The only launch window FFXV ever had was 2016 and the only delay was for end of September to end of November.

You know what, fine, I'll take a delay (even though I've booked 2 weeks off work for the original release!) because of dual audio. I have nothing against the English dub (hell, P4's was better in my opinion), but Morgana's JP voice is perfect and Futaba is voiced by Aoi Yuuki.

Fireworks confirmed for tonight. I'm back to being hyped for this game, it's gonna be great to experience it with the original voice cast in all of its glory
Same here, I'm so fired up right now, blissful feeling. First time a delay doesn't hurt at all to me.
Is the Take your Heart edition already sold out everywhere? Can't find it from Europe.

I can wait for just over a month, there's plenty of other stuff coming out around Feb to keep me busy.

I don't quite get how dual Audio seems to be everyones assumption to why it was delayed.(should've been in day 1 anyway)

DUAL FUCKING AUDIO?! JAPANESE VOICES?!?!
THANK YOU ATLUS FOR FINALLY LISTENING.
Seriously, do not care about the delay at all because of this. The voices in SMTIVA were so unbearable to me that I turned them off completely. Glad I won't have to do that for P5 (unless the Japanese voices are also bad, which I find unlikely).

Damn it, Atlus! How'd you screw this up?!
I doubt that was the actual reason.

I want to be upset but so many good games are coming out. Glad we are getting dual audio in the states.

Excuse my ignorance, what's the dual audio for?
I know several people whose only recourse because of Atlus' historically subpar dubs for things like this (especially Persona) was to emulate the game with JP voices hacked in.
I mean seriously, XSEED's dubs are 1000 times better than Persona's with a fraction of the budget.
This just might get a bunch of sales from people who weren't going to drop money before.

Very disappointed. I'm going to buy the game regardless but the delays are starting to piss me off.

Valentines day was such a good day too
At least you guys are getting what you want. Hope it was worth it.

It's not, but it's quite the consolation prize.

The technology isn't there yet ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Also definitely am surprised they managed to get dual audio in.
Totally underestimated Atlus USA's pull. Good on them. Well done.

Yeah, I liked the Valentine's date, but I'm still okay with April.
I think Nier and Berserk come out in February, anyways.

They could have released the game and given dual audio as free DLC when that was ready, there's no way they delayed the game over a month for that.

WHAT THE FUCK.
THE GAME IS ALREADY OUT IN JAPAN.
"We don't want to rush this game,
WHY DIDN'T YOU WORK ON THE DUB EARLIER?!
ARGHHHHHHHH
I just woke up to this and am very sad and upset. :/

Im not even mad tbh.
I was already stressing out on what to play Q1 i can wait.
JP voices are real nice.

Oh well, I guess it's not that big of a delay, but wow. I'm not even mad at Atlus USA, I'm sure they're giving their all and they listened to a vocal group of fans wanting dual audio too, but Atlus JP is goddamm trash when it comes to helping with localization. I'm sure this wouldn't have happened if they threw Atlus USA a bone more often.

Ok at least i'll be able to finish Yakuza 0 and KH 2.8... but i'm still mad
I don't get it either, there's no way that would be the case.
I feel like this pretty much confirms that translation efforts towards this game probably didn't start until the Japanese version was released.
Not sure if the sentiment was that this wasn't the case before, but I personally thought, prior to this announcement, that there may have been some groundwork being put in place ahead of the game's Japanese release where Atlus USA may have had some opportunities to try to get some things localized in advance of the game's release.
It is what it is. I was originally hoping that it would come in February because that coincided best with my own personal schedule, but now it looks like I probably won't beg getting to P5 until the summer.

sucks but not that long of a delay.

Hichanbis must be an Atlus localization employee.
Why is it DLC and not on the disk?
Makes the doubling down on 2015 by Atlus USA even more of a joke.
