This game, when all is said and done, would have costs upwards of 100 million to do. Square Enix will not want to limit themselves on PS4 to recoup their costs as they will not be able to. If ever if it is exclusive, it will be timed (1 year), much like the Tales games that appeared on the 360 first, only to appear on the PS3 with exclusive content a year later.

In essence, this game will be multi-platform. It is fake.

If there ever was a game that made absolutly no sense to be timed exclusive it would be this game. Also, 100mil? Bullshit number made up. SE would recoop that in Japan alone.

Final Fantasy X development costs were confirmed to be 33 million during the PS2 era. Compared to the SD era, HD games development costs have more than doubled. Furthermore, this game has been in production for over 6 years - time, money and resources were allocated to the project nonetheless. In the end, with development costs, marketing and production, the game will have had a budget of 100 million. It's pretty much common sense.

And no, SE will not be able to recoup these costs in Japan alone. Your theory is flawed and baseless.

FF15 will sell 1.5m in Japan 1st week at the minimum. They already had FF13 at $70 and they could easily bump it to $80. Also, DD has become even bigger since FF13 and they would cut out a bunch of cost associated with retail copies which increases profit.

Also, just because FF10 cost 33m and costs have more than doubled doesn't mean FF15 will be more than doubled FF10 costs... thats just a very naive and simplistic thought.

Lastly, it hasn't been in development for 6 years. SE stopped development and shifted resources to FF13-2 and FF13-LR
