I think its funny how people assume this would be for X.

Its obviously not. That is the companies main project and all the head honchos are focused on it.

These hires are obviously for other titles. Really... after the game has been unveiled for more than one year, now they would go and get combat designers? We already saw the combat. Is a new guy gonna come in now and redesign the whole thing? No, it doesnt make sense.

No actually it's apparently decently common that later in development companies do "urgent" hiring. It's not that they are "redesigning" anything, but rather adding manpower to things that are still in development. I mean it's possible it's for other projects (given the number of positions, some of it might be), but I doubt it.

Yeah, they are very similar names, a few people get them mixed up unfortunately.

And I hope for the same. I would like to see a 2014 release, but at the same time I expect 2015 and hope they don't rush it.

When will you guys understand that this is nothing new and that these job listings have been on their website since October 2012. Most of them have most likely been filled for quite some time now.

No, the "urgent" is new to the job listing.

I would think that you would know more about Monolith Soft considering you are using Dunban as a user name.

The planner job listing doesn't have urgent in the archived version you posted.

I've been dreading that this will slip into 2015 and become another victim of Nintendelay.

Sounds like they are trying really hard to get this game done by a deadline in 2014.
