Additionally, Square Enix Asia has also acknowledged the issue:

As we prepare for the release of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE on April 10, we would like to update you on how the proactive measures being taken to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus are likely to affect the distribution and retail landscape in Asia regions at launch.

As you may be aware, some regions in Southeast Asia are subject to entry restrictions, border closures, and distribution and delivery restrictions.

With the unforeseeable changes in the distribution and retail landscape which varies across countries, we ask you to kindly check with your relevant retailer for more information on availability in your region, should any inquiry may rise.

We will continue working hard and ensure the deliverance of the game to many people as possible on April 10.

Thank you for your continued support, and most importantly, please stay safe.

At this point, people who have pre-ordered physical copies of games would be out of luck all over the world, getting stock delay for FFVIIR would only just be the first of it for us here in Malaysia. Hopefully the issues will manage to be resolved soon, as everyone else also anxiously awaits their copies. Stay safe, everyone.
