Oftentimes, it takes 4 years to create headliners like main FF titles.

However, if they do what they did with X-2, it can take as little as 2 to start and finish.

The time varies game to game.
For the record this should be in the Video game section.

X-2 was made faster because they already had 90% of the terrain made, most of the characters, and more. All they needed was a new battle system, and a couple new designers... and new soundtrack, of course. Still, it's as good as any other FF.
Games like KH and FF take more time than other games because of many things. Main points would be:
1.- Picky fans.
2.- Shit load of Programming.
3.- Shit load of the overall WOLRD. Ever wondered that they needed some time to do each building of twilight town? Each Animation of Sora in KH2? Etc etc... so yeah, 3-5 years, let's hope no more.

It's starting to grow more than 5 now. FFXII Took a good 5 years to develop and FFXIII is most likely gonna take more.

Say that on my forums, you'd be pounded by facts of why it was a good game by the majority of the members. So many debates regarding this game and many things people said about it I didn't notice before have made me think it was a good FF game. Although, they could've chosen a better game to make a sequel to...

X-2 had one of the best battle systems in the series, it totally shits over both X and XII.

(And so begins a 10 page thread).

X-2 had an amazing battle system
which pretty much kept me interested
in the game besides some small events.
The recent roaming free bit with new FF
titles is okay, but I guess it has to go with
a more minced battle system. FFXII was
great, and it definitely matched up with the
game itself. Looking at it logically, the game
had you running great distances, bigger
than the Calm Lands of FFX....now imagine
the annoyance of enemy encounters

also, yes.
the time varies with each game.
Their more famous titles will obviously take time
in appeal to the fans, and upping their reputation.

For any developer making a game, it can take anywhere between 2 to 5 years. Depends on the project, budget, staff, changes, etc.

I'm so tempted to start a heated X-2 debate, but for the sake of staying on topic, I'll keep it to myself.

Anyway, in all honesty, I'm glad that SE takes as long as they do. I just dislike how they take on so many projects at once.

i really liked x-2 to be honest

i didn't think anybody could/would hate it so much until i saw other people's opinions on the internet

i still think it's pretty cool though

I don't think FF13 is gonna take more than 5 years. I think SE actually might stay on schedule this time or even if it's delayed it won't be delayed that much farther.

Yeah, because the longer they take, the more likely it'll be that the game is good/better. I don't really mind that they take so many projects on at once though.

And back onto topic...it takes SE 2-5 years to make a game. I dont think it has taken more than 5 years for them to make one but i don't think it's taken less than 2.
