Cost of Final Fantasy 13
At lunch today my friends and I were having a discussion about our favorite Final Fantasy games (to which I of course replied Final Fantasy VII), during this conversation, however, we strayed to the topic of the upcoming Final Fantasy 13 title. As we discussed how amazing it looks, one of my friends told us he had read an article somewhere that the game was going to have a budget of close to one hundred million. Can anyone shed any light on this? Because it sounds a little far fetched to me.

A hundred million dollars to create FFXIII? o.0
I hope I'm not the only one here, but...where do you find out how much the budgets are for certain games?
And a hundred million? That's almost ludicrous. =x

One hundred Million....? Well, supposedly Final Fantasy VII cost about 40-45 million dollars to make. That was back in 1997... I'm not sure about the other Final Fantasy games though.
Considering, that it's 2007 and the game will be on the Playstation 3....I couldn't really say how much Square Enix's budget on FFXIII will be. More than 60 million? I have no clue. *shrugs* I wouldn't know, maybe a developer will mention it in a future interview.

I don't know where he found his information so I tried looking around on Google, but I couldn't find anything. I did find, however, that Halo 3 was roughly 60 million to make. As far as it goes though, if it were to be close to 100 million I would be very suprised. But what do I know...

Well....Halo 3 is a 6-10 hour game. It's also a first person shooter on the Xbox 360. RPGs on major systems are one of the most expensive games to make. If Halo 3 cost 60 million to make then the cost of FFXII is definitely more than 60 million.

That seems like a ridic amount of cash right there. I dont think it was even close to that. They wouldnt even get that much back once the game went on sale, so I doubt it.

Yeah Sapphires right, theres no way you could make back that amount of money in the sales. CD's dont even make that ammount of cash in sales and CD's are a bigger market.

One Hundred Million is a little to far fetched for me as well. Maybe between 50-80 million but one hundred is out there. Granted its on the PS3 and on Blue Ray, I dont think that they'd put that much money into a game unless it nets at least over a million sales during the first week or 2 of release.

The only way that number sounds feasible to me is if it was the all three Fabula Nova Crystallis XIII games so far. With 2 PS3 games in that set, 100 is probably a bargain.
