Who else could actually lay off that many staff members without essentially shutting down than SE though?
It would seem logical in a sort of messed up way to lay off staff after FFXIII went Gold since there was a pretty substantial number of workers assigned to that game.
You would think that they would wait until AFTER the game was released to see who stays and who goes based upon initial reception and sales unless SE simply didn't have enough work for all those individuals post FFXIII (seems unlikely unless projects that were in the works have been canceled).
If anything, one would think they'd shut down one of the other teams responsible for producing one of the lackluster selling JRPGs on the 360 they've released so far, but who knows?
