A delay is always a good thing.
As for Gravity Rush 2, I wouldn't mind if that was also pushed back. I'm dying to play it but I want the game to sell well just as much.

SE offices right now:
Can't really knock that.
Thanks, Kagari.
I can totally understand the decision, but I imagine it wasn't an easy one. Funny thing is, recently I've been thinking about day-one patches and how it makes the original discs pretty much useless if you want to play the game when the servers are shut down in 10-20 years or so, or well, for those who don't have an internet connection (though, I wonder, how many potential FFXV players don't have any kind of connection?).
As I said so many times before, in the end no one even remembers delays. Nobody ever talks about Witcher 3 or Uncharted 4's 2-3 months delays for polishing anymore.

30min of abusing animals in duscae
If that 30 minute demo is in Duscae primarily I might have to kill myself. I've had enough god damn Duscae.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm already kind of over it.
But if this game doesn't acquire above a 92 on Metacritic I'll raise hell

Yep. Huge day one patches are expecially a problem for someone like me who has slow internet. I hate how it's becoming a trend.

that's never going to happen
It's in that desert region. The car will however be broken again... .__. But on the bright side there will also be Cindy again...

I'd laugh so hard if it's MORE Duscae.

So, they planned to introduce a PS4 Neo Mode from the start. Good, good...

The master copy would satisfy most people, Tabata said. I don't think people who are offline would have high standards for issues normally fixed in patches. Delaying a game for everyone for 2 months with their stated reason is a bit weird.
I hope that this delay improves the well-being of the developers on the final stretch.

So, the game is finished, but they decided to delay in order to have no day one patch? That's weird... Still, this gives me time to play ROTR, so I'll just shift the planning around. Shame the game had to be delayed, but whatever. This does give me time for WOFF and Skyrim: there's enough to play!
Also the whole "adding some extra things" bit makes me believe with the additional time it'll allow them to throw in some even if minor stuff that might've been cut originally.

All is good.
May just be me, but I kind of read that whole video along the lines of being aimed at PS4 Neo owners maybe more than regular console owners.
The whole day 1 patch which would have to support the Neo if it released in September turning into the Day 1 patch being on disc with support for the Neo which is a requirement for any game coming out after September.

Watch the game have a big day one patch anyway though! Probably to iron out less severe issues though
Tabata just doesn't appear to be telling the truth. It's pretty clear that the game is simply unfinished and they tried to rush it out for September 30th but didn't make it.
L Spiro said they didn't plan for it and were actually quite adverse to it. Leaks from earlier today said Sony has pressured them into it though.

This is Master Form Duscae, it'll be TOTALLY different!
The only way I'd be okay with that is if Duscae looks drastically different now compared to how it was in the demo. I'm not just talking in terms of technical, but also factors like art direction, level design, and environmental interactivity. Duscae blows hard in these aspects for me. The combination of basic field plains and marshland with occasional mountains and forests are not intriguing to explore at all when they all looked so flat and uninspired.
Already prepared for this.

Do you guys think the game will be more than 1 disc now?
I mean, without the Day One patch it's 45 GB. And IIRC PS4 games can still only hold up to 50 GB.

We'll crack the encryption and plenty of people will still have copies. Nevertheless absolutely publishers should commit to releasing patches free and usable via USB stick when the servers go off.
I find it respectable thing to do. Too often we have that "Ship it and make it run with a patch later" mentality. So whenever a dev pushes the game for that I have nothing but respect. It really should just be something that is done but we don't live in an era like that anymore.
I have no problem waiting two months personally. Have a backlog I can finally get to. Time to finally get to Ni no Kuni after all these years

Yeah, they had a brilliant spot at the end of september. That's why I don't buy the excuse: who would give up such a perfect spot just to not have a day one patch? The reason in hardly holde up imo. I'm afraid they are lying to us and just are not yet happy with the final product, so they need more time (which is fine if necessary, if a bit of a joke seeing as they had been very coy about the release date).
Edit: Tabata literally says this. Hé mentioned that although the day one patch would raise thr quality, it is still not that final quality they are hoping for. This makes sense, as a delay of two months would be unnecessary just to add the content of post gold content to the disc.

Neo mode could be possible.
I can respect that.
Nah, The Witcher 3 big patch was like 20 GBs and rewrote a lot of assets and stuff, they can do the same. If they are competent enough, that is (spoiler alert: I highly doubt it)

Until just last week it seems they planned to do this though. The newest trailer still said September 30th. And Tabata already said they plan to patch it after release so they're not separate from this mentality at all.
I really hope not :/
They have to realize it's starting to make the game seem dull, and the game's world seem smaller than it probably is.
That's respectable that they're going to do that.
BUT it makes me wonder how big this patch was gonna be.

Well if we inevitably get a better game out of it, so be it. Still got Recore and Ace Attorney coming in September!
