Crap I thought Lost Odyssey was developed by Mistwalker.

 

But I love the title. Moon Diver.

Mistwalker outsources work to other developers so they can focus on specific parts of the game, as well as overseeing the entire process.


Ah, that explains it as I too thought Mistwalker was the sole developer for LO

 

Out of interest, do you know what part of Nintendo Mistwalker is teaming up with for The Last Story?

Lost Odyssey (ロストオデッセイ Rosuto Odessei?) is a console role-playing game developed by Mistwalker and feelplus and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360.

Lost Odyssey's "Thousand Years of Dreams" were penned by an award-winning Japanese short story writer, Kiyoshi Shigematsu, who worked directly with the game's producer Hironobu Sakaguchi on Kaim's backstory, while Sakaguchi alone wrote the game's main story.[22] The memory sequences were translated into English by Jay Rubin, a respected Harvard professor who also translated the works of novelist Haruki Murakami.[22] While Rubin originally objected to what he perceived as "adding to the world's supply of senseless violence," he relented after viewing the material and being "shocked" at its pacifist message and "vivid imagery".[22]

Japanese mangaka Takehiko Inoue headed the game's artistic team, while famed game composer Nobuo Uematsu was recruited to create a more contemporary soundtrack.[citation needed] Mistwalker developed the title with cooperation with Feelplus, a subsidiary of Microsoft created specifically to aid Mistwalker.[23] Feelplus is made up of around 40 former Nautilus/Sacnoth developers, most famous for the cult favoriteShadow Hearts RPG series. (Sacnoth was officially announced as being dissolved in 2007.)[24] Former Square employees at Microsoft are also involved.
