I disagree with this. Sure it’s been 8 years since announcement but we had part 1 5 years after announcement, and part 2 is put this winter, a mere 3 years after part 1. I would say 5 years is average game development time, with 3 years being really quick. The issue which square never learns from is announcing things way to early. Most games announce when they are half way through so often have 1-3 years from announcement to release. Square alway announces a game when it has just started, which is dumb
