If only there was a Japanese developer here to shed some light on it.

I think there might be a trend changing. Look how capcom plans to outsource in order to decrease their development cycles.http://gamerant.com/capcom-development-cycle-poole-30876/

That article was from several years ago. This plan had a lot of bad results. Capcom as of last year has abandoned plans to outsource anymore of their games and plans on hiring more internal developers.
