If that's what they want it's pretty stupid. :P I have friends who wants to play ARR but would never touch FFXI no matter how many expansions it gets. So S-E would just make those people wait longer and maybe risk losing them to something else. They have made people (outside this community :P) excited for ARR with the gamescom walkthrough/trailer and the TGS trailer so delaying it again, especially the PS3 version just so that it doesn't take the spotlight from the XI expansion would probably be a bad idea. Just look at Versus 13, people thought we would get to see more from it now that XIII-2 was out but nope, we're getting XIII-3! :P Don't know about others but my hype for Versus is completely gone.

Now if ARR have so many problems they need to delay it 5-8 months (hopefully not) then that is probably a good choice so that they don't release it and get massacred again because after this there is no third chance. But I have faith in Yoshi and his team.
