You're a smart guy Johhny, but they most certainly did not announce it four years ago. It was mid 2006. “Too fucking right, its been 4 years nearly since you announced Final Fantasy XIII, and only now we’re getting to play it?”

I miss the days of Xenogears, FF7 and Chrono Trigger :( it’s something they’ve started to do around 1999 – they didn’t put nearly as much time into Chrono Cross and FF9 gameplay as they put into their visuals and cgs.

It's just something we're going to have to get used to.

When you factor in how long it takes to make the cut scenes, then all the high def environments - not forgetting the voice work! - then you've got a substantially longer development times. Yes, you could hire more people but if you're worrying about your budget then that's not possible to do. Games have far higher production values than they did back then though.
