Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is almost here. SE is giving us a different game to play instead.

["Rumor"] Final Fantasy XV Delayed to November 29 [Up: Photo evidence]

Because they were probably sure the game would be ready. I mean why would any game announce a release date and then have to delay. Let's not get crazy. I guess it's the cool thing to shit on SE but they've honestly been turning things around.
We get world of FF, and other games from them. If they need more time they need it.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I was kind of looking forward to playing it exactly a year after MGSV
I think it stars a chick name cat.
It's releasing after Black Friday/Cyber Monday. It's being sent to die, a day after FFXV or not.

2 months should be enough for improved performance, I'd think.
This. People just trying to find something to not get salty as fuck about the delay lmao
Tabata is a wash because he delayed the game by 2 month? Then what are other devs delayed their game for even longer (Persona 5 for example, but also many other).
It's a better decision than releasing it unpolished.
I agree with people that I prefer them to delay the game if it is still unfinished, but it is just so annoying that they would give a definitive date for this game if they weren't completely sure. Look at Sony's TLG: they refused to give anything more than a release year to avoided delay disappointment. SE should have handed it that way until they knew for 100 percent when it'd be ready. That's my gripe with this delay.
People who want a big-scale JRPG in a beloved series are probably not interested in the Deus Ex games. I know I'm not.
You want them to take a beating for potentially making a better game. Yet I'm sure you'd be just as upset if the game launched with problems.
and no the only people that think this game is a joke are people on message boards. Generally public doesn't give a shit. If they are interested in it they'll pick it up.
Again people said the same shit after the 3rd Uncharted 4 delay. It didn't stop people from being hyped.

I don't see how that matters at all. Development was rebooted for this game in 2012, and has had steady development and has now gotten it's first delay. It's true that Square-Enix screwed up and twiddled their thumbs for 6 years with Versus but I don't see how that matters here.

Square got massively arrogant with its marketing campaign. This game will bomb solely because they spent too much trying to grab broad appeal for a game in a niche genre.
As cliché as it sounds but:
Preorder of Deluxe Edition cancelled.
I was so waiting for that great experience to first watch the Kingslglaive blu-ray on the 30th and then play the game. Now I'm going to watch Kingsglaive somewhere else before and buy the normal game edition when it comes out...if it comes out. Less great experience for me, less money for SE.

They're kind of shmucks too, especially since like with Atlus they kept quiet for so ridiculously long.
But at least most other devs don't do a release date event like SE did. Totally laughable now.

Not doubting, but it took a whole day to get a tiny photo of one page of a pamphlet, could have shown us the rest of it, just so it is undeniable.
Gravity Rush's potential audience is so small that Black Friday doesnt really matter. I doubt that game was going to break 100k in any month.

Lmfao. Thank you for this.
huh? What in gods name does this have to do with anything that's being discussed?

Technically there was no release date before, but come on....this game has been effectively delayed for a very long time and development was apparently restarted. This is just a brief further delay, it'll be in your hands in November.
Delays which aren't just for marketing reasons are totally fine. If they need more time to make a better game, the end result is good for us.
I've waited more than 10 years, I can wait another 2 months.

Final Fantasy XV november 29th
Gravity Rush 2 november 30th
This is the real travesty.
In terms of polishing up perfromance? A fuckton. Have you not seen some games after patches before?
It won't bomb. It's a mainline Final Fantasy. Now, it won't sell 10 million copies or whatever they want it to sell, but I think people believed that before.

November will be here, and people will still say the game looks like shit, gameplay sucks yada yada yada and they'll want SE to push it back another 2 months.

Things WERE locked in stone at the time. They did not lie about the date any more than Neil Druckmann lied that Uncharted 4 would be out in holiday 2015. Game development is hard. Shit happens at the last minute that nobody could have ever predicted. The tiniest of changes can produce the most massive and wide-spreading of glitches.
I think frustration is a-okay, but criticizing a developer for trying to make a more polished thing seems counterproductive. That's just me though.

They spent a lot of money to announce a release that that's now going to be missed.

It definately can bomb in relative terms what is expected of a mainline FF. I expect it to ship millions less than XIII.

Wonder if that's for the extra 10k they decided to sell more of the UCE.
Arrogant? The Uncovered event basically consisted of "sorry for all these past years of disappointing the fans, here's our new game and we really believe in it". If you're saying that they are arrogant because of the transmedia universe marketing, then I just don't know what to say that I haven't repeated here over and over.

The fact that people are already forgetting that they announced more than just a release date at the event is proof that in 10 years, nobody will care that they had to wait an extra two months.
