flames_of said: For FFXIII, didn't the development originally start in 2003?
I guess it is cause they can't prioritize or maybe to much trial and error? Having to acclimate to advancing technology doesn't help either. |
FFXII took many years in development because there had to be many changes in development(including changing the main character from Basch to Vaan). Also, Matsuno fell ill in 2005 and had to step down. Unfotunately, this caused a few problems for development of the game. For one, there are rumors that FFXII had some last minute changes just like MGS2 had last minute changes. Also, because Matsuno couldn't be around for the rest of development, the scriptwriter had serious trouble trying to flesh out Matsuno's original story which is why FFXII's story, while not bad, was still unsatisfying compared to previous FF game.
I don't think we will see the same problems with FFXIII though.
