The game engine is probably the same that they used in XBC:X, which makes this not unusual at all, considering Monolith's record on the Xenosaga games, and that was when they were a smaller studio.
Xenosaga EP 1: Released Feb 2002 (Japan)
Xenosaga EP 2: Released Jun 2004 (Japan)
Xenosaga EP 3: Released July 2006(Japan)
Although Xenosaga EP 2 was pretty bad, so hopefully quality is not affected (they have better game mechanics in the Xenoblade series, so probably not.)
