You would think, after Square Enix just announced they lost 1 and a half years of development time, people would understand why they had to make these decisions. We would have had to wait EVEN longer if they didn't cut things out or simply not add them. 1.5 years development time is a LONG time, I swear, people are clueless as to how video game development works.

That really still isn't any excuse.  The simple "too much work" makes more sense.

I mean, when did development on this game really start?  They had to have the heads up from Sony on when the PS3 was going to launch.
