Awful seems a bit of a stretch.

What didn't you enjoy? The battle system AI is the only thing I can think of but you can work around it. Personally I loved Ni No Kuni

Different strokes for sure. But in terms of its monster hunting premise and that the capture rate for said monster capturing was so damn low was an oversight that should have been revised (which made upkeep with monsters and being straddled with shitty ones even more disheartening). The combat was terrible, AI was dumb as hell, controlling for moves and multiple elements in addition to a bad camera was no fun at all. The story and sights and all that were great (well...the finale was off), but I just didn't enjoy the gameplay elements and the game does quite a bit of needless handholding for already easy elements.

Not my cup of tea.

Like I said, for what it's worth I'm excited for Ni no Kuni II and loved the demo. The first game just didn't click and in the end I was annoyed I spent as much as I did (though I heard it went as low as $10 bucks which might have made me feel a LITTLE differently).

I feel like this game has less buzz than the first did and they keep moving it to try and give it some space, only for its release month to get crowded again, haha.

The wait mainly sucks for me because I'm curious to see impressions of the final product...

Its okay to delay if it makes the game better.

Im about 7 hours into the og and its a bit of a letdown. Does it get better as the game goes on?

Actually...I'm totally okay with this. Leaves more room for Digimon and FF Dissidia.

I got the email as well. My wallet breathed a sigh of relief. Wish it was coming out in February though.

Well that's pretty disappointing if true. January is definitely not packed for me. That was the game. Uff

As much as I want to play it, I'd rather they take their time on the game. It's a little disappointing, but it's probably for the better.

It's fine by me because there is nothing worth a shit in March, but there is plenty of good stuff in January already.

This makes my purchase of Ni No II a no brainer even though I didn't play 1, because there's nothing to get in the way of purchasing it like Monster Hunter World.

This is literally making me mouth "No" at the screen over and over. I thought for sure that strategic bump to January would be it. :((((

Now I'm torn because it's away from Dissidia NT... but now it'd 11 from Yakuza 6. Argh. Please let this be a mistake...

No worries. That should give me enough time to 100% Odyssey and (maybe) finish XBC2.

Disappointing for me to say the least.

Either it needs more work, which can go either way, or they're jockeying for a "more open" release window.

I hope it's not the latter because March-May is going to fill up real quick with dates. We don't have dates for God of War(rumored Q1), Spiderman(first half of 2018), Detroit(rumored February), RDR2, Project Octopath Traveler, State of Decay 2, and Far Cry is pretty darn close to that date.

Probably not too much overlap between NNK2 and those games, but for me I would be under duress if any game releases near NNK2 that I want to play.

I just want the game. :(

I mean... Bandai Namco has 2 other games in January already, so moving one of them wouldn't be the worst thing.

I was really excited for this till I realised familiars were gone. That was one of my favourite aspects of the last game :(

On one hand I wanted to play this game so bad, but on the other Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is out next month. So I need as much time to play that game as I need.

Ugh.. I was really set for that date after being disappointed enough with the first delay out of this year. It really does seem at this point like they are expanding a bomba of all bombas and want to avoid any/all similar competition as a result, be it Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Monster Hunter World or Dragonball. Unless they're really expecting us to buy the "allow us to deliver the game to your expectations" again?

Really, really disappointed. The game will just go absolutely off of my radar now and that sucks considering that I adored the first one.

I can't help but feel like the game isn't getting anywhere near the treatment it may deserve if it lives up to expectations. Going dead silent for over a year, two meaningless delays and being a no-show as Sony's E3 conferences.

Bleh.
