Two examples would be ff13 and versus 13. Both took about 5 years and versus 13 is not even out yet. Its not like ff13 had something special in it that took that long to make. Take fallout 3 for example (i know not a good comparison) however it was such a huge game(bigger than final fantasy) and it took about 3 years to make. Other japanese devs dont take that much longer either. Sega is pumping out valkyria chronicles and yakuza every year. So what exactly is that special thing that takes S.E. 5 years to put into a game?
