What's this PDD1 and PDD2 stuff?

I think it refers to Development Divisions

And do you know which one worked on what?

I can't seem to find it when I google it.

I think that SE have a total of 10 team. I cant give you a full list but i think that the first 8 teams are from Square and the other 2 from Enix.

PDD1 worked on Final Fantasy XIII

PDD2 is in charged of the Crystal Chronicles and SaGa games

PDD3 did Final Fantasy XIV

PDD4 worked on Final Fantasy XII

PDD9 Dragon Quest

as for the others I have no idea :P

PDD1: Kitase & Nomura (FFX/XIII, mainline Kingdom Hearts, etc)

PDD2: Kawazu (FFCC, SaGa, took over FFXII, etc)

PDD3: Tanaka (FFXI/XIV)

PDD4: ex-Quest people (FFT, FFXII, Ogre)

PDD5: Square Enix Osaka (Musashi, Mario Sports, spinoff Kingdom Hearts)

PDD6: ex-G-Craft people (Front Mission) this team might be gone now

PDD7: Tokita (Hanjuku Hero, FF remakes, etc) tiny team that usually works with outside devs

PDD8: Ishii (Mana) this team's defunct, most of them left to form Grezzo Games 

PDD9: Horii (Dragon Quest) aka: Armor Project, always works with outside devs

PDD10: Rest of the old Enix producers (tri-Ace RPGs, Nier, Mindjack, etc) always works with outside devs

 

 

...I'm pretty sure Square Enix has reorganized and has a new R&D structure, but I dunno what it is.
