It's still crappy if the scene is meant to be voiced (and with HD it's going to be very obvious). Imagine a film where from time to time people on screen talk but there are only close captions and background sound.
Plus it's a crappy reason anyway, if things are as they state (eventhough it's an old article and things might have changed). They wanted to keep the time gap small, as a result they are releasing right next to FFXIII, and that's without any major anticipation for the game.
Plus it's irritating when PR feeds you excuses for a half-done job in a positive light.
