Final Fantasy XV Delayed Two Months and Day-One Patch Confirmed

Rumors have been spreading about Final Fantasy XV's delay, today Square Enix has confirmed all of them to be true. Final Fantasy XV will now release on November 29th.

According to Square Enix more time is required to polish and test the game. After ten years of waiting another 2 months won't hurt. After all how many of us are still waiting for Half Life 3, Beyond Good & Evil 2, and Kingdom Hearts 3?

The delay won't affect the digital release of Kingsglaive, the prequal animated movie. However a date for the physical release is still up in the air. This goes double for the multi-part anime Brotherhood. In a video, the link in the bottom of the article, game director Hajime Tabata explained about delay and day-one patch.

"Our objective with Final Fantasy XV was to deliver a Final Fantasy of the highest possible quality, to every single person who buys the game. We have completed the maste rversion, but when it comes ot that highest possible quality, we felt that we had not quit reached this standard yet. Accordingly, in order to make this master version an even better product, we have been creating a downloadable add-on known as a patch."

"This has been worked on with the intention of releasing it on the same day the game comes out, so it would be what people call a "day one patch". However, a patch is not something that can be applied by all players who have bought the game. It is impossible to provide this patch to everyone who plays without connecting their games machine to the internet. On top of that, the day one patch has pretty substantial content in it, but to me it feels as though it is still one step away from that truly ultimate quality we are striving for."

Final Fantasy XV will launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC November 29th.

Personal Take: I'm crying on the inside.
