"When free"? If they're working on Versus, they wouldn't be free until the game is complete, right?

 

Even though I'm not a game developer, logic says that they aren't doing the game in one big block.  It is broken down into little bits.  This person works on this, this person works on that etc.  So if someone finishes their assignment early, instead of going to find the next assignment for ffv13, they pop over to the ff13 team and see what they can do there to help out.

 

While software development is broken down into small tasks, it's never that easy in practice. *EVERYTHING* is interdependent. To finish one piece of a program you need to understand everything else it interacts with.
