Hasn't SQ42 already had multiple release date announcements? This is a joke, right?

It was originally supposed to come out in about 2016 I think.

They said it was nearly complete in 2016, so that makes sense to be honest. I don’t know why everyone is bitching about this.

Surely nearly every other game in existence has also required ten years of polishing after development is finished!!

Yes, but this time they recently showed off a whole hour of gameplay from the start of SQ42... Which mostly consisted of cutscenes.
