Hi guys.

Did anybody consider yet that the catastrophe ongoing in Japan might cause delays for DW7? Could even be that Koei themselves got damaged by this earthquake or tsunami..

And if they aren't damaged, maybe there could still be some logistic delays?

Does anybody know anything?

There will be no delays because DW7 was released in Japan before the Tsunami... The game was delayed in US and EU probably because the request of JP voices options... And don't worry the game will leak between March 22 and 25! All games leak one week before the release! lol

1) Thankfully, the Koei-Tecmo Community Manager has confirmed that the Japanese KT team are safe and sound.

2) The game has already been released in Japan.

3) The copies of the games for NA and EU are most likely produced in the USA and Germany, so it *probably* won't cause an issue.

4) At the moment, no additional delays are CONFIRMED, but the rumour (changed dates on Play.co.uk and Game.co.uk) so far only applies to the EU not NA. It's most likely because of localisation issues - Europe is a bit more complicated than NA, with all different logistical and language issues.

5) Last week Chin asked whether we would be happy to have the game delayed 1 week to add the Japanese Voice Options, though we've had no official answer, it COULD have something to do with it.\

I hope that answers everyone's questions and the queries that have been floating around for a few days.

Let's keep in mind that the first delay occurred and the NA folks were nyah-nyah'ing the EU folks and then the NA delay followed shortly, so it could be the same thing now.

that's really annoying if it's true the US version was delayed to add Japanese voices the majority in the west won't use.

If there was Chinese voiceovers that would be very unique and fitting, but oh well, it's just 2 more weeks for release (and more time to play Hard Corps Uprising.) :XD

Getting sick of delays heh let us have it already!
I booked a week off for the original 25thlaunch as it was "confirmed" then pushed week off back to accompdate the delay, but am out of luck now as this was leftover days to use before new years allowance kicked in

As someone who wanted JP voices in DW, I'll drop my preorder and possibly reconsider buying the game if they screw over that many of their English fans just so a couple loud fans on the forums get their JP voices.

There is zero reason for them to delay the game just so they'll be on disk, this is the kinda stuff you release as DLC for the "hardcore" fans, not delay the game for the majority fanbase.

But I'll reiterate, we don't know if there's a delay, its highly doubtful that some gaming outlets got the news before anyone else did. Chin had discussed the possibility (but from what I can tell the result wasn't overwhelmingly positive) on Facebook/Twitter/His Blog.

I'd say improbable is my final answer.

Also please, for the love of God if anyone else asks if the incidents in Japan caused the delay I'll go postal.

I would be miffed about a delay because of JP voices, but that wouldn't affect my hype for DW7! :XD


Already pre-ordered it and want to buy and play it first day of release! :XD

Considering that Chin said it would be a free DLC option.............I would not mind the delay.

They'll probalby need to add the option on change the dialoulge language on the menu.

Maybe it's because I got a lot of other things going on in my life.
Maybe it's because I have not sent my PS3 to be fixed.

I'm being patient with whatever happens.

Oh no please STOP speaking of delays if it isn't confirmed!
Where are your sources? Can someone link Chin's post considering the delay? Even the "changed dates" on Amazon (or something like that)?

No one knows for sure (at least I don't think). Shops have changed the release date to the 8th of April but no 'official' source from KOEI has confirmed it yet.

There is no official confirmation of delays whatsoever, two websites have changed the release date, TWO of the gaming vendors out of hundreds. Koei hasn't said a damn thing about it and Chin had questioned on his blog the other day whether people would be fine with it in exchange for Japanese voice DLC, which was met with pretty negative response.

So please do not say a WORD about the delay until something official is said because so far there is nothing to suggest there is one except some site changes and Chin's insanity (but we still love him anyway)

I wouldn't have to be hostile if people didn't ignore the last 15 pages of people discussing it and just jumped straight to this one to ask.

And sadly no news on the DLC outside of Japan yet.

I don't think delaying the game one week qualifies in any form, way or means as "screwing people over", period. Not releasing the game, releasing a buggy game, releasing a game where the instructions are printed on half a page leaving the other half blank, free dlc codes that don't work, this is screwing people over, not releasing one week late on a product which I'm quite sure we can live without for a week.

Personally, I hope the delay is to put Japanese voices and all the free dlc on the disc, it's technically possible, however the most realistic option is logistical issues, although I have no idea why, both the manual and the discs of European KT games state "made in Austria"

My issue is moreso there's zero reason to include it on the disc. We live in an age where basically if you own a PS3 or 360 you have the internet. All you're doing is delaying the game a week that's already been delayed once before, only this time for a completely worthless reason.

We can download the DLC a week later for all I care, no reason to withhold the game even longer than they already had to. It was a legit reason the first time most likely (localization) this time if its only so they can put DLC on the disc I'll be baffled.

And my apologies for my earlier hostility but if you want to nip a rumor in the bud you act fast and you act hard.

Our discussion of this topic does not mean the delay has been confirmed yet, its still just a rumor!
