I guess that makes sense, & I actually kinda appreciate it. I'm already running out of hard drive space on my PS4.So they are basically delaying it because they have a substantial patch and while they could release it at the former release date in its current state, they want everyone to have the patched game, even those without Internet.
Hey, can't say I'm disappointed. That's looking out for all your customers.
Though it would be a shame if the game had a bad performance even when it gets the patched version.
We kindly ask for your understanding
And at Atlus, there was great rejoicing.
I'm not hoping for a PC version this year, but I assume Gamescom will have plenty of softening
Gamescom trailer where??!?

Christ. This, Gravity Rush 2, South Park and Dead Rising all in 1 week. Goddammit, the original date was perfect for me.
Summary of the Tabata statement from the video:
- FFXV went gold the other day, and that was planned to be the version they ship on Sept 30.
- That version of the game will be playable at Gamescom, and they are cutting a 30 minute gameplay video to be released on Aug 16 showcasing the performance of that version.
- They planned a massive Day One Patch for the game which would further polish the game and fix lingering issues.
- But they have decided that instead of pressing the current gold master and delivering a day one patch, they will instead wait and use that completed version as the final gold master.
- Hence the game will be delayed to Nov 29, but they will be adding even more stuff on top of the planned fixes of the day one patch.
tl;dr - The game is delayed because they believe not everyone has internet connectivity and they don't want them to be left out of the perfect FFXV experience when the game ships to stores.
which is something a lot of gaffers should love..I mean there are so many complains every time a big D1 patch hits. Looking out for the fans and making sure your retail version includes the big d1 patch so even if the servers every go down you can re-play the game with it.Summary of the Tabata statement from the video:

Tabata is seriously a humble AF dude. I'm ok now with waiting a bit more. Also 30 min of footage can hold me too.
Yeah I have no illusions about that, it was just a joke between me and Ghost since we both think not having a sim release is gonna cost them a lot of cash.
The whole "games are good when they are delayed" is complete bullocks though. Remember Watch_Dogs? Remember Duke Nukem? Remember Mighty No. 9? Delays mean the product's having trouble coming together and they need more time. It should more be like "Games are slightly less unfinished when they are delayed."
What's this day one patch people are bringing up and why would it take 2 months to apply?
