Delayed until February in the US?

That's what it says on ebgames.com.

On the bright side, this means I can hold off on buying a PSP.

Personally, I'm fine with that. I'd rather have a longer localization window, after the examples of Legend and Dragon Song. Dragon Song just had the name inconsistencies and at least fixed Althena's hair color and added the sped-up battles, but Legend's localization actually added several bugs and subtracted a save slot, in addition to the text really needing a final cohesive edit. It was really clearly rushed for the holiday season, and one version of Lunar 1 like that is enough.

Sounds great to me. I'll have more money then, not to mention some birthday cash that month. ^_^

Huh. This sucks.

Although a longer localization increases the likelihood that XSEED will do due diligence to make sure the translation's of good quality. It being XSEED also increases the likelihood that they'll do due diligence. KF

I do hope they dutifully do due diligence.

I'm okay with that. Waiting for WD releases trained me to wait.

Just remember that these release dates are still all speculation as far as I know. XSEED has never officially announced a release date of any kind that I've seen.

Yeah I updated after the December announcement since I figured it was plausible they'd try to get a pre-Christmas release out of it. Eh, go figure. KF

Kinda figured this would happen when the JP date was shown as November 12th.

Damn, gonna be a bad year for me financially. Though, I graduate from my current college around that time, so maybe I can throw that on the gift list :D

Curses, they would wait until I'm in Afghanistan to release it here.

This is how we know it's a real Lunar.

So much for asking for a PSP + Lunar for Christmas. :evil:

Meh, not that much. I'm used to Blizzard-long delays ^^

Didn't really wanna hear this but I was expecting it anyway. As soon as the trailer came out and stated the release date as November in Japan, I knew our chances were slim of still getting it in December. Oh well. Hopefully we still get an incredible translation and maybe some great limited edition/pre order bonuses (shades of WD, no? Lol) :)

BTW, officially, there is no release date yet. Though early 2010 is a good bet. GameStop and EBGames websites are speculation, though I imagine, somewhat close.

The waits alright with me.
I rarely play my PSP, plus I'll have more time to play it then. ^__^

Frankly, I was also expecting this. Delays are pretty common with U.S. released in the gaming world. I have no problem waiting, either. I have absolutely no money for a PSP at the moment, anyway.

There's no delay, considering no release date was ever announced by XSEED. People just jumped the gun saying the game would be out in December based on GameStop and/or EBGames listing.
