Yess

They startet with the development for FF14 in late 2004 and released it in 2010, that's 6 years of development time. And then they fell flat on the nose with it and had to rebuild the game on the old code to release it again in 2013. That's a total of 9 years of dev time and probably millions of dollars they invested before this game made them money.

So, even when they start with a new FF MMO now, don't expect it to be released anytime soon.
