It's just not realistic.
They need to be called out for shit like this. They won't LIE to my face like Square Enix and Sony do to PlayStation fans all the time.

Why is Nintendo lying about Xenoblade 2 release date?

It's a target date...? Whether or not they'll be able to keep it, it's not a lie lol
Please present your evidence that says they're lying.
I think there are obvious reasons why everyone suspects it won't make this date, but nintendo has surprised us before. XBCX was shown off too early in that hail mary direct in january 2013, reveal trailer was super short, and big open JRPGs tend to get delayed often. I get it, but we don't know the number of people working on it, nor for how long they've been doing so. Hell, they even had some voice work in the trailer, no? That could be a sign that it's nearing the end of development.

Probably using the same PR company as Atlus.

We thought the same thing about Smash 4 and that didn't actually get delayed.
Who knows. It will be a pleasant surprise if it does come out

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I agree - no chance it releases in 2017.
Would love to be wrong, of course. But I won't be.

I imagine it could be out this year in Japan, but it is looking unlikely here.

I hope you are looking forward to the E3 trailer dubbed in Japanese. Hahahahahahaha.

It will be 2.5 years since Xenoblade Chronicles X in Japan by the end of 2017. I don't think that is unrealistic if they had a vision for what they wanted to make right away... which it seemed like they did.

Nobody really knows how far along in development the game is. It's not unreasonable to believe it makes it out by the end of the year.

What a ridiculous post. They've stated multiple times it'll be 2017 for both US and Japan. You don't know what state the game is in yet.

It doesn't even say "Holiday 2017" so I'm betting on a 2018 release. I guess they're being overly optimistic.

I'd love to know OP's inside information about which stage of development the game is and how much time it will take to complete

Nintendo's pretty gangster like that, they been stealing our games already so a lie means nothing to them.
That is not enough for a game of this size.

It's a target. I mean shit man, 2017 was the date they said XB2 was gonna be out at the conference. Until they acknowledge a delay, that's the year they're targeting.

Same reason they lie about Zelda release dates. They're overly optimistic and want to sell hardware.
It's okay, it'll probably be out in 2018. Give it time to be good.

what size pray tell
It's a target date and not a lie. Yes, things can change but it could also still happen.
They could be further along in development than we think too because they're likely reusing the XCX engine and tools they made for HD development so that could speed up the process compared to XCX's delays. They also showed more in the trailer than the early teasers we got for XCX as well.

Plus FE Warriors is coming out this year and that barely got a trailer compared to Xenoblade. It seems well along.

Is that a retailer listing or officially from Nintendo?
Even so it could be a target date, and for all we know the game has been in development for sometime and they're saving it for a stronger reveal later in the year. Especially if Monolith are working directly with one of Nintendo's internal studios, which is a growing trend.

I mean, I'm not saying it won't be delayed, but there's no reason to automatically assume it will be delayed when Nintendo has given no indication that it's behind a particular schedule.
