I'm not saying it's not common knowledge, but I admit, I often don't think that deeply about the inter-workings of that stuff until after they happen.
But the reason why I asked if he's programmer is because he often has full paragraphs he types up with all this in-depth info. I've taken classes on it and never retained that kinda information. Leonblade and Crystal Power give off the same vibe about other subjects.

I think that, if we're analyzing a lot of the elements the game is supposed to have; we have to think about every possibility, and among those (maybe the most important of all) is the fact that development may not go as smoothly as planned. What can you expect, after all, if a game that was announced about 8 years ago; changed generations, engines, and directors? Of course stuff that was supposed to be in the game is probably not going to be there in the final product.
It’s public information from the developers themselves. Developer interviews, Postmortems, books, magazines, lectures you can watch online to name a few. It’s not some dark secret or anything.
If we look at FFXIII for example.
We know all about the development struggles with Final Fantasy XIII’s development as a Postmortem was released in the October 2010 issue of Game Developer.
We also know about some of FFXIII’s cut content and why it was cut.
Lightning’s home, Nora’s secret base and an amusement park in Nautilus Park were all cut to preserve the game’s balance and keep the game-size down.
The Seventh Ark was cut because the hectic development schedule caught up to them. Was planned to be DLC but technical problems came about and they didn’t believe it would live up to the expectations.
Stuff like financial reports, investor Q&A, interviews with the business people etc, are also made available for the public as well. Gives us a good idea about the business side of things, financial expectations, future plans and stuff.
If you want to know what Square Enix's new plan is for what their Japanese and Western studios will make, you can read all about it here.
