Final Fantasy III Release Date Adjustment

***wraggster*** · August 18th, 2006, 02:23

1UP learned this morning that the release date for Final Fantasy III has been changed from Nov. 1 to Nov. 14. Don't call it a delay, Square Enix's decision to shift Final Fantasy III to two weeks later is a reprieve for your wallet. Final Fantasy V ships on Nov. 6 and now the burden on your RPG-loving wallet has been lessened, right

bad that Final Fantasy III will come later than the initial release date.

good that it will "lessen the burden on my RPG-loving wallet."

I do so wish they would stop trying to please poor people.

People will now be more likely to buy both games.
Smarty move from a business standpoint.

Makes absolutely NO business sense at all.
Seriously, think about it....if they can only afford ONE of them this week/month then they can WAIT to buy the other one. It's not like they only have ONE week/month to buy it. These two titles will be sold on shelves for a loooooong time. I expect BOTH to sell out in the first week anyway, so I expect very few folks will be able to find both unless they ship in MASSIVE numbers.
The SOLE reason they did this was to try to jump up their DS game sales numbers, that's all.
All that bullsh1t about a 'reprieve' for your wallet is just that: bullsh1t.
