It's seemed to have been like that ever since the PS era. Also it has already been confirmed that FFXIII, and Versus may have even started developement as early as 2003. I personally don't think SE has enough resources and money to be developing all of the HD and Wii games, but it does seem possible if FFCC does turn out to be part of the Final Fantasy series, and the other ones are handheld games. Then it might work out.

Edit: Also both FFXIII, and Versus were in developement for the PS2 before they became PS3 games.

That's what they are doing with the Call of Duty games so that's likely that FF games have different teams

Oh and I do think FFXIV is in early developement stages, but won't be done until next generation.

dude, why would they have a team working on XIII before they had begun work on XII? that doesn't make sense

They are one of the biggest developers in Japan, they got plenty of resources. Also, many of the games they publish aren't actually developed by them. SO4 is made by Tri-Ace and DQ IX is made by Level 5

EDIT:FFXIII and Versus were PS2 games?  That's suprises me.

you say that the team of X is making XIII, but you also say that development of XIII started right after X, but before XII; but why the hell would Square wait so long with starting the development of XII, and start 'a while' after X was completed and work on XIII had already begun..

This is 5 years old, but it might give you some idea

I dont know what the hell All Star Pro-Wrestling is, but I digress.

There's 2 teams working on core FF games. It appears right now both are occupied, with 13 and v13. But I guess there's always the possibility one of the other teams are working on 14, or maybe right now it's just the higher ups doing design and writing the script, and they havent started coding yet.

But yeah, very likely 14's been started in some capacity.

Really? Hm then how come they almost went bankrupt 3 times? It doesn't matter how big they are, having all these projects, especially with the HD developement costs, is taxing. They have tons of DS games in development, 3 psp games, Plenty of games for the HD consoles, and 2 wii games. Now if they are developing even more on top of that, how much rescources do you think they have left?

interesting

I think maybe they rescheduled FF CC: TCB for Wii as FF14....

for a quick profit....before making FF15 for the nex gen.
