Will MS allow SE to use the HDD for FF 13 if needed?

It's doubtful that it would need to be installed....Look at Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. Multi-Disc games with multiple languages, and large worlds...Didn't need the HDD.

Were their cutscenes pre-rendered to the nth degree?

SE loves their pre-rendered cutscenes, this may pose a problem.

Yes they were. And there were/are more cutscenes in Lost Odyssey than most any other game, save Metal Gear Solid 4.

It doesn't matter if the CG looks like it's from Beowulf or whatever, it still takes the same amount of data on the disc. And Lost Odyssey had HOURS of cutscenes....Yet it still took up *just* 4 discs - and all with multiple language support.
