Final Fantasy VII just got delayed by Square Enix, a significant blow to those who have been waiting for the game for what feels like forever. It’s not a huge delay with the game being pushed back just one month from its March release date into April, but a delay is a delay regardless. Like many game delays, most soon-to-be players said the delay won’t be that bad since it means more time will be spent working on the game.

Square Enix’s announcement about the game’s delay was shared on Tuesday within a statement from Yoshinori Kitase, the producer for Final Fantasy VII. The producer said the team was making the “tough decision” to push the game back while polishing it more.
“We know that so many of you are looking forward to the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake and have been waiting patiently to experience what we have been working on,” the statement said. “In order to ensure we deliver a game that is in-line with our vision, and the quality that our fans who have been waiting for deserve, we have decided to move the release date to April 10, 2020.”

Less Gaming in March
Final Fantasy 7 got delayed. I guess that means less game in March? Sucks because I was really just gonna get FF7 and P5R at the end of the month and worry about the rest later. But I’ll probably still be playing P5R at that point.

Would Rather Wait
I’m glad Square Enix is delaying Final Fantasy 7 Remake, it clearly isn’t up to their standards. I’d rather wait a bit longer than them rush it out and patch later. https://t.co/ZCpc1VVfbn
