There is a big difference in gathering concepts and ideas and actually going out and developing a game, if you believe Diablo III has been in actual development since 2001 then i should be allowed to say FFXIV was under development since 2003.

lol. So you definition of development is when it was announced by Blizzard? I think you are on the wrong forums.

Your broken English makes your posts hard to understand. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DIABLO III. Development started on it at LEAST 3-4 years before it was announced in 2008. And it is FACT that Blizzard North STARTED working on it in 2001. Whatever other stats or numbers or figures you'd care to 'make up' don't change that.

I used it as an example on how long it takes companies to develop video games. Even Blizzard.
