Cold Steel 2, but in the end its another year without a turn based RPG with some decent production values.

I wont be listening to the Eng dub of either game. They should do what Japan does for western AAA releases. Release a subbed version first in a limited run and then do a localized version later.

What are you expecting from a company that can't even release games at the same time in NA and EU although both versions are completely identical?
 
NA release dates
P4 Dec 2008
P5 Feb 2017
8 years 3 months

FF13 Mar 2010
FF15 Sep 2017
7 years 6 months

Shall I see you back here in 2024 for some P6 and FF16 hype?
