I understand perfectly. Mistwalker was formed in 2004, and didn't release a game until 2007. It sure sounds like they're trying to push as much stuff in as little time as possible.


Oh come on it doesn't take a genius to see how long it takes developers to make their first HD console game. Even worse it was the studio's first game, and they were making two games at once. They got 2 games out in 3 years. That's pretty impressive for HD development.

 

Sakaguchi had made tons of games previuosly, plus they were using a licensed engine. I don't buy that for a second.

 

Each FF Game was at least 2 years apart, and that's ALL Sakaguchi had made. He's making 360 games faster than he made PS and PS2 games. I mean christ it took Epic 2 years to make Gears 2 without even improving the graphics and running the game on the exact same engine. THat was their second game. Mistwalker did 2 in 3 years.

 

A quick wikipedia check says otherwise. 

As for Gears, you must not have watched a single tech demo if you think they haven't made any improvements.  All those demos are from updates to the engine so it's not the exact same.   Anyway, we're not getting anywhere with this so I'm done here. Reply if you like but I won't respond.

If I recall correctly it was 50 million.  Still substantial, but not quite 100.
