Is FFXIV up against the clock?

Is FFXIV up against what clock?

The money clock of SE?

As in is SE going to run out of money to fund the game?

Only if SE isn't making money from their other businesses that can fund FFXIV.

And from what I can find on Google, no, SE is not running out of money.

They are going to make a shitload in two weeks with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. They have the new Tomb Raider coming soon as well. KH3DS even though the 3DS is one of nintendos first major Flop Consoles since the Virtual Boy will sell really well, though I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on the PSP/PSV.

Oh then you have all the casual games they sell on IOS and Android, FFT, FFIV, FFIII, Bubble Bobble, Space Invaders, etc.

Oh THEN you have Manga which is probably one of thier biggest divisions. They own popular series like Soul Eater and Full Metal Alchemist. Every time Adult Swim airs an episode of FMA:B Square gets a few pennies you know.

Oh THEN You have Playarts. Which is the Toy store SE owns which designs and sells toys for games, NOT just Final Fantasy anymore. They do Bleach, Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Halo, and many others as well as Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc.
