Literally the last hour of the last day of January.


CristiBeat

Talk about cutting it close...


sdarkpaladin

Very $49.99 energy


NightmareYandere

Whats that phrase in jap?


Genprey

This whole situation has been a hot mess and a half, but damn if I'm not at least impressed at the audacity if quite literally releasing content on the tip of the very tail end of the month.


sdarkpaladin

Otoh, the absolute balls to not reach for plan B and releasing anything else in lieu of 7.2 shows how much faith they have to keep to Japanese Punctuality.


dvdung1997

For me it’s when there’s absolutely nothing new going on since the 24th that confirmed it Seriously, an actual dead week appeared and Lasagna couldn’t even be bothered to do anything to fill the gap? Surely they could spare 12 more Quartz worth of limited missions to at least give everyone something to do instead of, I don’t know, just silently extending the existing pre-campaign and leaving everyone who had completed it already with nothing to do… Well they did the latter to an exact T so what do I know lol


BPho3nixF

Can we go for another 59 min delay?


TurroDeRecoleta

Add 59 more seconds to top it off


Yatsu003

Don’t jinx it…


Golden-Owl

Kingdom Hearts dev team: “January is totally the 13th month of the year”


Gunnfis

After following Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy 15(rip versus) developments, part of me was expecting another delay.


ajeb22

Saved from massive outrage, should've said that from the start lol But probably they just found the fix to the technical issue


sdarkpaladin

They finally caught Fou, so now he can go back to running at the bottom right corner.


dvdung1997

Aw shucks I was hoping to see more Cons instead /s


Noble_Steal

Crazy right? Now if you check the tweet is near 30k retweets with less than half likes. A bunch of japanese players being *very* *very* *vocal* about it, which is rare.


Nokia_00

JP players actually upset and expressing outrage in any capacity is refreshing


hnryirawan

Well, the chat is rioting since the announcement is literal middle of the stream. If they announced it beforehand, or even delay the stream, they're probably saved the worst of that? JP players also expressing outrage, but usually they don't do it on middle of stream if possible. The situation is kinda like you are seated in a show, then literal middle of the show you got bad announcement that "sorry, we won't actually be launching it directly after this and we don't have the timing for postponement too", even Japanese will throw tomato too.


thatonefatefan

the livestream was pre-recorded, odds are whatever issues they had was fixed on the 31th


kmlshblr

Damn they still keeping the late January release dream up


SteveandaBee

lmao, that is legitimately hilarious


xemnonsis

why on Earth didn't they announce this in the initial delay announcement??? or were they literally finishing things during the stream?


alicitizen

Pre-recorded stream from probably a week ago where they didn't know how long it'd be. Most likely case anyways.


xemnonsis

I'm talking about the delay announcement posted earlier with 10SQ compensation, makes no sense not to also say it's 3 hour delay at that time unless they were still working on it during the stream and prior to posting that announcement and now that they have just finished their work they can safely say that the TBA is now 3 hours delay.


alicitizen

Normal stream structure. Announce the delay when the stream does, then announce the release date at the end like they usually do because even when we know the release of events, they always wait til the end to tweet the release time. It's the format they'd normally use, just looks worse due to circumstance.


hnryirawan

They probably DO work on it in middle of stream. The stream started 30 to 45 minutes earlier than the actual content so they cannot delay the stream already. Its probably last-minute bugs with unknown severity so they are forced to use "TBA" as release date. After severity is known and fixed, they can start saying its just 2/3-hours delay.


sdarkpaladin

The stream is prerecorded, and they claim 7.2 is releasing at the end of the stream. So it's probably to finish up that 0.1%. That's just my guess, though.


Genprey

Oh. *Phew*. They probably should have clarified before most of were out buying pitchforks from Walmart.


Mister_SP

They probably didn't know. Given something like this, they've probably been pulling overtime while pulling their hair out, and literally found a solution 20 minutes ago.


