[The Last One]

June 1st is a wednesday so probably a placeholder. But now I believe that FF XV is really gonna be a summer release.

 

[Damerman]

They been working on it for like 10 years

why bother posting in this thread?

 

[notaskwid]

Mainline Final Fantasy typically launches worldwide correct? I think as long Persona 5 doesn't launch too close to FFXV everything should be okay. Persona 5 isn't launching worldwide and I can see it launching in Japan around that same timeframe. August at the earliest for the states.

No. That being said, this one should have a worldwide release or close to it.

 

[serenewarfare]

They have? Last they stated (before the delay), Atlus USA outright said that Persona 5 wouldn't be released simultaneously in NA and Japan. I wouldn't be too optimistic about the possibility.

They've said conflicting things. Atlus USA has said both yes and no regarding a simultaneous release, so it's always been unclear. I'm by no means sure of simultaneous release, but it's also not certain that it won't be. If there's one thing we know about Atlus USA it's that nothing they say can really be taken at face value, positive or negative.

No. That being said, this one should have aa worldwide release or close to it.

agreed, no way isn't this going to be a worldwide release.

 

[Chilikar]

Games in Japan don't really have a set price. It's however much the publisher is willing to charge.

You don't find it weird that it's priced at $150? I mean we're talking about three times the normal price of games in the US. Even an upcoming game like Uncharted 4 is priced at ￥6,971

If FFXV is really priced at $150, I'm not surprised the Japanese market for console games is on the decline.

EDIT: Star Ocean's at ￥7,039. Definitely think it's a placeholder

It's probably a placeholder... Like the release date.
If not Persona 5 will sell more.

 

[notaskwid]

no way isn't this going to be a worldwide release.

A realm reborn is the only mainline I can remember having worldwide release...? But I do think XV will have, or as I've said, close to it.

Lol saw your edit.

 

[FelipeMGM]

I dont believe it, I think they made this based on that survey.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

XV has come to.

 

[Abriael]

June 1st is a very obvious placeholder.

 

[Despera]

I won't lie, I'm way more excited for the soundtrack than the game itself.

 

[Com_Raven]

June seems too soon. We don't want them to rush this game.

I am trying to think of any scenario where this game could be considered "rushed"... Nope, got nothing.

 

[Toth]

I hope it's true. But I will remain cautiously optimistic.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Please read slightly further to post 39.

Is it really not extremely obvious I was making a joke? Do I need to edit the post?

 

[TheGreatLugia]

Development completely rebooted in mid-2012 when it changed platforms and semi-rebooted in 2014 when Tabata and his team took over the project.

 

[AtomskEater]

180 Japan dollars

Anyway, I'll believe it when we get an official date. And even then I'll expect delays.

 

[Nirolak]

I'm expecting it more so around September than June so it can hit the full Fall sales season while still staying out of the way of the biggest games of the year.

 

[Bousf]

Will be surprised if it comes out in Summer, but will not complain at all if it does!

I live in Europe, so I don't have the XV-P5 dilemma because P5 will probably slide into 2017

Spoiler

2052

for these forsaken lands (I'll import the NA version, hopefully Winter next year)

But being totally honest, I'd still get XV over P5, we've been waiting.

 

[ULTROS!]

Going head-to-head with Persona 5!

Persona 5 might get moved.

I won't be surprised if it suddenly gets moved to a vague "Spring 2017" release date or something.

 

[Flandy]

Release it on its 10th anniversary :lol

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I'm expecting it more so around September than June so it can hit the full Fall sales season while still staying out of the way of the biggest games of the year.

I suppose the problem is the uncertainty of when these big games will release.

Plus the unannounced mammoth games such as Ass Creed, Battlefield, Destiny 2, Watchdogs 2?? etc...

I won't be surprised if it suddenly gets moved to a vague "Spring 2017" release date or something.

Haha, that would be mad, too mad infact!

Winter 2014
Winter 2015
Summer 2016

They have to stick to that. Massive delay.

 

[Shifty1897]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD 18,000 yen is 150 US DOLLARS.

Please tell me a ps4 game doesn't run that much in Japan...

EDIT: Should've read the thread. Thanks, GAF.

Same here. I've got two weeks off for the Euros in June, if FFXV launched then it would be a dream two weeks.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Expecting sept to be honest.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

yep, September XV, December P5.

 

[Superlosia]

Expecting sept to be honest.

Hmm idk. I'm thinking Persona will come out September for NA. FFXV oct-nov for NA.

 

[iBlue]

I am not into FF but this and the new remake look so good.

 

[JeffZero]

September for FFXV. November for Mass Effect Andromeda.

Hyperion.

 

[Nirolak]

Battlefield and Assassin's Creed are always late October or November.

Destiny is probably September.

Unsure for Watch Dogs.

 

[ackl]

Well...they did say that the first half is more or less "retail" polished and so polishing the second half in 6 months is probably reasonable. Maybe I am starting to believe....

Then again there's also localization, which Tabata said is the main reason the game is taking a bit longer than expected to release....soooo.....yeahhh...

 

[Kagari]

June 1st is a Wednesday. This listing is fake, son.

 

[injurai]

You mean concept art has been sitting around that long.

 

[KupoNut]

Pretty sure that's a generic Summer placeholder.Don't think we'll see it until September the earliest

 

[Izana]

1. The seller is a third party who's posted a listing on Amazon Japan, not Amazon themselves.
2. The edition being sold is European. Check the details section: PEGI: Unknown
3. As Kagari mentioned, June 1 is a Wednesday. Games are usually released in Japan on Thursdays, and mainline FFs have always been released on Thursdays.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Indeed son. Not actually expecting it to hit on the specified date, but perhaps a June/July release is a realistic possibility given recent news.

 

[Goodacre0081]

free FFXIV theme to go with this news. great Amano artwork too

[HanzSnubSnub]

It's a Festivus Miracle!

Spoiler

Seems like a placeholder date. Wouldn't put too much faith into it.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Seems fitting. June was when it was initially announced and it'll have been 10 years.

I just can't believe it's really happening.

 

[Bladenic]

FF15 isn't considered one of the biggest games of the year?

But I can understand avoiding competition.

 

[Turin]

I'm predicting August for fun.

 

[benzy]

Kagari knows the release date, and already said it's not July.

If you're not expecting it to do 7+ million in the West, no.

This party has been pooped.

Merry Christmas!

 

[DrunkShogun]

I will welcome it when it comes out with an unbiased opinion. Shimomura has been the main selling point of this game for me.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

March almost here.. We will know soon enough.

Maybe its June

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

From a sales expectations standpoint, no.

The usual FF ballpark of 5-7 million, whilst very, very respectable, doesn't get the series a seat at the big boys table.

However, we may see the biggest marketing investment for XV in an attempt to get a seat on the table.

Stop holding out on us

The party was pooped when I noticed the seller isn't even Amazon Japan!
