Feels like it's getting made so quickly...

Here's hoping the end result won't feel like a rushed product.

We don't know how long it has been in development so far.

Xenoblade Chronicles X came out in Japan on April 29,2015. So that is, almost day for day, two years ago. Monolith Soft isn't that big a studio, so I doubt the game has been in active production for more than roughly two years. Ambitious RPGs take a while to make. If it does indeed come out this year, it will have taken about two and a half year to make. 

I'm not saying they can't make a good game in such a time, I'm just concerned that it may not be enough time for a really ambitious title that's on the scale of the first two games.
