I'm not denying the usefulness of delays here. Just about every major FF release has been delayed in the last 10 years, even further back if we include FFXII lol
FF XII, FF XIII, FFXV. FF XIV 1.0 was launched half-baked, bombed and was subsequently rebooted.
So yes, typical Square Enix.

This and Marvel Advengers delayed
Very bad decision square 
now what about who have preordered Deluxe and 1st Class Editions already ?
Do they been given something extra who have already paid upfront months before the release?
22nd January given date is when Square will start charging credit cards who reserved 1st class editions, will they push back card charging too by 1 month ?
needs clear updates plz.....

Is this actually likely to receive a delay? I’ve been avoiding most media and news around it.

Square just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Sony fans, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase FFVII- Remake Part 1 for either PS4 or PS5, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and un-delay FFVII Remake Part 1 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

No nothing is forgiven. The game is episodic for the love of god and it still gets delayed?! What if it was the full game? I’m sure it’s another FFXV

Should just delay it another year or 2 and include the rest of the game.
Seriously, only having Midgar is weak as fuck. That was such a tiny part of the original game, it was like the intro.
I wont be buying it till the full collection is out anyways - at a steep discount.

If they need to delay to make it better to do some final tweaking, that's no big deal and it's only a month. This would have been the perfect opportunity however to release the demo which we all know exists and is literally already uploaded to PSN, so I think it's pretty poor form of them to not do so.

Agreed. Would have been smart to release the demo to soften the blow of the delay tbh

To be fair Sony doesn't really have much to do with this. They are neither developing nor publishing. They just paid Square to not release it on other platforms for a year.
I would imagine that whatever exclusive time they paid for will start counting when the game actually releases.
So sadly, I imagine the other version will also be effected.

This is disappointing. However, if it makes for a better game I don't really care.
This is especially strange considering the demo situation. So the demo leaked, no one acknowledged it still, and then they delay the game? Like what the hell? I think the game will be good, but from the outside it really seems like a troubled development cycle.

It is not a 1:1 remake so this is not actually true. Midgar was 5 hours long in the OG. I would bet money on the main quest alone for the remake being longer than that. There also weren't any sidequests in the original Midgar, and this is already confirmed to have multiple.
Also isn't even an accurate statement. Disc 1 ended with
Aerith's death.
So technically $120 for "Disc 1."

It's been so long since I played that I might just go ahead and restart the game. I launched it the other day and had no idea what I was doing because I forgot the controls.
