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, luminous engine and production, the game will have had a budget of 100 million. It's common sense.
And no, SE will not be able to recoup these costs in Japan alone. Your theory is flawed and without merit.

Square Enix would not write a check for 100 million at once. That amount would be spread over the development of the project and if this game is indeed FF versus it would have been 7-8 years. In those years they have other games that could cover the yearly amount the game would cost, that development number would have shown up in their fiscal report if it was that much.

In my posts, never have I implied that Square Enix would write a cheque of 100 million at once... Hence my closing sentence: In the end, with development costs, marketing, luminous engine and production, the game will have had a budget of 100 million.
