Final Fantasy Tactics beat Pokemon when the Mewgenics creators were trying to figure out how combat should work: "One has depth, and the other has the illusion of depth"

Mewgenics leads Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel recall when the game went from being a Pokemon-esque title to a tactical RPG.

A long development is something that's becoming more common in the industry as ballooning budgets and tech become a factor. It's almost easy to forget that for series' like Gears of War the first three games all released within five years, kicking off in 2006 and ending in 2011, while the next entry in the series Gears of War: E-Day will probably end up releasing around seven years after Gears 5 released. But not many can step up to Mewgenics, which was first announced in 2012 and finally released earlier this year.
