Credits are just titles assigned to roles people do on a game. There is no real industry standardization that can be accurately applied across everything to determine seniority or whatever. In this case it's pretty straightforward, the project/development leader is the person in-charge of managing the development team and overseeing the project progress. I would say it's more of a junior producer role than a director role.
Thank you, now it's more clear to me. The fact that he worked on al FFXIII titles and the fact that Kitase compared the FFXIII trilogy to the FFVIIR project (multiple parts) makes me hopeful for the game. Too bad though that this means we won't see it at E3...
