SQUARE ENIX announces a delay for Final Fantasy XV. The next installment in the RPG series was due next month, but is now expected on November 29th. It's not certain this impacts PC gamers, as the game was only announced for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This confusing video from game director Tabata spreads the news out over five minutes. The subtitled Japanese clip explains they've completed a master version, so the game is gold. He also says it needs a patch after explaining what a patch is (he actually explains you may not be seeing the video the day he recorded it). It then notes that a day one patch is not fair to those without internet, so they are delaying the game to apply the patch first (so it's not actually gold). Tabata also says he's contemplating additional content for internet users in spite of the aforementioned unfairness. The accompanying announcement is also a little confusing, so here it is in its entirety:

To deliver the iconic FINAL FANTASY experience to audiences around the world, SQUARE ENIX® today announced that the global release date for FINAL FANTASY® XV will be November 29, 2016.

This release date will allow the development teams time to further polish and conduct quality testing so that the reality of the game can match the expectations of both the fans and the creative teams.

“From the moment we joined this project, our vision was to create a level of freedom and realism previously unseen in the series. Regrettably, we need a little bit more time to deliver on this vision and are confident that this new release date will help us achieve this,” said Hajime Tabata the game director. “As the director and lead of this project, I wish to personally apologize for the additional wait. As a team, we want FINAL FANTASY XV to achieve a level of perfection that our fans deserve. We kindly ask for your understanding.”
