"We need a little more time to deliver on this vision and are confident that this new release date will help us achieve this," Tabata said. "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."

In the meantime, fans have the Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV anime to binge-watch, as well as the feature-length film Kingsglaive later this month. Of course, neither are substitutes for the full game, but they should offer some tasty morsels of lore while you wait for the full adventure in Eos.
