Looks to me like an abandoned project.....
Hope still they don't cancel this.
The silence on it, is heartbreaking for the fans.
Edit: finally, early 2021 which i think April this game will be released. Just hope it blows us away!
We finally have more info!
I was hoping this would release this year but hey so far I hear quarter 2 2021 and it seems to be set in stone. So fingers crossed for a summer release in 2021, otherwise we will have Bravely Default to fall back on.
@Rpg-lover I think 11th November is more likely
Got the launch steelbook pre-ordered at Best Buy. November can't come soon enough. This game was the reason I got a Switch in 2017

I like the shiny graphics, but at the end of the day, the experience felt hollow and the story felt way too rushed too. Definitely ranks this below SMT IV and Nocturne, and possibly Strange journey too.
