So is Forspoken being sent to die? If FF16 is really only a few months later the 16 marketing hype train will steamroll Forspoken.

Also, fucking hell, 2022 seems likelier than before. Still betting on early 2023, but oh boy would it be beautiful!

September or December. August wildcard. "Certain factors"… Sony acquiring Japanese SE properties.

Horizon had a whole State of Play in May, the game was already in beta, but it still was released in 2022

I love that such big news was just casually dropped on a Nier stream, feels appropriately crazy haha

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to delay that game further if it releases near FF16. Last time they showed it, it seemed like it could use as much dev time as it can get.

Just imaging how this came up in the Nier stream at all is fucking funny. Take a journey with me --

The producer or whatever is talking about character popularity and really droning on and on when Yoshi-P raises his hand to silence him. The producer is befuddled, but slowly peters off. Yoshi-P stands up, and like he's delivering a wrestling promo, right into the barrel of the camera...

Yoshi-P: The trailer is done. Certain factors caused the announcement to be delayed, but it should drop soon.

Producer: Sorry, what? Can I ask wh--

Yoshi-P: The dev team spent a long time polishing and debugging the game

Producer: I don't understand...

Yoshi-P: The game is pretty much complete.

Then he flips the table and walks off stream, which cuts out with a 'we'll be right back' message that features a cartoon Yoko Taro.

Sony successfully marketed TLOU2 and GoT, which released 4 weeks from each other.
If Forspoken bombs depends on other factors than FF16 releasing months later or not.

Just give me a release date so I can add like 18 months to it until I can play knowing S-E/Sony.

Please SoP next week.
FFVII Remake SoP was May 10th.

i'd keep an eye out for SE's earnings call. If they are presenting it instead of Sony then we could get an announcement for SE Presents right around June.

VII Remake was fully blown out in Square Event so i'm using the same logic and expect SE to be the one showcasing it in full

I am not used to Final Fantasy having uncomplicated development and competent producers.
