Hopefully, they are not crunching their employees that much :c
Ideally not at all! But this industry...

i was checking the main series
XV got delayed
XIV released on time
XIII got delayed
XII got delayed
XI i think got release on time
X got delayed
IX and before that i cand find much information
And i wish they did
i just readed the article i cant remember the dates and announcements and stuff
Choosing April 10th seems super sketchy - like why then? Why not choose a date in a month that is far less stacked?
I don't think the FF7 remake has to worry anything about sales.The delay itself isn't that bad really but I think pushing it back, so close to Cyberpunk's release is a very iffy idea, even with this being a huge profile title. I wonder if what the delay was needed for was something that couldn't be addressed with an update, or something related to financial reasons since it's pushing it right out of the fiscal year.
Either way, I think it's going to cut into some sales putting it up against CP2077, not to mention other big games coming out right in that period like RE3 as well. April this year already had way too many things packed into it and this isn't going to help it.

If anything FFX got the opposite of a delay. It was initially scheduled to release (in the US) in January 2002. Then it got bumped up to Monday, December 24th, then bumped up again, wisely, to December 17th, where it actually hit shelves.
To be honest I'm more looking forward to FF X than the remake, some of the new characters like that samurai guy and the blue lion, look really cool. Looking forward to exploring Zhanarkhand, looks absolutely massive!
one day i will become a blitzballTo be honest I'm more looking forward to FF X than the remake, some of the new characters like that samurai guy and the blue lion, look really cool. Looking forward to exploring Zhanarkhand, looks absolutely massive!
I'm sure blitzball will be a cool optional, they can't expect eveyrone to learn its rules in the middle of the journey lol.
yeah idk if the articles are right, its hard to fact check old news, to much effort for thatWeird. I was following the game very closely at the time (was even a mod on a Squaresoft fan forum at the time, lol) and I don't recall that at all.
I mean, the game made it's re-appearance (it went dark after the Jan 2000 Millennium Conference) in Famitsu in like late Jan/early February 2001. I don't think it was ever scheduled for March, so Gamespot was likely pulling that out of their ass. We didn't even see the first real gameplay footage of FFX (Besaid Island, Tsushida's battle system, Valefor summon) until E3 2001, which was mid-May back then. It then released July, a mere year after FFIX.
So if Gamespot is correct (I doubt it), it was a VERY hushed delay.

Did this thread just become a proxy for a Cyberpunk vs FFVIIR argument?
Next year they might as well put the RE4 remake against the Parasite Eve remake.Oh god we're going to have a mainline Resident Evil game releasing the same time as a major SQEX title again (and this time, both remakes).
now that i think about it how sick would be a parasite eve remake in the same style of re2/3 remake but with rpg mechanicsNext year they might as well put the RE4 remake against the Parasite Eve remake.
Why not? They're both big RPGs that release the same month that take place in a sprawling dystopian metropolis.It's a really weird freakin' argument that shouldn't exist. At all. Ever.
I can kind of get it. It's kind of a more specific JRPG vs WRPG argument. They have some similar themes and cityscapes. FFVII's Midgar section has even been described as kind of Cyberpunk. That said, it does feel like some people are bringing up arguments from years ago to stir the pot a bit. I feel like the next thing I'm gonna read is that it looks like a FFXV clone.It's a really weird freakin' argument that shouldn't exist. At all. Ever.
This is my biggest worry. FFVIIR has less than ideal sales due to a bad release date, and then the rest of the series is either scaled down or scrapped. Perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid.Cyberpunk is definitely the game that the mainstream audience would choose if they had to pick between getting FF7 and that.
Hope this doesn't hurt FF7's sales too much which could then impact the future parts.

Ah, brings back bittersweet memories of the original FFVII JP getting delayed from Dec 1996 to Jan 1997.
Edit: For the guy who was wondering about pre-X releases, VIII and IX were not delayed.
FFVII is made by you know who, remember? From the creators who brought us FFXIII and XV vs the creators OF THE WITCHER 3. Like come on
Next year they might as well put the RE4 remake against the Parasite Eve remake.
Releasing a AAA title literally right in the middle between the releases of two other AAA titles - one of which is poised to do far better financially [Cyberpunk 2077] is not a smart business move and that's how economics works👍
If anything, this eases up on some more intense crunch.Sad for the team making the game. That's just that much more crunch :[
I would like to believe this, but I don't. The crunch doesn't stop until the game ships, if ever. I think there's always more to do and they will stay under the gun.
