A Kickstarter update for Unsung Story has the news that development is suspended on this planned spiritual successor to Final Fantasy Tactics (thanks Eurogamer). The game was funded about a year ago, but hit a delay a few months ago partially attributed to loss of staff, and just a few weeks ago a Kotaku article highlighted problems with the situation. The new update follows the same theme of the delay news, blaming staff departures for the game's issues. They still hope to finish this, but say they will need to enlist outside help to do so, and they will work on other smaller project in the meantime. Here's a bit:

After we posted our latest development progress, we unfortunately lost a few key staff members that were part of Unsung Story development, and that has had an impact on any progress since then, as well as our product focus. We now have one internal team capable of working on a single project, and for the financial strength of the company we need to focus on a few products in the near term that have the ability to get to a retail release before Unsung Story is able to. While this is a difficult choice to make, it is one we need to do for the ongoing financial health of the company. For Unsung Story, we will explore options for outside development help, and will look to see if we are able to bring on an outside team that can assist us in furthering development. While we aren’t assured this will come to fruition, we do want to make sure that we are exploring any options at hand that can make progress on the game.
