Square-Enix wants quicker turnaround for Final Fantasy games

"Final Fantasy XIII was the first game [we made for current generation consoles], and personally I think we took a little too long getting it out. When you think of Western triple-A titles like Call of Duty, Battlefield and Assassin's Creed, they seem to work with a lot shorter turnaround -- they make a new game in 1-2 years. That is something we need to follow up, because that seems to be the best way to keep our fans interested and attracted to the franchise." - Final Fantasy series producer Yoshinori Kitase

I don't know that a Final Fantasy game can be made that quickly without hurting the brand. The series is not exactly riding high right now, and I'm not sure a new entry every one to two years would switch public opinion.
