At a major Final Fantasy XV promotional event earlier this year, the game’s developers announced its release date by having a slot-machine spin of months and days whiz by before briefly locking into “November 30,” only to then slide into the “official” date: September 30, 2016.

Yeah, about that joke.

Early Monday morning, FFXV director Hajime Tabata took to YouTube to announce an official delay for the long-awaited RPG, now slated to launch on November 29 of this year (meaning, one off from the joke date). Tabata-san explained that the game’s “master disc” (typically called the “gold” copy) had been completed “the other day,” but its content would not be “the highest possible quality” without a downloadable patch, which he said would be completed by September 30.
