Lindquist revealed that one of the games was Dark Cloud given the complex calculations they had to do in order to implement it. But the actual programming takes a month, not to mention testing and QA analysis which takes another 1-2 months depending on the length of the game.

He revealed that even the simplest sounding trophies can be hard to program for and just deciding the trophy list takes around 1-2 weeks.
