There is no way this game cost more then 20-30 million dollars to make. I mean I love it and all, but it certainly wasn't a break the bank blowout game.

If it sells 500k its certainly profitable and there will probably be a sequel of some sort. Most JRPGs sell less then that and many of the series are on their 5th iteration (look at Tales, that series never sells that well and yet they keep on making them).

500K as profitable for a 20-30 million dollar game would seemingly go against what devlopers are stating.

I thought it was a cheap game too until Outlawaren told me they created a whole new engine for it.

Yes, but the engine are not directly attributed to the game if the engine will be used for other games. Then it would go to basic R&D.

Much like with Gears 1, where the bulk of the cost (Unreal Engine 3) wasn't included in the budget b/c it was used for many other things.

Thank you.
