Final Fantasy XV officially delayed to November 29

It looks like we’ll have to suffer a (hopefully) final wait before playing Final Fantasy XV.

Square Enix confirmed rumors today by announcing that its upcoming role-playing game won’t come out until November 29. It was originally set to release worldwide on September 30 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Game director Hajime Tabata noted in a Japanese video released on the publisher’s YouTube page that the delay will help the development team perfect the game without depending on a Day 1 patch, something you’d need an internet connection to download.
