Suppose they shortened the development time by two years for all of those games. They could have the same quality game, just half the length. Sales wouldn't be less (all the people who care about how epic FF is would buy it anyway), but they could have been very profitable LAST year and freed up resources for even more games.
Apart from getting fanboy admiration, what benefit do they get from having insane development times?
