Final Fantasy VII Remake delayed until April 10th

SQUARE ENIX announced today that the global release date for FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will be April 10, 2020.

[Neonridr]

I mean, should we be surprised?

[RpgSama]

Actually even better, because these first couple of months are going to do some serious damage to my pocket.

[Larrysweet]

With what

[RpgSama]

@Larrysweet

With some personal stuff, I know this is just my situation and doesn't have to be agreed or shared by anyone else not going through it, on a separate note, if they need the time to polish the game I'd rather wait than buying a game in serious need of patches.

[xTonyMontana]

Have you seen the schedule for game releases? P5R, RE3, FF7R and Cyberpunk all released close together.

[ActualWhiteMan]

Its very personal, jeeze. He just wanted to tell us half the story, and get all defensive when we ask to elaborate.

[blanka4545]

exactly lol!

[Atom666]

No. It wouldn't be a modern FF game if it wasn't delayed.

[Veneno]

I told someone on here that it would be delayed and they cried that it wouldn't. So yes some will be surprised.

[DigitalHope]

I mean, yeah, a little bit. Delay it a month and move it into the same time frame as RE3R and Cyberpunk. Seems like an ill fated move.

[Neonridr]

I just mean it's Square Enix after all. Delays are part of their grand plan :P

[-Foxtrot]

Thank God

Too many games near the start of this year

[Neonridr]

it's a blessing in disguise I guess.

[Pennywise138]

7 days after resident evil and 6 days before cyberpunk with Last of Us part 2 about a month after that is not what I’d call a blessing in disguise.

[-Foxtrot]

@Pennywise

Someone will move, who knows who

[Pennywise138]

Yeah I hope either cyberpunk or FF7 move. I assume Resident Evil 3 campaign will be relatively short so I’m not worried about that one but cyberpunk will be hundreds of hours worth of things to do. Seems like we still have no idea if FF7 will be 10 hours or 100 hours.

[rainslacker]

I'm a bit disappointed because this was the game I was most looking forward to early in the year. But it's not an exceptionally long delay, so I'll live.

[RedDevils]

I will skip this game, and buy cyberpunk and TLOU 2.

[-Foxtrot]

And just like that....Cyberpunk is delayed until September

...

*smug smile*

:')

[RoseSapphire]

I'm surprised. They made a big deal about charging us early for the super edition of the game. It sure felt like everything was on course for a release at the specified time.

[Lionsguard]

The only thing I'm surprised at is that it was only delayed by a month. I was fully expecting a delay but one that would be pushed well into the summer, perhaps even after the summer olympics for that advertising.

[jambola]

Only a month but stll disappointing

[Jinryo]

So close to Cyberpunk 2077 release date...

[WickedLester]

I'm waiting for next gen to play all these. FF7, Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, etc. I want to experience all of these on next gen consoles.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

lool have fun playin no new games until November loool

This is why its great to have a beast PC i'll be playin Cyberpunk in beast mode the next gen consoles won't be anywhere close to it.

[Atom666]

I was going to hold off on FF7 just because the full set will be available on next gen. GoT will probably be close enough to next gen that it won't hurt too much.

But Cyberpunk and TLOU are too much to wait on for me. Hats off to your will power.

[yoshatabi]

I'll be getting them on PC. With the exception of console exclusives obviously

[Exvalos]

I'm doing the same thing, I'm done with this gen, except for going back and picking up straggler games, I missed.

[WickedLester]

@Thunder_G0d_Bane

Believe it or not I have a life. Gaming isnt the ONLY thing I enjoy. I also have a Switch, which I fully plan on continue playing throughout 2020.

[King_Noctis]

Big mistake. June or July would be much better.

[bouzebbal]

Crap! Was looking forward to this date.

[Seth_hun]

Was there a FF game that was not delayed at least once ? :)

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

The older titles.

[PCgamer98]

Lol too close to cyberpunk

[criticalkare]

I liked how capcom announce their release date lately with re games why cant other developers do this?

[mrmikew2018]

Well it’s SquareEnix, they can’t release anything on time.....

[masterfox]

well at least is not a year of more waiting :D

[Kribwalker]

it will be if you want to finish the game. this is only the first half the game

[masterfox]

Lol first half? Is more 1/4 of the whole FFVII ps1 game i think XD

[KwietStorm_BLM]

First half? Have they changed something recently and said this goes far beyond Midgar?

[WickedLester]

Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

[ninja2ri]

Probably planning how to monetize this junk.

[Gordoncordon]

whatever, for the complete game we have to wait 5 years minimum anyway

[Vetalka83]

god damn it i was planning to play this before Resident Evil 3.

[gold_drake]

aw come on lol.

[Pedantic91]

A month is fine. But what's annoying is most of us know a demo exists, why not release that for the fans that are waiting patiently to help tide things over.

[Nacho_Z]

Sometimes that be the way it be.

[jambola]

With Square enix that always be the way

[TGGJustin]

Not surprised it got delayed but at least it's only a month. On the other hand April is crazy with RE3, this and Cyberpunk one week after the other. Won't be surprised though if Cyberpunk is the next game that gets delayed.

