How likely is FFVII Episode One miss its release date?

OP
OP
FFXV was delayed from September to November. The situation isn't really comparable.
Could it get delayed? Theoretically, yes! Anything can happen! Will it be massively expensive and destroy their guidance and force them to take huge losses on preorder numbers that have to be shifted to the next fiscal year where they otherwise wouldn't? Yes!
The game would have to be so broken that Sony won't even certify it and Sony has let some real broken shit squeeze through if they're willing to work with the third party enough.

They'll get part 1 out. It will just be a woefully small portion of the game and you won't see part 2 until we start hearing PS6 rumors :P
It's their only AAA release for the fiscal year, it would have to be a very serious problem to delay it passed march.
I think they have enough to get what they wanted out by that date. I'm thinking no delay on this one.
Reasons it will be delayed
Its a Final Fantasy game made by Square Enix and they never hit the date they first get.
Reasons it might release on time
- UE4 seems decent and better then their in hosue teach.
- Targeting 1 platform for release might reduce last minute QA problems
- Avengers also has a date close to it and seems like a mess, Maybe Avengers gets pushed and that puts pressure on FF7 to shop on time?

I don't like these poll options. I feel like a delay is somewhat likely but probably for more than a month.
Not true. I pre-ordered Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and Uncharted 4 on PSN. Both had release dates, and were delayed. Sony's policy is to offer you a refund (wallet credit) if a pre-order date changes, but nothing is ever set in stone. They can change dates as much as they like.
Better poll options:
1. Will make release date (or within the week)
2. Will be delayed 1 week to 1 month
3. Will be delayed 1 month to 3 months
4. Will be delayed 3 months to 12 months
5. Will be delayed greater than 12 months or not have a release date come March 2020
Skip the pointless premises and just let people express that in their posts. What if I think it's "unlikely" but I don't even know what "They reputation with FFXV and KH3 will ensure it" is even supposed to mean, let alone agree with it?

I'm confident they picked that date to be as conservative as possible (as in their actual target completion time is much sooner but they don't want to ship something unpolished that's supposed to have multiple sequels). Then Avengers can cover the following fiscal year.
'Unlikely. They reputation with FFXV and KH3 will ensure it'
The poll options are harder to follow than FF Type-0's plot. Good play OP...a meta narrative on the franchise and its fans is displayed through the way the poll options are written.
I think this ones makes the date...they won't miss the fiscal year

They will do whatever it takes to make sure it ships this Fiscal Year for them. So it ain't slipping past March unless some executives are prepared to eat alot of shit
It's got a weird launch slot, like they almost wanted to have it read sooner but couldn't really commit to , let's say a November date and perhaps localization work was going to take 2-3 months to finalize for a world wide launch too. March 3rd basically reads like it has a delay baked into it. I'd be very suprised if it got pushed further because after a certain point next gen hype will start absorbing whatever marketing Square could muster.
I'd like to remind everyone that they held a literal event to announce the release date of FFXV and STILL missed that release date.
I suspect this will meet its date, especially since SE on the publisher side has a run-in to Avengers not long after. Additionally, they will want it to hit this Fiscal Year as well. If there is a delay I think it will only be slightly after the 03/03/2020 date. If anything gets delayed it will be Avengers, maybe.
+1 for "they absolutely, positively, 100% must make the fiscal year or their stock will tank."
Indeed.
There's no way they can miss it. Simply no way. March is their window, if they miss it, it's over.
Same. I know it can't end without a cliffhanger because we know there is more to the story, but I hope it at least has a satisfying conclusion.
