It was rumored in the past days that Final Fantasy XV would be delayed, and it was already confirmed by Publisher Square Enix this dealy because they ” briefed certain people on the corporate level of the retail chain GameStop that Final Fantasy XV will now come out on November 29″, this information came from a certain number of sources of Kotaku.com. This highly anticipated RPG franchise was prevoiusly scheduled for Sptember 30.
The first reports of this apparent delay was posted last night by the website Gamnesia, citing sources at GameStop.
In the website of Kotaku “was also heard from a separate GameStop source that Square has indeed briefed some people at the corporate level about the new November 29 release date. A second, non-retail source familiar with the game also confirmed the delay.”
Kotaku also made the following statement alerting the players:
“Don’t start calling 30 GameStops to try to disprove this rumor, though—most stores have not yet been briefed on the delay. Many GameStops have already received Final Fantasy XV standees showing the old September release date, with instructions to put them up Sunday night or Monday morning. Soon, they’ll likely receive stickers with the new release date.
In response to some internet skepticism, Gamnesia published this image, which matches other marketing materials Kotaku has seen, instructing GameStop employees to change the date on their Final Fantasy XV displays:”
“Before you get upset, know this: Delays are almost universally a good thing for everyone (except maybe the business people). Rumors had been floating around for a while now that Final Fantasy XV was in rough shape from a technical perspective, and two months is a huge amount of time for optimization and polish. If true, this delay will likely lead to a better game.
Square Enix did not return a request for comment.”
