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.

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.

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?
|
Yes but the budget of those games are no where near the budget the that CGI FF movie(the reason why they were nearly bankrupt back in 2001)
|
Individually no, but together they are probably around the same budget or higher. Wasn't the CG movie like 100mln to produce? I'm pretty sure FFXIII, and Versus alone make about half that cost. That is leaving out the other games.
|
But the games will actually make a profit unlike the movie
|
Yeah how are they going to do that when they aren't released yet? I'm just saying that right now they are working on too many projects.
|
How many projects should they work on? If a smaller company like Tri-Ace can work on two big games at once and not go bankrupt, I'm sure a huge company like S-E can work on 4-5 big games and still be afloat.
|
And how many are they doing? Lets see they have to pay for the costs of the game developement if it is their game, advertising even if they are only publishing somebody elses game, etc. So lets see how many games they are developing, I'm going to guess some developement costs, Final Fantasy XIII-20-40mln, Final Fantasy Versus XIII-15-30mln, Star Ocean 4 -10-25mln, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers-5-15mln, Kingdom Hearts BBS- 1-5mln, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 1-2mln, Final Fantasy Dissidia-1-3mln, Final Fantasy XIII Agito- 512k-2mln,DQIX 1-3mln and tons of other games. Why do you think they are remaking so much? Because they need something to gain profits. At first full remakes were enough, but now they seem to be going with enhanced ports(chrono trigger), and pretty soon it will be direct ports. I'm pretty sure they can't afford too many more games in developement. Especially HD ones. Also most of Tri-Aces games are published and/or owned by square enix, so they don't have to worry too much about Advertisement, and Developement costs.