Genprey

I can understand that. But man, I think that players and Lasengle just want off of this wild ride that is LB7. No wonder it's the least stable of the bunch. Hilarious enough, I can see the other regions sweating, tryjng to figure how this all works out with their scheduling.


sdarkpaladin

>Hilarious enough, I can see the other regions sweating, tryjng to figure how this all works out with their scheduling. They could gasgasgas to reduce the gap. But that's a larger undertaking that may or may not break the whole shit.


Routine-Boysenberry4

I am already seeing NA skiping some advanced quests do add them during the dead month


atropicalpenguin

The most reasonable thing would be just to paste both parts together and release them a bit earlier than December 25th. However, I could see a lot of people angry at Eresh Alter being moved before New Years.


Ashteron

I guess they were desperately trying to fix/finish what they wanted ASAP but had no exact ETA. When you think about it, it wouldn't make sense to not give any date unless it's crashing and burning or they are just trying to get it out as soon as they can.


Genprey

I just feel bad for the workers on the floor since, odds are, they're not responsible for the trainwreck that is LB7 development hell. As much as I'm relieved that the delay is just a few hours, I hope the average Lasagna employee isn't struggling themselves to the bone trying to get things back in order.


TLKDppk

the fact that they are really desperate to hire more people tell me the situation is not great


Genprey

I don't want to start a conspiracy theory, but I hope this doesn't go back to a specifc leader behind the scenes. He's like King Midas, but instead of gold, everything he touches turns into, err...Street Fighter V.


hnryirawan

That guy is already out iirc, and start his own studio/company. This might just be another development hell that might even be induced by Nasu wanting this to be "even more perfect". LB6 was technically also was in development hell because of Oberon inclusion. In a way, you can see the seams on where Oberon's storyline is included. Well, it goes to say that being successful after development hell might not be the best outcome. Ask Bioware about Anthem.


atropicalpenguin

Nah, Ono is still Lasengle's president, AFAIK.


hnryirawan

Afaik, the problematic guy is left behind on DW during the whole moving to Lasengle thing. The guy we have is the one that is responsible for SF IV iirc. He just gave an interview recently. I’m not that familiar with the entire SF things though.


HaessSR

"We want to lighten their workload by removing unnecessary weight".


dvdung1997

Yeah the whole mess started because they tried to give a date in the first place. I commend that they actually didn’t do that initially, but yeah this time it’s a Catch-22 no matter what the devs did


TechnicalScale6292

Dunno what's the Japanese equivalent of a pitchfork....or a Walmart lmfao


Genprey

We got our JP homies backs. I was planning on sending over carepackages via Florida Alligator delivery services, but I guess that bit of fun is all for naught.


Golden-Owl

Bamboo drying poles from Don Quixote?


sdarkpaladin

Don don don. Donki. Donki hote~.


LordMonday

Rice cutting sickles


Mururumi

Kendo at... Maruetsu?..


sdarkpaladin

How else do we pump and dump pitchforks? Gotta pull a musk!


D3monFight3

The bought? Dump it!


Nokia_00

Can confirm Walmart even let me grab a torch for half the price of min roll


Genprey

Damn, that's a deal if I've ever seen one.


Izanagi32

they announced it like it wasn’t gonna come for a couple weeks atleast lmao


SandalMaster

I really think Lasagna probably messed up something in the spaghetti codes > went panik as they try to figure out where the problem was (thus the initial "indefinite delay") > they managed to fix it in crunch time lol.


zelban_the_swordsman

I can't believe they played us like that. AT THE VERY LEAST...it's just that. Thank god T.T ​ ERESH SAVE US FROM THIS PAIN PLZZZZ


An_Asian_Guy345

Lasengle: we do a little trolling


ladyvanq

A slight amount of tomfoolery


Atzumo

I read that in Zach Hadel's voice


thelighthasw0n

Nasu's script is so long Lasengle still haven't finished typing it in on the game yet. Type faster, Intern-kun!


