Best Buy Retail Listing Claiming February 6, 2020 Release for Granblue Fantasy Versus

It's been listed for February 6 pretty much everywhere for a while now.
The Japanese release date is officially February 6, but XSEED / Marvelous Europe have yet to say anything other than Q1 2020. XSEED / Marvelous Europe tend to confirm release dates pretty close to launch, so them coming out within the next few days and saying February 6 wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary for them.

Yes they have, they've released an assload of character trailers plus James Chen had the Frosty Faustings build on stream the other day. It will be playable at Frostys this weekend, too. As far as promotion within the FGC, it's been pretty good.
Xseed is being skittish about the worldwide release date, I don't believe it's going to hit the February 6th date and the online stores are just taking the Japanese release date because there is no other one. Xseed was on UltraChen on Tuesday and still said they were "working hard" on it with no more info to give.
With the game being supported as apart of the Arc Revo pro tour they can't afford to miss a worldwide release can they.
Actually, Amazon's page for the game updated to say Feb 18: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081DGY85...urce=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Still not WW but I'll take it as I thought it would release in March.

Nobody knows what the IP is in the west? lol.
Has the mobile game even officially released outside of Japan?
They give their games no promotion and announce the release date one to two weeks before the actual release.
I wasn't even aware a listing went up, I've been checking at least once a week so I can preorder :p
I'll go ahead and do that now~

No it has not. So unless you are in the know or watch the anime most people have no idea what Granblue Fantasy even is.
The real question is which bonus are you all going to apply to your GBF account? First thought for me is the gold bar but with how much grinding is needed for the Evokers.....evolite stone hrmmmm.
I think the dude showcasing the GBVS demos at events and on streams, Jason, is great. But this is the kind of stuff that makes me wary about XSEED as a whole handling the publishing for this game. I only learned that this company is the type to announce the release date for their games 2 weeks before they're released after I started following GBVS. They're treating GBVS as this similarly really niche game when it's at least not supposed to be.
What I was told was that it was also on Cygames determining their date and when they announce it, so I dunno. Anyways, it's really important for this kind of messaging to be clear for fighting games, and they're not hitting it so far.

Wut, I thought it was a worldwide gacha phenomenon with the way people were talking about it on twitter.
I mean you can play the entire game in english now, but you will have to buy into their japanese located storefront if you wanna buy anything.
Honestly, I thought the dub for GBVS was going to hold it up. It's neat if it's still coming out the 6th, but the publisher has been weirdly quiet about the release date, their social media showing off stages rather than hyping up the release date.
Strongly agreed. The Beta had more hype and interest than the full game's drop date.
The game would do well if they released it officially outside of Japan.
But they haven't...and don't seem to have plans to.
It's still easy to play if you're not in japan, the whole game is in english, but like...what are they waiting for?
I play the browser version, I legit don't know why there isn't a an App Store version
It actually, literally, makes no sense.
I played the browser version YEARS ago, and while it wasn't for me, it was the kind of game that would have taken america by storm.
And yet, here we are.
Sooooo... We're a week away from Feb 6th and I haven't received a delay notice, nor has the best buy website updated the release date.
...dare I say I'll receive a copy of this lovely game next week?

I know it's not going to happen but it's nice to dream š
I think the problem is the app client is managed by a different company (mobage) so Cygames can't just put the game on the rest of app stores. Plus, the login system still requires you to know some Japanese (although they have mentioned that are working on ways to make it easier)
Assume everything is a placeholder until XSEED and marvelous come out with an actual date. It should be announced very soon as they've said in a tweet about 2 days ago that they're finalizing details for the release date and are planning to announce it really soon.
I could see the game getting sega saturn'd at the evo announcement next tuesday.
It would be real dumb, but I could see it.
I mean, I'd get to play by next week! But yeah that would be dumb lol
Searching XSEED's Twitter account for "soon," it's funny how many fans ask the same question for XSEED's published games in general. Bummer that it had to happen for a fighting game.
