Hmm... Leaked footage shows up on YouTube claiming to be a bunch of spoilers, then ALL OF A SUDDEN the game gets a hard release date...

Coincidence?!

..maybe you could just stop reading it instead?

Kazushige Nojima is the scenario writer here and one of the script writers as well. You might know him from one of his other works where he was scenario designer and writer: Final Fantasy VII.

You might also know Tetsuya Nomura from another work he was a writer(and character designer) on called Final Fantasy VII.

You…

Until the day where even physical media requires an activation code to tie its use to a single player’s account
