President Youchi Wada commented to the press yesterday that in order to maximize profitability of its three pillars Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts, release of the latest episode in one of the series may be delayed until anywhere from April 1 2005 to March 2006. He also told Reuters that "We're still finalising our plans, but we could finish developing the game and just push the launch date back." The company already delayed Final Fantasy XII from its August 2004 release window into early 2005.
