Lost Odyssey was mainly developed by Mistwalker, feelplus only had a minor role plus they weren't second party when they went under since the last two games they worked on MindJack and Moon Diver where multi platform. The main writer of the game is Hironobu Sakaguchi the founder of Mistwalker. Artoon and feelplus didn't really go out of business along with Cavia they got absorbed into AQ Interactive in 2010. Realtime Worlds wasn't second party when it went out of business either they went of out buisness when APB: All Points Bullentin made under EA bombed for the PC. Hudson Soft should really be on that list either the majority of its titles (over 98%) where made for other platforms plus they aren't the original developer of Fusion Frenzy that would be Blitz Games.
