October 10 release date all platforms.

Finally.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

all platforms is misleading

Where are you seeing Oct 10?

PS4 and Vita for those that don't want to watch the video.

Where are you seeing Oct 10?

I've also seen the release date as Oct 10:

Great game. Sadly, might be the last Summon Night title seeing as it performed significantly worse than 1-4, and even 5

A real shame, it's one of my favourite universes.

Amazon currently list it as October 10th.

 

[Saphirax]

It’s a placeholder. It certainly could release on October 10 but we have no official date yet.

 

[Slayven]

Octuber too stacked

 

[Heretic Kazuma]

Damn. I'm looking forward to playing this, but agreed—October is stacked enough as it is.

Really? I heard it is the best one

 

[cj_iwakura]

Looks like he left the VA out of this trailer.

Spoiler: what I heard was the worst work Working Designs has ever done, and that saddens me. I've never heard a bad WD dub until now, and some of these people sounded straight up awful.


Hopefully it's back to CoH3 now.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

I'm dying for this but after so many delays and no communication I just don't know if I believe it'll be out in a week.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Until Vic has something on Twitter, gaijinworks or here I’m not trusting a date.

I have no dog in the VA hunt, I am getting the WE on Vita so chances are I’ll only here music/VA sporadically when the wife is asleep.

I’m still all the way in and have already paid for my copy, endless waiting is par. Hell the wait back in the day for Arc the Lad collection and Growlanser Generations were insane

The GW website seems to suggest it's cleared QA, can't imagine there's much of a holdup now. It's been ready to go for a while.

True, I just figured if Vireland was going to release next week GW would already be advertising it.

 

[Strings]

Moved 57k copies first week in Japan (40k PSV, 17k PS4), while 5 did 105k on PSP. Surprised to see the 4 remake only did 40k first week, but I suppose that's cause it wasn't a new title.

 

[JPS Kai]

Thanks for the reminder to get our review request in. Been meaning to get on that for a while now.

 

[DangerMouse]

Yup, so much stuff this month.

Been waiting for this though, ready whenever it comes

 

[Hideki Kamiya]

Finally a solid release date huh? Can't wait.

I hope the game order links gets updated for Canadians soon as well. I enjoy this series, but skipped on preodering the super special edition due to cost.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I would not say solid until something ships.

 

[SquirrelWide]

For those of us who have only been aware of the series but never tried it, is 6 a good point to jump in? I probably wouldn't pick it up day 1 (2017 is slammed) but SRPGs are my jam and I've been meaning to try one of these.

 

[Basileus777]

Gaijinworks has been really awful at getting the word out on when this game is coming out, but the timing kind of sucks. I didn't think SN5 was all that great and this is coming out in a really crowded time.

 

[mejin]

I'll believe when I boot the game here. Until then, I'll just expect a new delay. lol

 

[cj_iwakura]

And to think Vic 'hired a marketing guy'. I hope he isn't paying him much.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Another delay?
Where’s the Prime savings?

I mean, no? It's a huge fan servicey jumble of characters throughout the series and to get the most out of it you need to have played every entry.
But we've only had one localized so that's not feasible for most, and it's a pretty decent SRPG in its own right so playing 5 then this will do you alright.

I thought 5 was great, personally. It didn't do anything new but I enjoyed the art and character interactions.

That's how I felt. It was a well polished solid SRPG.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

I agree. 5 was fun.
6 focuses more on character interactions across the series at the expense of newcomers.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I'm wondering what the patch situation might look like.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Damn. I'm looking forward to playing this, but agreed—October is stacked enough as it is.

It really needed to come out earlier. I was hoping Gio Corsi would send them some help and maybe Sony might help advertise it on PSN. Small guys like Gajinworks need all the help they can get.

 

[Elaugaufein]

I wouldn't put to much stock in the placeholders. Sony's The Drop announced it for release that week once before (I assume someone forgot to pass along it was delayed to that team).

 

[Saphirax]

Unsurprisingly, the placeholder date changed again. It's October 31 now.

 

[Beartruck]

Christ, if they don't know when it'll be finished they should just say as much. This is embarrassing.

This is exactly why until I see a date from Vireland, gaijinworks, on here, youtube or Twitter I think every date is not going to happen.

My personal guess is the full week before thanksgiving

 

[Saphirax]

Gaijinworks have yet to announce a release date. Should be soon though according to their twitter.

I hope Gio Corsi sends help to get these guys on track. I wonder if anyone from Gajinworks has contacted Sony? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere before he has helped small third parties like this before.

Nothing Gio can do. It’s all on Gaijinworks. Should be smooth sailing now that the game passed QA.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Preordered this on a whim back in September, but I'm honestly considering using that money elsewhere for now and picking the game up digitally sometime next year. The uncertainty around the release date is unfortunate and I have an embarrassingly large backlog to deal with this year anyway.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Oh, it passed QA? I thought that was the hold up.

 

[Saphirax]

Oh, it passed QA? I thought that was the hold up.

It was. Just need the discs and carts now.

 

[Geminosity]

As someone who's never heard of the series before, I'm impressed that I just watched that trailer showing gameplay and yet I've come away from it still completely baffled as to if it's real time with time-stopping summons/magic ala secret of mana or turn based with random real-time overworld stuff and/or minigames like the mario & luigi games / persona titles

 

[Alec]

Has the last call email been sent out? My address has changed since I've bought the W.E.

 

[mejin]

Unsurprisingly, the placeholder date changed again. It's October 31 now.

LMAO fuck'n knew it

:-(

 

[Alric]

Checking out more videos it looks fun. A good addition for my vita, anyone who has played any of the other games or even the japanese version know if it's a decent game?

The series has always been turn based.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Expecting a November date which would be alright for me because I'm only buying Pokemon that month.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

I ordered the special edition and I'm actually glad this hasn't come out yet... because my backlog is getting bigger and bigger.

It totally sucks for anyone who's being waiting for this game to come out though.

I played the JP Vita version. It's a mediocre to decent game. Nothing special.
