Release date change works for me. I think they could use some more time to work on it- at least the battle system- based on E3. Real bummer about the multiplayer miscommunication though.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Fine with me. Gives the title some more time to stand out and breath once the big titles are out and done with.

 

[onemanasylum]

It's only a few months and Fall is packed, not a big deal.

 

[RSchmitz]

I´m glad there´s no multiplayer stuff.
Still bummed about no familiars though.

 

[mhayes86]

I'm fine with this. I'm excited for it since I loved the DS and PS3 games, but I have a few games planned for Fall already, so this will help space it out for me.

 

[Lucent]

Welp, one less fall title. I can't really complain though.

Yep. Already getting two in October (TEW2 and Mario Oddysey). Maybe one in November or December (Xenoblade Chronicles 2). I can wait.

 

[Uno Venova]

First one down, many more fall 2018 titles to come.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

A delayed game














is eventually good

 

[FallenGrace]

I'm grateful personally. Much better timing for me.

Same. This year is heavy as it is and I have yet to touch some bigger titles like Nier, Prey or Nioh.

 

[Koppai]

The last game was released in January 2011 if I recall correctly? It's fine with me.

 

[pablito]

Disappointed as that was what I was going to play during the holiday season. But I understand.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Smart delay, it should've never been a November game.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

All the people saying that this fall is packed.....what games am I not seeing? This November/Dec seems pretty barren to me. On PS4 anyway. There's the usual Assassin's Creed/Call of Duty/Need for Speed that you get almost every year, another Lego Marvel game, Battlefront 2, and......???? I'm not buying ANY of those, and none of them are directly competing with Ni no Kuni.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Now we wait for that Xenoblade 2 delay announcement....

Doubtful, as it's using the existing Xenoblade Chronicles X engine that was said was very easy to use for XBC2, and we've seen the game demo'd at E3.

For me The Evil Within 2, Destiny 2, Super Mario Oddysee, Wolfenstein 2, COD: WWII comes out around the same time this was going to come out. And I may not be finished with games from the past month such as Cuphead or FIFA 18 by then either.

 

[Spukc]

lol

 

[Lynx_7]

More time for me to play the first one. Thanks Level-5.

 

[kevin1025]

It's a little disappointing, but with all of the major games and the Xbox One X, I'm okay with it! January is the perfect month for this game, and it's only a two month wait, which is cool! It'll only make 2018 even better, and thrive in the start of the year.

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

Ah, see of those games I'm only getting Mario, the other ones are not to my taste at all (I only vaguely remember hearing about Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein) Fair enough though, people have different tastes and this Christmas can be barren to me and packed to you/others.

 

[arigato]

Oh thank God

Much better release date

Agreed, I'm glad this game got delayed as this gives them more time to polish up everything.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Neat so I can get Xenoblade and this and start playing them asap.

October alone for me consists of:

Culdcept Revolt
Mario & Luigi: SS + BM
South Park: TFBW
Assassin's Creed: Origins
Super Mario Odyssey
Wolfenstein II
Nights of Azure 2

And September is an even worse onslaught.

 

[higemaru]

Probably a good thing to delay it since it won't get squeezed during the holiday season now. I like how January is becoming the month to release niche Japanese games. Hopefully Xenoblade 2 doesn't get delayed now.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

The last game was released in January 2011 if I recall correctly? It's fine with me.

It came out in the west in January 2013.

 

[Mudo]

Just popping in with my feelings on this:

=(


It feels like this game is taking a VERY long time to get completed. I hope there aren't any giant problems happening internally. Can't wait for this game. In the end, I want it to be the best it can be, but the wait is tough...

 

[Give War A Chance]

Maybe this will help it not get buried in the holiday scrum? Bummer for me, but I'll still be ready to play it in Jan.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Good. January date worked out well for the first game and that's one less JRPG I need to juggle in Q4. Net positive as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Staf]

That's fine. I can wait.

 

[i-Jest]

To much is coming this fall so I'm fine with this news.

 

[BriGuy]

Probably for the best, because it was being sent out to die otherwise. Delaying it until February or March might be even smarter.

 

[eXistor]

Thank god, too many games this year as it is, I really didn't have a spot free for another 60 hour rpg. I know I can buy the game whenever I want, but that's not how it works with me.

 

[GasProblem]

All I'll be playing this year is Destiny 2 and CoD WWII, so I'm fine with this delay.

 

[Jake2by4]

Motherfuckers.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Now we wait for that Xenoblade 2 delay announcement....

They've been talking constantly about how smooth development has been for the game compared to X which was the big base for Monolith Soft's HD development. It's probably not going to be delayed for once.

 

[Sizzel]

boo to the delay.. YAY to the no MP.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Evan Pettywhisker Tildrum's not best pleased ➟

Namdai probably need a few more months to update the English website with E3 media.

 

[Goldenhen]

Wow so glad I didn't made 2 weeks annual leave on previous launch day.

 

[Axass]

And so the great delay-a-thon begins. I wonder who's next.

 

[LordofPwn]

Yeah that new date sounds a lot better. Early birthday gift for me.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Got too much other shit to play, I'm cool with this.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Good. Don't make the gravity rush 2 and tlg mistake

 

[Koutsoubas]

2018 along with the release of Kingdom Heaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa

 

[themagicalkitsune]

Yess my obvious Nostradamus powers are right yet again.

Noooooooo ;_;

What? No

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I mean, supposing that y'all care enough about the game to follow its development news, are you really that surprised after this?

 

[t26]

Good. Don't make the gravity rush 2 and tlg mistake

Gravity rush 2 was released in janruary

 

[True Fire]

2017 established Q1 as the de facto JRPG release season. It's a good date for NnK2.

 

[The Last One]

Doubtful, as it's using the existing Xenoblade Chronicles X engine that was said was very easy to use for XBC2, and we've seen the game demo'd at E3.

You could switch Xenoblade for Ni no Kuni in your post and it would still makes sense lol

Not saying XB will be delayed, just that this is the exact same situation for Ni no Kuni II.

 

[Steroyd]

Oh thank god, I was never getting this in November now I'll probably get it in January.

 

[Sesha]

Not surprised. Smart of them

 

[Akzel]

Good.. too much game to play anyway. So where is my Ni No Kuni Remastered for PS4?

 

[Velcro Fly]

Day after my birthday.