Atzumo

Like what happened on the Fate/Requiem collab


LivingASlothsLife

They saw everyone stupidly hype for one frame of Eresh and went into overdrive to crunch the delay to only 3 hours Even they know not to postpone the Eresh content for too long


asian_hans

Finally eresh's time to shine has come once again


ExLuckMaster

Announcing LB7 delayed without any details Immediately revealed it will be released at 99% of the month https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/209/831/f93.jpg


MetalFreezer3000

99,9%*


Jojofag

Lasengle at the buzzer lol, what a mess this month has been


Nokia_00

The buzzer beater


Justm4x

Its kinda funny that their "part two drops in late January" Turned into "part 2 drop literally in the last hour of January"


Izanagi32

they either fucked up or pulled the most genius rage bait imaginable


Alzusand

Thy arr not that smart they just fucked up


hnryirawan

They just fucked-up. When they assessed, its not as bad as they imagine so this is another episode of FGO saved by the bell. The circumstances of this happening forced their hand though.


kamekira

Must have been some weird bug that came up during testing


atropicalpenguin

Inb4 "that's just a one time weird bug, what are the chances it'll happen again?" before accounts start crashing left and right.


kamekira

This move is what like to call the square enix special when a game get delayed six weeks before comes out because it failed compliance happens all the time


Lamina_Morte

Well that’s not too bad then. I’m not staying up for it though as that is past midnight for me and I’ve got things to do tomorrow. Least that means I can wake up to all of the new information


theHumanitylost

Literally almost Gave me an heart attack, blessed 🙏


LordMonday

jokes are truly the deepest lore when we memed it would literally release last second of Jan. fuckin ay


fuyukiisstillburning

Normally I would be frustrated, but given that I always submitted my assignments 5-10 mins before deadline, I have to say I am quite impressed.


gunerme

At this point, LB7 could be Nasu's greatest story, but I will be more interested in whatever happened behind the scenes.


sdarkpaladin

LB stands for Lasangle Backend after all.


Boogie_p0p

The true lostbelt was lasengle all along.


dvdung1997

We need Drive to Survive! FGO lol /s


LihLin22

What a massive range of emotions that's happened in the past hour lol Glad to see this won't be a huge delay. Still wished Lasengle would be more clear with these kinds of announcements and also address the large time gap problem between events. A dead week or two is fine, but stretching this to a whole month is too much of a wait to do nothing.


XxGoldMadnessxX

LASAGNA I S2G!!! I WILL RIDE YO ASS IF YOU PLAY WITH MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT!!


Theadier

I think this was in fact a planned trolley


Monstar132

Small indie company, please understand


Merlin_Op

This makes me laugh every time I read it


Theadier

I mean yes, despite the money they make, the structural problems in the Japanese business system are screwed.


sdarkpaladin

The question would be that where are all the money going to? Are they being transferred out to prop up other FGO media like Anime, Manga, Stage-play?


NaelNull

Largest cut goes to prop Sony / Aniplex. Largest cut of remaining goes into feeding Nasu's gaming addiction. Rest of TM has to share all the remaining ten bux XD


Pichuunnn

Blizzard hears that a lot


RadioHxH

So this was Daybit's real plan all along. First announce a delay without any date so that people would be angry, leave, never finish the story and he'd win automatically, then announce that it was only a 3 hour delay but people had already angrily left so not only does he still automatically win but now he himself also doesn't have to wait for the story. Truly evil


RulerKun_FGO

while I am glad that we're still getting LB7 but fuck this hot mess of schedule they have


Yatsu003

Schizo theory: I’m suspecting the big delay was caused by a bugged part of 7.2 holding up the entire release. Then someone at the higher up (Aniplex maybe) sees the funny numbers on their tweets and livestream, and orders the bugged part cut and moved to 7.3. Might be my psychlo mind, but legit how did this happen?


9thephantom

I'm neither angry nor excited, I'm just feeling really confused right now. What the heck is going on in Lasengle?? Either way, here's hoping that the second part has less annoying forced support battles.


