Nothing else to say about it. Sad times.

Whelp... back into hibernation, then. *shuffles off to sleep for another two and a half months*

 

[Alex Strife]

So, from 48 days to 86. Oh well!!

 

[Jimmy XH]

Well that’s Easter weekend sorted then...

 

[Glaurung]

After 20 years, what's an extra month?

Remember, folks, someone out there had to wait an extra ten years after 2000 in imprisonment

 

[Misterbadguy]

Had a weird feeling this would happen. Not too upset really, a little bit longer needed to avoid spoilers but I've done well so far.

 

[Rose_of_Night]

Mama's right, at least it's just a month

 

[youffie]

… Seriously? Ugh.

While I am personally inconvenienced in a moderate fashion (I'll have to see if my boss is okaying with me changing my reserved vacation to April instead) I'm sure the developers are under leagues more stress. Here's hoping they pull through with a final release that isn't too buggy. Not that we've had it confirmed that the current build has tons of bugs but I'm going to assume it as a likely scenario, considering the complexity of the project.

Ok, I can understand the desire to put off the release to ensure you make a quality game. I get it. That being said...

I WANT THE GODDAMN DEMO

 

[Interslicery]

FUCK

I just got my goddamn vacation days locked the fuck in...

 

[ForceStealer]

Man, that week and weekend in March was so free and clear for me. That part of April is way busier

 

[Elisa Maza]

Eh, it's five weeks more. No biggie.

...the demo would've been nice in the meantime, though.

 

[OWA-2]

Just a few days after RE3 Remake, and a few days before Cyberpunk 2077. That's not good. Not good at all!

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I really hope this means they're fixing Tseng's face.
Priorities....

INB4 they drop the demo March 3rd

 

[Lulcielid]

This gives me enoigh time to save some money until then.

 

[oty]

I dont even blame them. Just seems kind of the norm that a triple A game gets delayed nowadays? Idk

 

[Erotic Materia]

My family is gonna be so pissed when I don't show up for Easter.

fuck it.

 

[Claymore]

Really annoyed. I had locked in my annual leave and had everything planned. Luckily, my leave refreshes per financial year, so I can take a new set in April hopefully. Now this clashes with Cyberpunk again.

And yes to the demo chants. That would ease the pain ... a little.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Release date now coincides with my Easter holidays. I have no say over when I take my holidays, but on the upside I do get a lot of holiday.

 

[Saven]

Of course Square makes this announcement as soon as I put in my PTO time.
Honestly though, after seeing how many graphical glitches were going on in a few of the demos I watched, I kinda saw it coming with how close it was to release. At least I don't have to take as many PTO days as I originally was going to now that it's a Friday release instead of a Tuesday.

 

[Mayo Master]

I feel for the folks who had already booked their leave - I was about to do the same thing!
Welp, I think I share the sentiment that 5 more weeks isn't a big deal (I've been hoping for a remake since the late 2000s). Not great to have it so close to the release of Cyberpunk 2077 though.

I don't have leave to book and I would never take vacation to play a video game. Still it's sad as my hype levels have only increased since watching demo footage, but it is what it is. Just got to let them finish the game.
