Zero problem with this. Persona 5 is out next month and I was dreading the idea of having to split time between the two games.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

 

[AAMARMO]

Stand By Me.

 

[wmlk]

Oh well. Always impartial to stuff like this.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Why must my dreams be crushed?

 

[udivision]

Do 2017 so I can be right pls.

The Vindication must happen!
Crow will not be eaten until the final hour!

 

[Dawg]

All these delays are sacrifices needed for The Last Guardian to finally release.

 

[Quonny]

Seems like an odd day to release it, a Thursday. Feels placeholder-y.

Assuming it's true, mind you.

November 29th is a Tuesday.

 

[jiggle]

Why would they miss out on thanksgiving by a week?

 

[Geg]

They can't delay this game.

They had an event revolved around its release date. It already had a reputation for delays and they promised this was the absolute release date. September 30th was a fucking pinky promise, and delaying this game would be metaphorically chopping our fingers off. It's a reputation killer.

So you're saying they'd be shooting themselves in the foot.

 

[Ōkami]

Maybe it's delayed and in January they make a Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary Event where they say that XV will celebrate the series 30th anniversary but that they won't show it at that event.

Later that year they'll say that the Final Fantays Anniversary will last between December 2017 and December 2018 and that Final Fantasy XV will be released during that period.

Also VII won't be out in 2017 cause too much Final Fantasy.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

This is going to free up my September a bit and the game seems to be in need of more time for polishing. Still a bit disappointed though since it would have been perfect for me with the 30.9 being a Friday and the 3.10 being a national holiday here in Germany

 

[ZoddGutts]

Gotta have a big title for Neo's launch.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

If this delay is real, anyone who thinks it's because Square is scared of releasing it too close to Persona 5 is fooling themselves.

Not that P5 won't be amazing (probably), but let's be real here. Persona is not going to magically make people forget that the next big Final Fantasy game exists and is coming out very soon.

Anyway, day zero... whether that's in September or November.

 

[chozen]

Oh my... The game does still look rough tbh..

I guess they want to get it right, and that neo version but this hurts me...

Remember when Tabata did that Slot machine reveal date and it showed November? lol

2 month delay geezz...

 

[Dynasty8]

Worst gaming news of the year if true.

 

[Lunarwhale]

I think this actually just stings more because it's been 10 years. Gonna be even worse if it's just so it runs better on NEO.

Like better that it releases in a good state I guess, but between the lack of sufficient optimization and scope creep, it feels like this is never going to come out.

 

[DNAbro]

At least the movie is coming out on time right? right???

 

[KingBroly]

November 29th is a Tuesday.

I accidentally skipped and looked at December. Whatever.

 

[brandonh83]

If this is to improve performance and possibly have a Neo patch out for release I am all fucking for it.

 

[Styles]

Why is there no option for 2026?

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I hope this is false :/

Well, it's not like Square Enix doesn't care about the release of Persona 5 close to FFXV at all, going by their survey where they explicitly called it out.

 

[Nirolak]

Why would they miss out on thanksgiving by a week?

If they're delaying it now, presumably the game needs work and this isn't a strategic business move, and this is the first plausible time they thought it would be ready.

 

[Sun Bather]

Just cancel it. It was a mistake.

Give us another lightning game.

 

[Easystride]

Fine by me, gives me time to devote to Dragon Quest 7.

 

[True Fire]

So you're saying they'd be shooting themselves in the foot.

their feet are already amputated at this point

 

[donutzsick]

God please I hope this is true. September has TOO MANY games and I want plenty of time to finish persona 5

 

[Kenzodielocke]

So, Neo bundle ?

God please I hope this is true. September has TOO MANY games and I want plenty of time to finish persona 5

Like?

 

[javadoze]

Competition's too fierce. They knew they couldn't compete with Yokai Watch 2 releasing on the same day in America.

Spoiler

/s

 

[De_Legend]

Good.

 

[AAMARMO]

Sweet Little Lies

 

[SuperChoco]

Fall 2017 it is then!

Spoiler

Square please release it before then.

 

[ViciousDS]

watch this.......November 29th



is the day Neo launches, it avoids the insanity that is thanksgiving and allows OG PS4 insanity deals before new stock of a new console

 

[Athreous]

Please, make it be fake!

 

[SoulUnison]

Just cancel it. It was a mistake.

Give us another lightning game.

So edgy.

 

[RangerBAD]

Seems like an odd day to release it, a Thursday. Feels placeholder-y.

Nah, it's a Tuesday, but September 30th is a Friday.

[Voror]

A tad disappointing, but if the time makes the game better then that's fine. I'm sort of with Kagari that maybe more time than that is needed. It does rather look bad when they had this whole event for the release date.

Actually, wasn't the joke that it landed on 11/30 before jumping to 9/30? One day off from that if accurate.

 

[luminous]

The worst of times for me to play stuff thanks squenix

 

[NoctisVsStar]

UC4 benefited from a delay.. So if we get a Neo bundle in Nov I could convince myself to be okay with this.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Take your time to polish up your product Square Enix.

I'm still very excited!

 

[baberunisei]

Then I'm gonna start playing Dragon Quest VII. And of course that means I'm only gonna be able to start FFXV in 2017.

 

[Yabberwocky]

Considering the insane amount of games that are coming out in the back end of the year, between September and November especially, I'd really be okay with them pushing the release date back. It'd be great to savour FFXV throughout December. More time to spend with Persona 5, too.

 

[somecrazymember]

More exposure to TLG and World of Final Fantasy so thats good

 

[Twookie]

oh my god please SE

i'm crumbling

 

[Donthizz#]

probably because of neo, maybe.

 

[Audioboxer]

Neo patch day one

This is all I can think as it makes it easier.

No squirming out of it now Square, Sony don't care that you planned a release, you delayed it. Neo patch day 1.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Lol didn't they have a big event to announce the release date.

I'm almost inclined to believe this considering the I have a feeling that Tabata is ready to jump out a window.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I bet it needs more time than that.
