    Default Aaaand the street date has been broken

    Final Fantasy XV’s street date appears to have been broken, nearly two weeks before the game officially launches – with retailers in both South America and the US allegedly selling copies of the title early.

    Moments ago, Peruvian Twitter user Diego Pantan, also known by his screen name Lord Kelsen, claimed to have received the deluxe edition version of the game early – and shared a number of photos to back up his claims.
    Knew this would happen but I didn't think it would be this early!

    Sooooo if anyone hears of any chains in Australia breaking the street date lemme know haha

    Maybe they thought it was Pokémon? Final Fantasy Pokémon, basically the same thing.

    Apparently it also has a 7GB day-one patch too.

    FFXV is sort of like the election at this point, I just need it to be released so we can get past it already.

    Is that a new record? Cause it sounds like a new record.

    I find it interesting that the day one patch is already live, 2 weeks before launch. It's almost as if they anticipated that the date would be broken.

    I suppose they want to have it out for the reviewers, that is on of the biggest patches I've seen however. Although I'm pretty sure Battlefield I has had some close to that as well.

    I thought the whole point of this extra delay was to not have a ridiculous day one patch?

    maybe the patch was initially gonna be 20 gigs.

    i mean 7 gb isn't really that big when you think about it. shouldn't take too long to download.

    A day one patch was inevitable, I don't think I've played a PS4 game since launch that didn't have one.

    It was to avoid the original patched planned for day one which has since been added. Apparently as it stands now the game is playable without this new patch which rumors contains just more camera fixes and adding Kingsglaive scenes to the game. Apparently on Monday they will release details as to what this Day One Patch will actually entail. So we'll see!
