It's a bummer for sure but it's worth remembering that a delayed game with a concerted effort from its studio often results in a better production.įinal Fantasy fans who mainly game on the PC can rest easy knowing that Square Enix is doing everything to make sure the game lives up to its potential, and fans will eventually get a version tailored to their platform of choice.
