Dad Waits Seven Years for Inazuma Eleven Prize
Japanese Gamer Finally Receives Prize After Seven Year Delay
Patience truly pays off. A Japanese gamer has gone viral on social media after revealing that he finally received a giveaway prize from Level Five, seven years after winning it. What makes the story even more heartwarming is that his daughter was only in fourth grade when he won. Today, she is in eleventh grade and the prize has only just arrived.
The story started when the user GottBaTotai posted a photo of a letter from Level Five on X. He humorously captioned it saying he won the prize for the game Inazuma Eleven Victory Road seven years ago and only recently received notification that it was being delivered. The post gained more than ten million views. The letter explained that the company was sorry for the delay and informed him that the game will officially release on November fourteen. The letter also instructed him to check his email to choose the platform he prefers.
This giveaway was originally held when Level Five planned to release Inazuma Eleven Victory Road in 2018. However, the game underwent repeated delays, similar to Fantasy Life i. The release was pushed back eight times in total and even crossed console generations from the first Switch to the new Switch two. Despite the long delay, Gott said he was still happy that the prize finally arrived safely.
Not Just One Story Of Waiting
Another Japanese father named Sei shared a similar story. He won a prize during a promotion for the same game when his daughter was still in fourth grade. Today, she is in eleventh grade and only now did he receive the prize. Many users congratulated him and admired the patience. Even though seven years is a long time, fans commented that Level Five still followed through with their promise which is why they found it difficult to criticize the delay. Some joked that the company could have waited until the game was almost ready before announcing the giveaway to avoid long term frustration.
About Inazuma Eleven Victory Road
Inazuma Eleven Victory Road is a sports themed game first announced in 2016. It was planned to launch alongside its anime arc Inazuma Eleven Ares. After several delays, the game finally approaches release. The story mode takes place twenty five years after the events of the first game. The plot revolves around Sasanami, a boy who cannot play soccer but dreams of becoming involved in the sport. Determined to make an impact, he becomes a strategist and team manager who builds the strongest possible lineup.
THIS IS our take
Waiting seven years for a game prize should be a side quest achievement. Level Five really tested the patience stat of its fans, but seeing players still excited proves that a promise kept hits harder than any delay. Sometimes the best loot drop is simple closure.
