Technically my prediction would still be right even if it only releases in Japan in 2015. But, I'll go with a Worldwide Holiday 2015 release date.


Ya I know, I'm just messing with u. But Final Fantasy typically releases in the west a couple months after Japan. Most recent examples being, FF13,13-2, Lightning Returns all had holiday releases in Japan followed by Q1 releases in the West.

This could be do to needing to finish translating the titles but I think SE simply doesn't want FF competing with the big western holiday releases, having the series release in Q1 in the west helps give the game more of the spotlight and prevents it from getting overshadowed by the huge western annual releases.

That is true that they probably don't want to compete with the big western titles like Halo 5 and Uncharted 4, but the trailer was dubbed in English and I'm not sure if that happened for previous Final Fantasy games this far out. Also, the PS4 and Xbox One's sales are so much greater in the West that I assume they'd try a Worldwide release. Or else I fully expect the game to release in Spring 2016 at the latest.
