Owain Dark Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 According to a reddit user, a few stores in the Philippines already sold copies of 3H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onestep Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 If so, I fully expect pirated version of the game to be sold/shared before the actual game. But I'll hold my breath. Even if this has happened, it doesn't necessarily mean any given leak is true without proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 The post says that a few local stores posted on social media that the game was ready, which is different than them actually having and selling copies of the game. There's no proof that anyone actually bought a copy from any of those stores and managed to get the game months early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cysx Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I don't know if the game is ready, but I can't quite move to the Philippines at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 That seems... uh, extraordinarily unlikely. It's doubtful it's even gone gold yet, let alone gone into distribution. We're over two months out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessAlyson Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Yeah, until we hear more (if at all) this seems highly unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair General Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I'm pretty sure that the delay is for ironing out bugs, manufacturing, and shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ertrick36 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Um... Has the game yet to even go golden? Because if not then they're playing an incomplete game, lmao I very strongly doubt this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owain Dark Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Don't forget, Kingdom Hearts 3 and I think Smash, got sold a few months before their releases. So it COULD be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timlugia Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 While some evidences suggest that the game had fairly high level of completion by the end of last year (already have English localization UI even on E3). I doubt the game are in distribution more than 2 months from release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances FETH is gold yet is pretty slim, let alone on the streets a full two months before release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Japanese localization is probably done entirely already. And Nintendo holds it back for En and EU location, so they can release world wide the same day... Yet I honestly wouldn't be surprised, if there's already copies floating somewhere around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonicluigi Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I would like to think this would be fake. Could actually be true. We'll have to wait for some more leaks to come now, but maybe don't get too excited just yet I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Ithipathachai Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Didn't Shadows of Valentia also get leaked to the public far in advance of its intended release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it did. However, that was three weeks out from japanese release, not months. Edited May 18, 2019 by Tryhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was, like, less than a month in advance of the Japanese release - the game would've definitely gone gold by then. We're in the murky territory right now with Three Houses where it either could be gold or may not yet be at that stage. That, and in SoV's case it wasn't some retailers getting copies early to sell, it was the game being distributed for free by an insider.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Incidentally this is the most credible Fire Emblem leak on Reddit this week. I don't have any knowledge of shipping to base this on, but I don't doubt the possibility of something like this happening even two months from release. Worldwide launches are hard to coordinate, these things tend to happen. This game has been delayed multiple times that we know of, so if you told me one of the release dates shipment companies were told was May 16th, I'm certainly not skeptical. It would fit with the "Spring 2019" release window they were planning before the last delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but the Smash Ultimate case was a result of people unlocking the lock on the Switch, since all the copies came from the Smash Ultimate Switch that came with Ultimate downloaded. Then stores in Mexico broke the street date but that was like, a week or so before the actual release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's some sort of precedence this far out. Regardless, it seems like this instance is probably a listing error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Leu Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Good grief, is it me, or does IS really seems to have problems with release of their games ? First, it was Revelation, then SoV, now this ? Well, dunno if it's true or not, but sheesh, I'd be worried about my reputation in their places at this rate. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Well I don't know if this is real or not(I doubt it is tbh) not that it matters that much since we're almost there by that time the games usually leak a week or 2 before the full release.

Florete Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 It's entirely possible this leak is partially real; they posted that they had it ready to sell, but they actually didn't have it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User name Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Its sad that this is more believable than "Spoilers" leak lol. But yeah real or not this game WILL be available before release, happens with many switch games. Edited May 19, 2019 by User name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
