Well, the thing is these companies have tons of smaller divisions simulatenously working on titles.
One portion of the Square-Enix and its developers handles XI, while another is developing Radiata Stories, for example. I'm not sure which divisions did X-2 and Crystal Chronicles, but it should say somewhere in the credits. I can guarantee they're not the ones doing XII.
I know they started on XII shortly after X was released in Japan (many months before the US release). I recall reading back in early 2002 that XI (online) and XII were supposed to be released simultaneously. The engine that XII uses is the one (probably slightly modified) from XI.
It keeps gettin pushed back, though. It was supposed to come out Q1 this year, then was pushed to Q4, and now.. 2006. Blah.