[Dirty_Lemons]

Man I hope not, I'm truly looking forward to Cyberpunk more than any other. I need that Deus Ex vibe again.

[Vanfernal]

By the time it releases it will be called FFXVI. XD

[Ninver]

What a joke. Companies really shouldn't announce games until a year before release period.

On the up side it's releasing on my birthday \o/

[Rebel_Scum]

A lot can happen in a year though.

[Gatsu]

NOOOOOOO! Goddamn, Cyberpunk and RE3 in same month now -_-

[TheGamez100]

Eh, Im surprised its kept its march release this long. Not too long of a delay but not a good decision to move it close to cyberpunk.

[Sonyslave3]

😍 around my B day. Same with resident evil 3 😀

[TheColbertinator]

Good time for them to announce the Xbox version by then

[Cobra951]

If the first third of the game is delayed this much, I might be dead before the whole thing comes out.

[bangoskank]

This was expected. They'll probably delay it again. I'm only annoyed they put it in the same month as RE3 Remake.

[MrVux000]

Don't you get it people? It's tradition!

[Stanjara]

As it is tradition.

[SeanScythe]

Damn it! This was my Birthday on release and I planned to be off and celebrate.

[franwex]

I would have preferred if they delayed it to the summer instead like July. There’s hardly any exciting games during the summer time. This is too close to Cyberpunk.

[QuarkZ]

Then... you know... buy it in freaking July.

[franwex]

We both know I cannot. Lol.

[CrimsonWing69]

I feel this is a bad move.

The reason being is they had no competition in March. Potential sales would have been higher than what they are going to be in April because now it's competing with Cyberpunk.

I already know people who said they'll be waiting to play FF7 now because they're more interested in playing Cyberpunk.

I know patches cost money to make and upload, but I think Square should have released FF7 in March and then patch it in April. How much will really get done in a month that makes it worth releasing against another highly anticipated game?

[gold_drake]

i dunno. ff7 still has the potential to beat both cyber and resi. after all, the fanbase is much much larger.

[Bleucrunch]

don't set release dates if you are not sure when you will be finished...right?? Or did they do this just to create hype knowing full well it was not going to be released when "THEY" told us it will.

[ActualWhiteMan]

Then delayed til November. Im calling it now.

[formanbradley]

It better blow my mind when it comes out.

[Blu3_Berry]

Man, 3 extremely hot games all releasing in the first half of April; Resident Evil 3, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Cyberpunk 2077.

What games will you guys be picking up in that time period? Me personally, I'm super hyped for Resident Evil 3, followed by Cyberpunk 2077 with Final Fantasy 7 Remake being last.

[phoenixwing]

Im buying ff7 r and cyberpunk. And hoping that granblue relink releases around that time too

[Elda]

Here we go again with SE delaying BS.

[Traecy]

Not surprising that's what they do,SE is delaying Marvel Avengers as well. https://www.vg247.com/2020/...

[Ratty]

It's just one month and it's not like I have nothing to play in the meantime. I'm all for it if it means it'll be more polished.

[Mr_Luke]

No problem. I will wait until april, i've already paid even :P

[deadfrag]

More time to play Doom Eternal!

[autobotdan]

Who would win in a street fight? FF7 Sephiroth vs RE3 Nemesis? Steel cage match. No rules. Anything goes. Winner walks out, Loser dies...

[phoenixwing]

Auto its sephiroth he has magic

[autobotdan]

Stars!!!

[autobotdan]

[phoenixwing]

Lol

[kyzer1978]

FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!!!!! MOtHER FUCKED FUCK FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!

[gold_drake]

i think we get it. fuuck

[gold_drake]

could it be... that they are waiting for the next fiscal year..? seeing as the new marvel game is delayed aswell. i dont know a whole lot about finances, but i guess it could be the reason?

[Soy]

I'm 100% waiting for the full game to be released anyway, like the Hitman episodes. I just hate having the flow broken up.

[lio_convoy]

The release of Persona 5 Royal scared them, so they had no choice but to wait.

[goldwyncq]

Lol you’re mental if you believe P5R could even put a dent on the sales of the behemoth that is the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

[gold_drake]

ahhh no way. persona is still very much niche.

[Artemidorus]

:/

[MADGameR]

That's fine. It gives me an extra month to get that 4k surround sound 5.1 system to go along with my PS4 Pro, 4k 55'' HDR10 SONY Bravia ultra slim premium tv. :)

[william_cade]

This game is going to let down a lot of people.

[RoseSapphire]

Within two weeks.

Resident Evil 3
Final Fantasy VII
Cyberpunk

Yikes.

[CertifiedGamer]

You guys should buy the game as soon as they are released because the end of the year is where the PS5 will consume your money.

[goldwyncq]

Not really hyped for Cyberpunk but FFVIIR releasing so close to RE3 is going to be problematic for me.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

I just cancelled my Cyberpunk 2077 preorder this morning because of this news.

[Redrex7000]

just hope its not lacking on content

[blanka4545]

yeah! make it the best even more time cool! Doom eternal and half life vr are already so big let's make April my brother's birthday the best!

[NautilusXIII]

wooow, didn't see this comin'.