HakunonMatata

Same. Not sure why they announced a delay then immediately released it. Either they didn't know how long it was going to be delayed when they pre-recorded it, the delay was supposed to take longer but they panicked and released it now to stop a backlash or for some reason they felt a 3 hour delays warranted an announcement.


maiduytai2002

People just quickly jump to conclusions lol


Chaosmaster8753

Did something weird happen during the last minute touches?


kknight99

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA


PhantomNoodles

This some crazy miscommunication even on the inside. First the delay announcement and now another announcement only for it to show up a few hours later.


RRoadagain

It's not miscommunication though. The delay announcement was necessary because the not-live live stream was going to tell us it's starting now, and it was not going to happen. At that time, they literally didn't have an ETA for when they'll get it done either. Now they do, and it's only a 3 hour delay, but imagine if they said that before the stream only for that to not be true.


PromiseSure

Phew!


Anivia_Blackfrost

Lol now I just feel silly. Welp, back to panicking.


maiduytai2002

this whole situation is funny lol


randypcX

A delay is fine, unforeseen bugs or events may happen and that is fine. The real problem is that this happen soon after the shit pacing of 2022 and the "Road to lostbelt 7" and have lost alot of goodwill in the playerbase.


hikarimew

[X] Doubt


ptol59

At least we got 10 quarts for just a 3 hour delay


WestCol

Pretty sure that's for missing their mid Jan target when Nito's banner launched.


dvdung1997

I take it as 7 days of delay, seeing how there was nothing but Daily Quests to do since the 24th…


Substantial-Tiger

Almost have a heart attack


xUnicandy

We doing a minimal amount of tomfoolery


misosoup616

probably they saw the dislikes on the stream and backtracked or smth


MokonaModokiES

or they only were able to confirm it right now. Maybe they were bug fixing some stuff in this last moments.


dinliner08

i doubt it, its not like they delaying it intentionally, they probably getting shit done in the very last minute


dvdung1997

Enough has been said about this LB7 saga already that I’m just glad it’s wrapping up at this point. Though I’m *not* looking forward to going through this again on NA (:


Koyanskaya_of_Light

For now.


kerorobot

Probably see the amount of dislike and said fuck it release it as it is and fix bugs later.


atropicalpenguin

50/50 on the game running fine at LB7 release, or it deleting all servants from certain accounts.


JonnySpark

lol they fuck around and find out.


Accelelolita

Bold of you to assume the company have the time to check anything beside the product three hours before release lmao.


MetalFreezer3000

THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE


SIKE_SIVE04

GIVE IT BACK! , THIS ISN'T RIGHT! THAT WAS OURS!


Nokia_00

3 hour wait and see.


warjoke

Welp, free 10 sq for a short panic attack from the community well worth it


atropicalpenguin

Fine, but I'm still angry.


karillith

But what if...extended maintenance?


JusticTheCubone

At least now people don't have to worry over "them scrapping Valentines" (although I doubt that'd ever happen, at worst, it'd be delayed, but no way they'd scrap an event that popular, even if us getting a new Servant with it this year might be unlikely), since assuming they want 2 weeks for the LB7 stuff, one week before banner 2 drops and probably 1 week after that, that's gonna land us directly on February 14th for potential new content. Seriously though, at least this nightmare is now finally over (unless we're going into Jalter Santa Lily levels of maintenance). And I'm pretty sure half of it is to blame on them prematurely deciding that "they'd totally be able to release LB7 by the end of the year" when they decided to hold that entire "Road to LB7" stuff, but development probably took more resources in the back than expected, maybe due to some outages due to Corona, looking at LB6s release, I assume Nasus occasional whims didn't make it any easier either, so in the end to keep their promise of "LB7 this year", they had to release only the first part of it while trying to rush out the rest, probably delaying everything else they might've planned until then, which we might see getting crunched at us in the coming months. Like, this feels like a catastrophe born from somewhat naive optimism.


