Could it be they delayed it so much to allow for a not-yet-announced STEAM version to come out more or less around the same period?

no chance. PC version won't be for a while, they will never release them at the same time as that cuts in to their bottom line. much more profitable to delay the release to double dip on the people who might be willing to buy it twice for extra features on PC.

Yeah originally rumors said late feb for PS4 and end of the year for PC, but now that PS4 is coming out in July...
I really don't get why such a big delay.
The majority of the important conversion/HD-ization stuff is done, maybe it still needs a few tweaks, but July seems way too far for just that.

Maybe it's a matter of not competing with other titles coming out, I dunno...

-FF anniversery pack (FF1-9 on one disc for PS$)
We already know this.
It's coming out for PS4, very limited edition with really limited copies, sold exclusively on the SE store. It's gonna include all Final Fantasy from 1 to 15 except 11, it's gonna have lotsa bonus content, artworks and stuff for all those FFs and a special plush and other unique bonuses as well. Coming out after march and price not known yet but you can bet it's gonna cost a lot. I doubt it will go for less than 300€
The leak above also assumed FFXII to come out in late february.
This isn't true anymore, the consequence of this is that we should assume this leak to also have been a fake? /shrug

Awe no unicorns...FFXI reboot would have probably made my decade. They seriously underestimate this title's potential.
At least there's no more FFXIII spinoffs.

Yeah, evidently something that has kept going this long and for years doesn't make business sense to them to reboot with upgrades and more storyline. I would be ecstatic myself to continue my adventure.
Exactly. Its Low hanging fruit. They've built massive brand equity in FFXI. They could stamp an FFXI-2 on ebola and it would sell. Which really leads me to believe they do in fact have something cooking but its classified!

FFXII: Zodiac Age release dates

I wonder what sort of issues they had with FFXII Zodiac? Previous rumours (from very reliable sources) hinted at a late february release.
July is very late for a game that's pretty much almost done from what we heard from people who are handling the conversion.

Really wonder the reasons of this "delay".


might be something simple as - introducing balthier to WoFF > marketing - and this getting more souls to (re)want the game > hoping for higher sell-rate. idk? you know, its SE we are talking about...

Final Fantasy XII Zodiac Age will in part be about Balthier and Fran's kids.

FFX-2 was already on the edge of being ***for a good part of its duration, but managed to close down Yuna and Tidus' adventures in what I call a somewhat satisfying way (with the good ending).
But that already was a quite contrived, retconned and stretched story for my tastes.

Agreed. The ending of FFX was already satisfying and felt totally complete. Every story doesn't have to end in the most cheerful way. Yuna was content with Tidus's departure. It is not like she threw herself around in agony when she lost him. Why not just leave it there?

Simple logistics I'm guessing. Late February is not a good release date for anything not already scheduled. Horizon Zero Dawn is looking good and slotted for Feb 28, Nintendo Switch and Zelda is March 3rd, along with other Nintendo titles, and Mass Effect is late March. There really isn't any room in there for any game, regardless of quality. I don't believe it has anything to do with development.

But she hadn't made peace with it, which was why she became a sphere hunter. I think X-2's "bad" ending is the better/more thematically satisfying one; Tidus is gone, but she's accepted it and truly moved on.

Yeah, I understand but at least they should have made only the "bad" ending. Bringing Tidus back does no good to the story and even kills the dramatic effect of the original ending. I just don't like retcons.

Guys if you think X-2 story is bad do yourselves a favour and never look into 2.5

That stuff makes you wonder if Nojima is even sane.

I agree with this.

Take Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning for an example. Great game....released around when Skyrim came out. Guess which game got more attention?

They are probably putting it there so it's the only title in that release window that gets attention. Good move, imo.

A bit disappointed they spent more time on FF merch and wine than any announcements.

I was half hoping they'd announce content for all their existing FF brands, including XI.
