So excited to get my hands on this, thanks for the reminder!

I'm honestly okay with that. Money's a little tight with the recent Direct announcements, so, this'll freshen up the ol...

looks back at the date

Okay, so, that's close to Final Fantasy VII Revelation... hmmm...

I wonder if this delay can be blamed on the AI chip shortage?
I’ve seen lots of things delayed because of it, though this seems unlikely

Cool, i guess i am getting oot at launch now.

This is unacceptable! How dare they!

Wouldn’t be Tears of the Kingdom without delays

@Alpha008 I don't really get why Ai would impact it when the book is pretty much just needing paper. My guess is just that they're still working on translation work and it's taking longer than expected. Especially given that this is the Tears of the Kingdom version of Master Works.
