Support NeoGAF

[Kouriozan]

I would be OK with this, not too hot about this game for now.

 

[The Last One]

two gamestops fighting for information supremacy.....only one will win......we all lose

It's a battle!

The question is did he talk to the manager in the know. Check back next day for the daily XV drama right here on Neogaf!

Spoiler

I'm sorry.

Can't wait, this is getting interesting. Who will loose credibility? Random source on twitter or unknown website?

FF XV is already fun!

 

[Asd202]

Neo patch was mandatory for late-September games, too. They'd have to deliver at least a basic Neo patch anyway.

To be fair that may have changed. It's an old document.

 

[Ishida]

Man, watch this game slip into early 2017 lmao. Maybe they'll avoid Persona 5 and release it in March 2017.

They don't need to avoid Persona.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I never thought I'd see noct so broken lol.

It's crushing to the soul.

 

[ViciousDS]

I wouldn't call that confirmed, all of this was a leak, Corporate isn't going to confirm it to some brick and mortar store toady. They'll wait for their agreed-upon date to announce it.

pretty much, buddy was a manager at a GS and corporate just drops shit on it with little to no notice. You will know by official sources on the web half the time before the store itself does. Corporate has NDA's as well lol

 

[kennyamr]

??? Confirmed false

We will just have to wait and see what is true and what is not.

 

[Socivol]

With the prevalence of Day 1 patches one has to think whatever the issue is has to be pretty big for them to actually delay the game. I figured it would release on time and then have a Day 1 patch like almost everything else does. This makes me believe there is something fundamentally gamebreaking that they can't solve in a short amount of time.

Final Fantasy is a much bigger series then Persona so this will never happen.

 

[chozen]

I LOVE THIS RIDE.

 

[vainglorious]

Hahahahaha they spent so much money and time on Uncovered Final Fantasy 15

That's what they get for developing their game on super super super high end PC hardware and down porting it to current gen with their clusterfuck of a game engine

 

[Kieli]

What's the point of delaying for 2 months? May as well delay for an extra year if you need that extra polish, and then surprise everyone by finishing early and then releasing.

 

[sappyday]

Just imagine Tabata having to go the superiors explaining they need to delay the game 2 months. The whole point of bringing him in was to ship this shit from Nomura's sorry ass state.

Have you played the demos???!

They wouldn't confirm if you called. This is obvious.

 

[Kaizer]

They don't need to avoid Persona.

They need to for my sake lol! Couldn't imagine trying to dive into two JRPGs at the same time, I want wide breathing room for both of these games.

Can't say I'd trust that although I'd like for it to be true.

 

[sappyday]

Have you played the demos???!

The demos run fine especially for the Platinum one being made by only two employees. Duscae was from last year.

 

[Socivol]

Have you played the demos???!

I have I really enjoyed Duscae....Platinum...not so much but I think that had to do with the control configuration.

 

[Kagari]

Why do you keep posting stuff cut from the game?

 

[kennyamr]

If I had to guess I'd say that it's still releasing on September 30. In fact I'm certain the date hasn't changed and that the rumor is false, but that's just me.

Now if true, well it's a bummer of course but I guess I can wait another few weeks...

They will make me feel better if they announce that Nov 29 is the date for the Neo patch... please?

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Just give us A King's Tale for free during those two extra months and all will be forgiven, SE.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Is Gamescom this weekend?

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Hope that means the combat would be much better than what they've shown so far, but I'm pretty sure they won't change the combat system.

 

[Warnen]

if true hope PSN offer a refund like they did with no man sky (think they auto do it if a game is delayed). To much other stuff out in that window, might as well wait for a sale.

 

[Squire]

The game is what it is. This would be just be optimization time. Two months is a nice valuable chunk of time for something like that.

 

[The Last One]

Is Gamescom this weekend?

Yes, it starts on wednesday.

Edit: Oh sorry, you said weekend. Then swap the first word for No. =p

 

[Boke1879]

Well, having that huge event to announce the release day and, generate a ton of hype plus having a big movie releasing next week in select theaters and on digital at the end of the month was supposed to be a sign SE had finally gotten the game in place. But now this...

and people will still buy the game. Many games offer release dates only to miss them. Sometimes 2 and 3 times! By this logic UC4 should have been a flop.

Delays suck. Don't get me wrong, but if it produces a better game that's a win for everyone.

Sorry if this has been posted already, but Sam Machkovech from Ars Technica called this at E3:

In really, really bad news, my demo crashed. A lot. In fact, I couldn't complete the game's first chapter due to a bug so crippling that my game hard-locked in a way that kept popping up when my system was restarted. As a result, I'm laying down a bet: if Final Fantasy XV makes its late-September launch date without a constant stream of game-breaking bugs, I will record myself eating... something gross (readers will be able to choose in a poll). That is how confident I am that Final Fantasy XV will not launch both on time and optimized.

[Ketaya]

Is Gamescom this weekend?

Nah, next week starting on wednesday.

 

[Sandfox]

What if this new date ends up being when the Neo launches?

 

[MaximumSpider]

Guess I won't be buying Yo-Kai Watch 2 then lmao

 

[DPtheGod]

Did they define GameStop management? Don't really see this being true in the realms of a GameStop source leaking. Hope the delay itself isn't true..

 

[Koozek]

Is Gamescom this weekend?

Next week, 18-21st.

He already boasted about it in this thread .

 

[Walpurgis]

Take all of the time that you need Square. I haven't been feeling too good about the game lately so I am happy about this delay.

 

[PK Gaming]

They don't need to avoid Persona.

If anything, Atlus would kill for this opportunity

 

[Celcius]

lol, everyone thought they were finally going to play it at long last. Buckle up for another 10 years baby!

*hopes it got delayed to add Neo-mode*

 

[7DollarHagane]

whats another few months

get the framerate locked to 30

 

[10k]

Why do you keep posting stuff cut from the game?

They can't let it go.

LOL nice, didn't want to dig through 12 pages for it.

 

[Ray Down]

Yeah, honestly if its true it sounds like they just need more time for optimization.

Hell ND was able to get TLOU running on the PS3 to where they thought it was playable in 2 weeks.

What if this new date ends up being when the Neo launches?

Maybe, I'm honestly surprise a date hasn't been leaked.

 

[Boke1879]

All this should tell SE is to never fucking try and use an experimental engine EVER again. Clearly they can't handle it. Just stick to UE.

Hm, I find it hard to picture a mere two-month delay giving them enough time to fix something like that if it wound up carrying over into the final game.

 

[deriks]

They don't need to avoid Persona.

My dumb guess is that people in Japan are more interested in Persona

Several big games got delayed this year for extra polishing; Uncharted 4, Mass Effect, etc.
