They obviously did not do that for Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Tiny text is
completely unreadable on an SDTV, making the game absolutely unplayable.

Any information on what the standard TVs were? If testing a standard TV was
the case, then we would want to find out what TVs were tested by different
companies for different eras (or even different games) so we can test on the
developer's benchmark hardware.
