Coming to America Confirmed

[The Stray]

I wouldn't think so sure about that, just wait and see, or not.

[Kairi]

I really hope it's not actually cancelled! D: 7sixty really needs to be better about keeping everyone updated on what is going on with this game though.

After checking out Amazon, Phantom Breaker is still able to be pre-ordered with a (most likely tentative) release date on December 31, 2012.

Anyone still have their pre-order with Amazon that wants to confirm this?

Phantom Breaker cancelled for North America.

I wouldn't be so sure about that...http://bit.ly/JXB1DB

The NA version still exists if 2 people (sans review copies of the full game) had it tracked on TA.

Where did you preorder that from? Did they just cancel it wherever you ordered it from? :/

[Noirzde]

Just received my cancellation e-mail from amazon today...it's cancelled Nothing on the official website or facebook about it. Any updates on this?

[JaxTH]

Yup. Amazon sent me a cancellation e-mail as well.

Not like 7sixty will ever say anything though.

[The Stray]

I guess this is it, seems 7-S aren't keeping promises and not even bothering to respond back, I mean, what kind of company doesn't do their work properly, less having it around.

Oh well, its either importing it...>_>...Or wait until PB:Battlegrounds to come out on XBLA instead.

Now what are they gonna do with those damn LE's and those completed copies...>_>
The game still exists since 2 people actually played the damn NA version of the game that have it on their GT's (still up on TA). >_>

I'm still hoping it will come out eventually someday. I'd like to hear something official from 7sixty but of course they do a very shitty job of informing people of what's going on.

Also, I could be wrong, but I thought there was something recently that said PB: Battlegrounds was only going to be available for Japan.

EDIT: 7sixty has finally said something! The following message was posted by them on their Facebook page:

There are a number of factors going on behind the scenes that have prevented us from speaking out as to the fate of Phantom Breaker and until all avenues have been explored and all parties involved reached an agreement, the fate is still uncertain as of this time. We are listening and are working hard on finding solutions. Hopefully next post you see will have some answers. Thank you all for your support of the game.

It doesn't seem like it is canceled yet, my guess is maybe there is a license issue or something. I hope some good agreement can take place and we can see this come to North America soon

[The Stray]

Well, I hope they do something about it, seriously, and quick, this is really turning out to be another "Otomedius" problem, this one being more delayed than necessary, even with all the issues 7-S is going on lately. >_>

I hope they do something about it too. From the post it seems like they are trying to do something at least which is good. Glad to see them finally said something; it was long overdue lol.

[JaxTH]

I'm pretty sure they are bullshitting once again.

Nothing can redeem them for me.

Oh really, well, like it matters or not, its still coming, if possible.

I'll still get it if it comes out but 7sixty is dead to me.

Yeah, but back then 7-S was going steady and fine, but now, this game is in delay-mode, and KFS was delisted, so they have too much to deal with now...

[Kairi]

I noticed the Phantom Breaker page posted a comment recently saying:

Glad to hear that they will try doing a better job of informing people with future updates at least. I hope they can give us details on what is going on soon!

[The Stray]

Here we go again. >_>

We want you to know that we appreciate your continued support of "Phantom Breaker". We, along with you, have a great vested interest in this title coming to market. However, the current boxed game business model and shifting digital gaming trends have made it difficult to bring this game to market as originally planned. Please know that we are as disappointed as you are in the delay and lack of information regarding the game's fate. This is not an official cancellation notice of the game, but it is a heads-up that it is at a point where it is difficult to release the game as planned. Thank you again for your patience. We hope to have a definitive word before too long, whether good or bad, on the fate of the game.

So yeah, still not cancelled, but this might be the "Make it or Break it" kind of thing on the fate of the game. (Even though its been out, long ago, just not bothered to release it.)

[JaxTH]

...Right.

I'm pretty sure everyone thought it dead already after from the last time they said something about the game.

[The Stray]

Meh, if whatever happens to it, I really do or don't care, PB: Battlegrounds will satisfy me anyways during that time.

That's because its in indefinite delay until 7-Sixty says something about it if it will actually come out. Hopefully PB: Battlegrounds might help in releasing it if and when they can.
