I'm curious about embargoes.

First rule of the embargo: Do not talk about the embargo.
Second rule of the embargo: Do NOT talk about the embargo.

If you're referring to the media tour. They have one because they haven't gone through EU yet. So if NA were allowed to put up videos, there really wouldn't be any point going to EU since all the information would be available.

That's not 100% exact. The Euro media tour already happened. The additional embargo time is to give people equal footing in getting all content ready, since articles and videos don't make themselves and take time to prepare

Pretty much this. I would honest to god, stop talking about your NDA/Embargo. Heck my advice OP? Edit the post and remove any mention of NDA. It is not something to be toyed with or challenged. Please take it from me, I've worked in video game QA for about 7 to 8 years and I've seen what happens to people who break NDA. It is not pretty, it can literally end your career and hurt possible future careers and overall ruin you.

Can't break an NDA that you newer agreed to

You guys are missing the point I think. I'm perfectly fine with them having an NDA on the media tour. I get it. What I'm wondering is why is it that people are not allowed to say WHEN they can reveal information.

Because that is most likely a part of the NDA. Or they were most likely asked not to and they are honoring the request.

As for that: I remember Yoshi saying "at the end of the month" during the last PLL. There are 2 days left (using JP time. Because we all know they'll get to be the first ones to release the info), so...

As I mentioned in my first post, there isn't a specific reason that applies to all cases. Most of the times, it just comes down to a corporate decision, and each publisher has different ideas on this. Some will tell you to spam it as much as possible on social media to tease readers, some to keep quiet.

*sigh* I wish the embargo would lift already. Supposedly it's supposed to be lifted by the end of the month, but it's already the 30th. T_T; Though I do live in Taiwan so it's still the 29th back in the States...
