I believe the delay is real, but I don't see it being pushed into 2017.

Holy shit, this is pretty!
Well this was produced in July so they probably wouldn't have known about a delay at that time.

Got em!
Edit - As a heads up GameStop puts up marketing with old dates all the time. Usually corporate will send out a memo to cover up the date until a new sticker is sent to put over the old date

I mean... not exactly a delay, and this is kind of true in a way, but Versus XIII cancellation? lol

Tamaki from Unseen64 and his Star Fox Zero shenanigans are the only thing that come to mind.

Well.. I know you said you can't confirm with certainty but this is pretty much a done deal.
I can't think of one either, but sooner or later one has to be false. If it's this one? We'll see.
A recent one would be some stores listing Dragon Quest VII for a November launch and some employees saying that they got told that the release date was changed (like FFXV, the game releases next month, so there would be a 2 month delay). The game ended up not being delayed.

I feel like almost every substantial rumor this year ended up being true. It wouldn't surprise me if the game really did get a delay, I'm at the point where I'm just expecting it.

I'm getting the feeling that this whole rumour is a troll.
And even that was already flimsy as hell, considering he claimed that they were going to make the decision to delay it after the Nintendo Direct.

Yeah, Tamaki's sources have always been 50/50 at best (unlike others, he's not an insider himself, he just apparently knows a few people), but that whole situation took the cake for implausibility and blew up in his face almost immediately. It's no wonder all his rumours are banned here now.

listen to the mad man
is it possible, based on your username, that you are just a crazy person projecting?
Whats that Miyamoto quote about a delayed game being good, while rushed game being forever bad.
The devs can take all the time they need, want a polished game there are many other games to play during the wait.
EDIT: Found the quote
“A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.”

PS4 version = Neo version
They're the same disc, it just works better on a Neo.
But that's what I thought too.
If the delay happens, I can play it the first time with Neo the way it was intended. So I'm not that sad.

We did the same for uncharted as well.

So disappointing. September was perfect for a release window, there's nothing really coming out then and this year has been soooooooo dry for good big open-world rpgs. We haven't had one since Fallout 4 last year.
Was really looking forward to digging into this next month.
Financially speaking, it was an incredible date for it. Assassins Creed, Destiny 2, and Mass Effect were all delayed. Now its releasing in a month with Mega sellers, and after Black Friday.
Square Enix would not have delayed this game if they didnt care a great deal about the quality of it.
and they better care about the quality. If the game is technical mess that would be a goddamn disaster for a game this long in dev.

Completely anecdotal and without anything to back my claim but... Friend of mine who is a banker has a client who is manager GS. Said he stopped into the store and the manager showed him the new promo material that corroborates the rumor. Wasn't allowed a picture though.
Yep it was a perfect date for sales.
Let me be happy, dammit!

Has this been picked up by any major publications yet?
If so, and there is no immediate denial from SE, that would say a lot IMO.
It's kinda like in sports if a rumor comes out that Player X broke his leg and ESPN picks up on the rumor, if it isn't true, the team would come out and deny it immediately. Because with social media, rumors spread like wildfire these days.
Companies tend not to make a big deal out of small rumors from small sites, otherwise they'd have to make a million denials a year based on false reports. But if IGN or Gamespot picks up on the rumor and SE doesn't make an official denial immediately, then it's probably true.

Well, if you banker friend isn't lying or blind it is true then.*sigh*

Yall should really stop end using that miyamoto quote forever. Its played out, and probably was only for one game that he was associated with. Delayed games be bad too.

I think anyone would be. But the waiting sucks and also no guarantee that it will indeed actually release in November sucks too. Hell it might not even release this year anymore.
Lol, since the friend on the beginning of that chain of friends isn't really your friend anymore he might be lying to you about the rest of friends. Just saying.

An alleged gamestop manager on Twitter pasted this week's shipments of standees. If this embargo thing was August 14th the cardboard cutouts going up this week don't reflect the new date.
The tweet was deleted so I posted it to my account.

I don't know why people quoting that (if it's even accurate). A delayed game isn't eventually good. It has a chance to be good but it can also still be bad anyway.
