While you listen to this gorgeous song again, hopefully you can contain your possible sorrows, as it appears Final Fantasy XV may be getting a delay into November 29th.

Word comes from a Gamenesia claim, stating that a source within GameStop management tipped the website off to the delay. Promotional materials have reportedly arrived at some GameStop stores with instructions that they are not to be put up until after August 14.

Hopefully they continue to refine some of the mechanics, as it is easily one of the most anticipated RPG's of this year.

UPDATE: It has now been confirmed, the game is delayed to November 29th.

Let's hope it got delayed for a buggy steam port.

PC port, or bust, I'm still not buying a PS4

Yea, i still want a pc port, but i feel itll be at least a year....

Just another excuse not to say "we want to exploit zero-piracy console release first then double dip with the unlocked PC version so you'll buy the same game twice". They are doing the same with XII remake too.

Remaster =/= Remake

Final Fantasy XII was originally released on PS2 since 2006. It's been ten years since it was first released. Not everyone has had the chance to play the game nor owned a PS2 nowadays. Most of the FF games have already been ported to PC and is available more than ever before. Not everyone owns a PS4/XB1 and it's their money to buy what they want. If they want to buy the same game twice, let them. It's their own decision.

I was referring to the "PS4/console first" thing, and your argument only reinforces mine. Let people decide where to get it instead of always being silent about the mandatory PC version hoping that some very small group of impulse buyers caves in. That makes them look desperate especially when they've been doing this consistently ever since after XIII.

LOL, the keyword that Final Fantasy has been aiming to tackle to appeal to angsty teenagers.

Don't take me wrong though, I'm quite looking forward to XV, specially for the gameplay promise.

Thread updated, it was delayed after all

 

[T-hug]

I'm gutted but it's not too long, least I can just focus on deus ex now.

 

[Kioku]

Meh. What's new?

 

[rikumax25!]

I was fine with the delay until he said that he was thinking of doing patches and dlc anyways, at which point the whole reason behind the delay fell apart.

DLC has been known since july anyways. Each expands on the character's friends back stories, adds addtion monsters and side quest. They are about 7.00 dollars each or all 6 for 30.

Now I can take my exams without distraction. The original release date coincides with the "study week". :X

Bug fixes and enhancements are always welcome!

 

[Leo121]

Don't have a PS4 but I'm glad it's still coming. People need to get over the delay. I bought a PS3 for Versus XIII and I'm hoping a PC port will eventually come.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

That should explain this "Joke" they pulled at the eventView attachment 58940

Joke is on you, it says NOV 30 The announced date is NOV 29

 

[Madridi]

The official SE store NA website now shows the new date as well

 

[Luckkill4u]

Well since the game was being developed for over a decade I think delaying it a couple months could do a lot for the game /sarcasm

[Skelletonike]

Eh... Honestly it's one game I don't care much about, I'm much more hyped about DQXI. <3

 

[HaloEliteLegend]

Watch their announcement video if you haven't (embedded in the original post). He seemed quite sincere, and the reasoning behind it was just. I welcome this delay if it means a better game for everyone. I like the new open and honest stance Square seems to be taking nowadays. It seems they're treating this game with great respect.

Perhaps it's also better for their sales. It'll be right after Black Friday, where many people will have bought brand new PS4s and Xbox Ones, no doubt anticipating FFXV. It'll position the game to drop right before other titles dropping in December and be the first thing new PS4 and Xbox One owners purchase this holiday season. Smart decision if that's what they were going for.

This game is going to be teh gayzorz anyway.

I just read that the ultimate J-cuck, Tetsuya Nomura, left development of FFXV... haha! are you kidding me?! This hack destroyed the IP and is now acting like he has nothing to do with it despite his awful character design remaining dominant in the next main entry?

Dude...

All of my kek

Spoiler

Cool, as long as it has a clean release with no bugs

Kinda impossible for them to discover all bugs and glitches, but I know what you mean.

 

[Deleted User]

That display artwork made me laugh. top kek.

I would rather have a good game than a rushed buggy mess.
