or for instance FF7 anniversary of 25 years was in 2022
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_25th_Anniversary
But 2022 was pedantically NOT the 25th but the 24th
It came out in
October 2
, 1997 internationally and September 1997 in Japan
But if you rounded, then yes 2022 was the 25th year
Why round? Because it is easier to count the years: 0 1 2 3 4 5
That is 5 numbers
Than to count the exact days and divide by 365 where we find we are months beyond 4 years making it 5 years since because we went over.
Game companies can't count, what else is new?
Mega Man released in December 1987. A 15th anniversary of December 2002.
The Xbox port of Anniversary Collection released in
March 2005
, more than two years late.
