What? Why? Because of those 9 companies? Im pretty sure the majority of them are working on very specific things and technology, creating assets etc. Outsourcing is very common for AAA games these days not made by Ubisoft (they have those 10 studios themselves to throw at the game).
Tabata says that there is either an FFXV related project or multiple FFXV related projects, and that in total there are 9 companies involved with that/those + FFXV proper.
Q: 9 companies are now engaged in FFXV development. Is there any feedback from those cooperating companies?
T: Yes. To be precise, there is(/are) FFXV related project(s), and including that(/those) we work with 9 companies.