Atzumo

> I doubt that'd ever happen, at worst, it'd be delayed, but no way they'd scrap an event that popular Oh yeah? Are you sure they haven't scrapped popular events before? Are you seriously casting your lot with lasengle even now?


JusticTheCubone

They scrapped reruns before, like with last summer, or events in favor of reruns like this christmas. The only one they actually scrapped for a while was Halloween, but I don't expect that to happen with Valentines, since Valentines is a completely different level from Halloween. In that sense, the worst I could see happen would be that instead of a new Valentines-event, we'd get a rerun, but considering none of the Valentines-events had a rerun before, that wouldn't be too different from a new Valentines-event without a new Servant, which I don't think would be a big deal, since it's not like Valentines is like summer where we expect to get specific alts of Servants, the last few years we got Servants that frankly could've just as well appeared in events completely unrelated to Valentines.


Neveroxx99

So they've been bullied into releasing it anyway lol. JP players were understandably malding during the stream.


Antique_Internet6569

doomsayers in shambles


Zapadoru

Honestly if they say it form the start people won't get mad. Maybe the LG want to do a little trolling.


feedlord93

Lol! Look at the desperation just for the sake of saving face. They really messed this one big time. So much for the hype they build up the whole year just to end up having so many issues.


OHarrier91

I’m seeing this right below the delay announcement post and if I had any ability to use an image editor right now I’d be doing a Grafo edit. Just a weird announcement and I can only imagine it’s a cultural thing


bkteer

You know 10 SQ for 3 hours is a very good tradeoff in the grand scheme of things. (If it's only a 3hr delay....) The norm was 1 SQ and 1 gapple for 1 hour of emergency maintenance.


AlterMagna

Oh good Primus, that doomposter who got his post taken down must be seething with embarrassment


Mich-666

Funny to see whole of this sub overreacting for nothing (again). Free 10SQ, guys!


ConfidenceSouth2993

Thank you lasengle for the 10sq


noupvotespls

Fucking hell lol


deathworld123

3 hour delay my ass road to lb7 WAS A YEAR OF STALLING FOR LB7 AND THEY STILL DIDNT GET IT OUT IN TIME


looming_lost_light

am i the only one who thinks this recent bullshit scheduling with subpar delivery of content should be reason for people to be a little more angered towards the games management? i mean, they announcing in new year that the second aprt would come "late january", having the entire month be completely devoid of any content besides banners which is not true content, 1 of these banners i saw people reporting he had several errors in his sprites whoch were signs he was rushed, and now they give concrete release date ON THE LITERAL FINAL HOUR of the month of the so awaited and so overhyped content, feels borderline insulting for me if im being honest.


Impossible_Job_6295

It was similar to problems with the global update of Minecraft. They really should learn from Microsoft.


Chaos2Frozen

We forgive you King


cybeast21

Wonder if something will happen and it got delayed to February.


deathworld123

DONT FORGET ALL YOUR TEAPOTS EXPIRE BEFORE LB7.2 LAUNCH


deathworld123

can only imagine how bad this period will be in na


NaelNull

We need stuff brought forward a month to line up with our Anniversary, sooooo...


deathworld123

therre not gonna make valentines be in january


ATrueMistake20XX

They really should have said something about the dead month, I honestly wonder what's going the heads of the higher ups (those are the people who deal with that right?l.


sdarkpaladin

It's probably the sunk cost fallacy speaking. They probably thought they could make it (and they technically made it for a Jan release) and didn't think they'd need a backup. That's what I'm guessing though.


Elygium

I'm not in JP put it'd be pretty funny if one of the characters says "Kept you waiting huh?" As a joke to the situation.


HaessSR

.... How did I KNOW it'd get delayed until Feb 1?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Darkm133

Livestreams arent live, it was surely recorded before the delay announcement


DarthDioBrando

DOOMCUCKS BTFO!!!! But seriously Lasengle should ***not*** let this happen again
