Final Fantasy VII Remake delayed to April 10th
- Thread starter modiz
- Start date
Maybe that is the case for some; but for a lot of people, money is the case.
I'm not "trying to be smart" regarding business savvy and economics - it's actually something I studied in college. A company as big as Square-Enix has the distinct luxury of being able to push a game as far back as it wants to and the fact that they're pushing it out of their fiscal year window says a lot about this situation.
Regarding Final Fantasy VII Remake sales, people that were planning on getting both games, but can't afford to buy 2 games in the same month now have 6 days between the 2 games to make the difficult choice of which one matters more to them.
Buying both seems like the easy solution, but not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to afford such a luxury. Not everyone can afford to do that - real life sometimes puts it's very real boot on your neck.
Square-Enix deciding on April 10th seems more like a choice, than something resembling a financially/business-motivated ultimatum and it just seems strange.
Anyway - what games have you worked on? Anything I might have played?
I don't think so. I get hyped every time I see the FFVII trailers.
Cyberpunk on the other hand fails in evoke any emotion. I don't see anything special from everything I have seen.
I am sure I have
I know you are being facetious but most of them do since FFIV.
Soo far VII Remake looks way more interesting to me than Cyberpunk, it takes all my priority for as a fan of the franchise and FFVII, Nothing insane about preferring it over Cyberpunk.
I get the feeling cyberpunk will get delayed too at this point. PR push is almost non existent at this point for it and we still haven't seen much footage for such an huge and complicated title. Square might know something thus the confidence in delaying their own game...
Please. WRPG has been running shit since 2006. I am speaking from a normie PoV. This isn't the late 90s to early 2000s, fam.
What an odd delay. Usually when they delay a game outside of their initial a fiscal quarter/year, they don't tend to push it to early in the next one.
Man, CyperPunk is gonna crush the remake in sells and also, may I mention, people who already played the original who thinks this project is in parts is ridiculous will go with CyperPunk anyways. I'm getting both btw, and I bought two copies of the remake. CP2077 will be my first WRPG I will complete and make me be a fan of the genre like FFVII did like 21 years ago.
Hopefully they delay taking payment for sure. But it wouldn't surprise me if they continue as planned...
Cyberpunk was going to sell more anyways.
Weather FF7R was going to release March or April.
you can not like both. The only valid outcome is that your pick is a financial success and all around GOAT, and the other game bankrupts the developer.
On the contrary, I'll bet money that an already intense crunch just got extended by an even more intense one.
I took 4 days off but actually have to take the days before April anyway, so I guess I'll replay KH3 with the new DLC.
Sucks though because I'm away when it launches now.
Maybe the amount of stuff that was data-mined scared the hell out of them, and they're spending the month scrubbing the game of "Part 2" stuff.
I'm mildly annoyed because I kinda need a proper date here. April 9? April 11? April 14? Which one is it now?
Because it sure as hell ain't April 10 as that's a holiday here (and several other countries!). So April 10 is not 'worldwide'.
Did they not realize that? Weird.

Sucks for me.
I intended to get a physical deluxe edition day one since I was going to be in Vegas (I live in a country without release date parity)
To add insult to injury I'm on vacations from March 9th to April 10th. I'll be spending most of it in London, although I booked my return flight for April 6th...
So April 10th I either buy digital and have to buy physical later (probably gonna do that) or don't buy it till it gets here

That sucks, dude. Makes my inconvenience seem minor in comparison.
Yea but it is going to heavily impact the remake's sales for sure.
What has "running shit" got to do with what game they are more interested in?
I'm more interested in RE3make than the next Call of Duty. Are you going to tell me that's wrong because CoD will sell more? Fuck off, per.
Sorry
LOL. That's about the only game I have to look forward to for a while now.
Well.....guess i take back my statement........i can buy FFVII remake again lol, i was initially skipping due to cyberpunk 6 days away
Whose idea was it to release this on Black Friday? Got an email from Amazon telling me the new estimated delivery is April 14th. If I don't get it day one I'll be really disappointed.
Ohh baby I'm stuntin today. Good news. This game is going to sell the most units in the month of April now. Muchos excited.
I'm a little disappointed in the Cyberpunk delay because I'm looking forward to Cyberpunk, but I admit that I'm a bit relieved that VII Remake doesn't have to go up against it and they don't have to cannibalize each others' sales. Because, to be frank, I think VIIR would have gotten the far worse end of the deal on that one.
The actual month long delay doesn't bother me a bit. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit more, if Square thought it needed it. I want this game to be the best it can be because the characters and story mean a lot to me, and I'd love to see the FF series attain a really high quality bar again.

Since 2011, maybe? Skyrim was the first WRPG to reach and eventually surpass the sales numbers of Pokemon and Final Fantasy.
No, I meant in the RPG space. Most people don't count Pokemon so let's leave out of the scenario.
Glad cd project respected ff7r to not want their sales to cannibalize each other. Japanese rpgs and western rpgs can coexist
Between ff7r re3r and nioh 2 i am stacked for a while
