Final Fantasy III delayed...slightly

The box art is still pretty.The upcoming Final Fantasy III, one of the most anticipated games for the Nintendo DS, has been ever so slightly delayed. The previously scheduled North American release date of November 1st has been transfigured (with a bit of phoenix feather and mugworm extract) to November 14th.

Unfortunately, many readers didn't seem to know about the delay to November in the first place, as the game was originally intended for a September release. Still, there are plenty of other things to keep you occupied until November, right? Also, keep in mind that Final Fantasy V for the GBA is currently scheduled for release on November 6th, and Final Fantasy XII for the PS2 on October 31st. Three Final Fantasy titles in fifteen days?! MADNESS!

1. Such a slight delay from Square Enix makes me suspicious. Could this be a sign that the Wii is coming out last week of October or the first week of November and Nintendo informed Square so they wouldn't be overshadowed and to improve 3rd party relations. Then again, this is Square my middle name is Delays Enix. What this really means is I am starved for the Wii and Wii news.

2. Square Enix really wants to suck up my free time, don't they? D: FFV Advance I can hold off on for a little while, but I'm not so sure about FFIII and FFXII's long been preordered...

However, as Andy Grey noted above, Squeenix loves them delays. Time will tell if they stick to these dates.

3. And here I am anticipating the game in September... I'm one of those who never even knew of the November 1st delay, and now a delay to the 14th makes it even worse. Oh well, as long as the game is good and comes out eventually, I can handle delays.

5. Crap, this happened with Zelda: TP as well. It was supposed to come out on my birthday, but was pushed back. Now I have to pay for this game, which is ok, I guess.

A free copy would be better, though.

6. Does anyone have info on the European release dates? We read dsfanboy on this side of the pond too!

7. I work in retail, and I have to say that 90% of the time when a game's release date is given as the 1st of a month, it's only a tenative date, and will be moved. So in my personal opinion (I've worked in retail for quite some time now) I would say that it was never truly scheduled to come out on November 1st, it's only just been given it's offical release date.

8. Wow, I didn't even know it was pushed back to November, now the three DS games being released ina November are all must-haves >
