I would do some internet searching to find out. Likely they're using pretty upscale equipment and software (Maya, its equivalent, or better). They're also likely dishing out thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for software and equipment. They also likely have a staff of people working for them.

ffx,ff8 were done(as ewomack said) with maya,now the maya the bundle cost about $7000..and from the great modeling you can tell that they had special nodes for that which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars......so good luck ...lol

Good luck with Maya! It's not easy and on top of that you will need a game engine...I would suggest TrueVision3D or Counter-Strike: Source engine, and then you will need to know C++. Good Luck!
