FVCG-1212: Sekaiju no MeiQ⁴ *denshou no kyojin* FM Arrange + Drama CD

[Don]

Changed the release date based on this email that I received:

The release date of the following item(s) has
been changed from 2012/09/26 to 2012/10/24.
=============================================
FVCG-1212
Game Music / "Etrian Odyssey IV (Game)" FM Ongen Arrange + Drama CD

[Despatche]

Hate to bump but ooh those jerks, they're gonna nickel and dime us for the goods. One big point of this series was cool FM soundtracks... I nearly threw up when I heard that OST.

[Phonograph]

that delay thing isn't that sept->oct ?
because I saw that a while ago, thinking the delay was the change of month, so I didn't edit

It was once again delayed.

Btw, we can't remove the release date, but is it a technical reason? (e.g. the release date is the primary key of the table, so NULL isn't accepted). This album may not be eventually released until 2013.

[Secret Squirrel]

It was just a design decision we made a long time ago. The date isn't the primary key for the table, but it was assumed that an album has a date in everything we've coded for display and sorting of stuff with dates. I don't necessarily have a problem with the concept of an album with a completely unknown date, since it's come up a couple of times, but:

1. It will require some fixes to a number of features on the site.
2. If we know so little about an album that we don't even have a release date, should we even be submitting an entry?

[Don]

I got this email today. Seems the release will be canceled:

Hello.

I'm sending you this email to let you know that we just received an
update from the distributor informing us that the release of the item
below will be cancelled, unfortunately.

"Etrian Odyssey IV (Game)" FM Ongen Arrange + Drama CD
Game Music
Release Date: 2012/10/24
Catalog Number: FVCG-1212

Your CDJapan order has therefore been cancelled.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

----

This was, of course, after CDJapan's website also updated their website regarding the postponement of the album from the Oct. 24 release date.

[Carl]

Well that sucks. Now we won't get to hear FM versions.

[Ramza]

Maybe they decided to separate the "FM" and the "drama" portions into separate releases and that's why it's been cancelled?

I'm just hoping here. Maybe they found they got a full disc's worth of FM arrangement and the seiyuu are still recording the drama and they thought "screw it, let's make two CDs out of this." That's my wishful thinking!

I wish that was the case... but I'm assuming it even surprised Koshiro based on his email to me (other parts were omitted)

Hi Don,

And I don't know the reason why the SQ4 FM arrange album was canceled...

Best,
Yuzo

[Carl]

*sigh* Head over to 5pb's office and tell the executive producer that he's got some explaining to do!

[jdkluv]

Oh well. Hopefully the FM versions make their way onto the album "UnYuzed", which only currently exists in my imagination.

Someone needs to pitch that album name to Koshiro-san. This is genius.

[kokujin]

So is this project is dead for good?

[strugglepoo]

Oh wow, I had completely forgot about this release. Now I am sad.
