For those saying denuvo, how does that work? GOG ver is drm free 🤔
I imagine they're paranoid after Sonic Mania or joking. It's not going to have DRM.

Which way to the GAF betting pool? I want to put $20 on Denuvo implementation.
Well, Tokyo Xanadu is handled by Ghostlight.
Trails in the sky the 3rd came out a while ago bruh
No. They're doing it for good reasons.
Because it doesn't do anything to make a game better while reducing its moddability and making it harder to preserve?Why is denuvo a bad thing?
I don't think anyone should blame the port developers for issues like this. NISA seems to have poorly managed the PC port project just looking at when they timed the beta, and Falcom games usually have weird issues going from console to PC.Do what you need to do so its right. *is currently reading Schreier's book and you should too*

It's just their irrational hatred against Austrian software developers.Why is denuvo a bad thing?
Damn Austrians. Did you know that they started both world wars?It's just their irrational hatred against Austrian software developers.Well, and it's DRM, but I think the former is the main factor
I guess I can buy Accel World vs SAO without feeling conflicted tomorrow.
While it might not have sounded like it earlier, I'm all for better ports etc. Like the new Neptunia game that got delayed until 2018 on PC, its disappointing but understandable. 1 day before release is a kick to the nuts.Unfortunate that it came to this, but better to delay it than to release a Koei Tecmo-quality port.
You would have assumed if the port was bad, this decision would have been made clear a week ago.
Announcing it less than 24 hours before its expected launch doesn't seem like a good sign if they knew it was in poor shape.
Maybe they thought it was good enough and the fans would let performance concerns slide.
thats where I'm at. Delay I feel like is actually saving me from dumping $60 on NISA's shoddy translation anywayAnd with that, the game got dropped to a winter steam sale buy for me. Hopefully they at least get it right the first time then, especially if they delay it not even 24 hours before launch.
Thank goodness for refunds for those that preordered.
Unfortunately it also likely means it won't have anything near the graphics options normally found in PC releases of Falcom games.I definitely would have been real worried about that one if Ghostlight hadn't stepped in to help.
Ouch, honestly though if my only option was the pc version I'd be fine with waiting for a solid product vs a shity port. They are charging 60 for it the backlash would have been harsh if it was sold with how people are saying itEther.

Can you send me those 20$ right now, I'll PM you my PayPal account. ThanksWhich way to the GAF betting pool? I want to put $20 on Denuvo implementation.
Durante has been (and is still) working on Cold Steel.They really should've addressed it from the jump, and hired your earlier!
I think the way NIS addressed this was shitty - locking threads with beta testers under NDA, even posting an optimization thread on the Steam forums led to a lot of shady whispers of how shit the port was.
Why not be forthcoming and honest, just delay it and announce it earlier? A day before, no word, NDA play testers - sadness.
People suggesting this is because of DRM, please use that thing called brain a little.
This game is coming out on GoG.

Ultimately this is the best decision out of a bunch of bad options. Will probably give Xseed more leverage for the next Ys game as well.

Yeah, I've been saying that in the end people will forget that delay soon after it releases. No one cares anymore that Nier a tomato was released 2 weeks after PS4.If the game released today, it would've been Batman tier, if worse, of port state.
And? The series wasn't doing so well at the end of 2010 that XSEED had some great window to commission a PC port of it. They played things safe by licensing fan translations for older Ys games already on Windows, and now we're getting this, without last-minute delays.But Ys SEVEN's PC version was 8 years late.

Everyone still shits on Arkham Knight as the worst port in existence and an affront to humanity, even though it's supposedly in good shape now.
You only get one launch.
Probably a dick move by me but this makes me extremely wary of buying it even when they do put it out.
Will definitely wait for reviews and impressions whenever that is. Shit must have been tragic. Ys games are 100% must buy for me and to see a delay on the day before release means they messed this up bad.
Is that so hard to believe? I mean for the former you can absolutely blame bad planning and unrealistic scheduling, but nothing about the latter strikes me as unlikely.So do people really believe they didn't announce the delay until the last minute because they thought they could fix it in time? And now that the delay is announced, they can't give a new estimated release date because they don't know how long it will take to fix it?
