the release date moving about is kinda standard for video games. Its just that with the date's movement with a "high profile" game, that we as fans completely notice it. I've been waiting for the next installment of a Final Fantasy game since after the first one came out.

This is why I'm also (typically) the last person anywhere to actually beat the game, since I take my time and savor it (since it takes *years* to get another one). You could always do a FFIV playthrough...but make it interesting in the fact that you have to...play it stright through. Never turn the game off...pause to go to the bathroom or nap for a few hours...but essentially beat the entire thing in one sitting.

Good times, that.
