True. Plus if I remember correctly, Nomura and the other people making this game did say that there were looking into multiplayer elements so that might take a little bit more time.
....or was I just misreading things?
Nah, you're spot on. Going by Comrades in XV (which has a lot of really great elements) I think multiplayer elements will be standard for big FF releases in the future as well. I look forward to it, been wanting co-op mainline Final Fantasy games since I was small.
I also think you're right that there's a good chance they'll fiddle with the releases, perhaps tweaking or even changing the episodic formula. Nothing's certain about this game until the next time we see it, but your suggestion seems likely to me.
