Yeah, I think you're right onceman, sounds the most probable of explanations. Though... The images and graphics seems to be all in top notch, maybe that's where most money is going to.

A lot of money will be going on merchandising though, possibly millions upon millions, although by the potential scale of FFXIII compilation the profits will undoubtedly outweigh the costs anyway...as long as its a success.

hopefully it won't be more than $60 .. I don't have a ps3 yes, actually waiting for this release. Kinda scary if it's more than 100. Combine Agito and Versus? They said simultaneous release right?

The game itself, I would imagine, will base itself on the price of most other games...I'm not sure what the price of American games are but I would guess that it will be in the region of $60/£50

Well apparently the Fabula Nova Crystallis projects is actually a 100 billion yen project which is roughly 840 million (USD). This is for the whole compilation of titles which will take place within the FFXIII universe. Now, considering three titles have already been announced (XIII, Versus and Agito) 100 billion yen is a fairly believable figure if you take into account that other games (possibly even movies) will be produced.
The FFVII compilation is currently a 50 billion yen project which is roughly 420 million (USD). Now keeping in mind that FFVII currently has 4 games and a movie, and has spanned for over ten years, it is quite likely that FFXIII will span for several years and spawn several more titles than the current three which have been announced.
So it comes as no surprise that the Fabula Nova Crystallis series will cost 100 billion yen to make let alone 100 million dollars.
As for FFXIII itself, I have no idea how much it will cost to make because I don't work for Square Enix
However, I can be fairly certain that the sale price will probably be no more than the average PS3 game

CD's may be a bigger market but CD's do cost alot less.

back here in Ireland video games don't get more expensive than 70 euro. I don't worry much about the price, I know I'm gonna get XIII and that's all
I first need to know what consoles can the game be played on.

I never pay full price for games. That's crap. You know how long it takes to make 60 dollars for me? Usually for top line games, there always an online coupon dealy or some store that gives you something to buy it from them. I bought GTA4 from Circuit City because they gave me a 10 dollar gift card.
Still wasn't worth it...
