How long has this game been in development?

It was announced back in 2006.

But, on wikipedia it says this:

"Level-5 plans to make White Knight Chronicles a 50-60 hour game, a length Akihiro Hino considers to be a full length RPG, going against the pressure to make White Knight Chronicles a launch title and cutting the story short."

And in 2006 IGN made this remark:

"The Tokyo Game Show [06'] will offer our first look at White Knight Story, which despite its recent unveiling, seems to be far along in development."

By it's release, I'd say the title will have taken close to 3 years to produce.

more like 3.5 to 4 years

 

 

Possibly. I tend to be slighty on the conservative side when making any sort of numerical assumption.

Still, that's a long development time for a game (especially a new IP). I hope all the extra man hours were used to shape this game into one of the first true RPG masterpieces of this gen.
