The Last Guardian needs to sell well to justify the length of its development. That timeframe is insane. Square wants Final Fantasy to sell 10 million copies and the timeframe of development was insane.

They just want 10 Millions, they don't need 10 Millions, Tabata once stated that the Game's Budge isn't much different from other western games like The Witcher 3, he also Stated that the game don't have a Budge like GTA V. they canceled Final Fantasy XIII Versus, and started once again, so the Development costs are not that much, isn't 10 years of development, because they started again, so is like 3-4 Years of Development, and Final Fantasy, have several tittles that sold nearly 10 Millions of units.

You do not fund a game for almost (if not fully) a decade and not expect quality in yourself and not expect profit. They will need to market the shit out of the last guardian. They cannot justify the length of its development without taking the dive. It needs to make its money back and then some or else it was just a waste of time. GTA will always sell 20-30 million copies, they are excempt from a lot of peoples arguments. Not to mention the last guardian is an exclusive, so I doubt sony is expecting final fantasy numbers (unless the game is capable of reaching such a crowd (which i doubt). Final Fantasy should make its return with enough media hype or else a huge amount of wind will be knocked out of Square Enix. Final Fantasy saved Square from going under once and they are trying to make sure lightening strikes twice.
