Given the context actually, I'd say they probably meant it would take them literally that long to be able to do that in-game. Not seeing a date for when this was said, but we already have a variety of things you can do while on giant monsters so this could just be taking an old quote way outta context.

I'm also curious who said it, cause there's a lot of the old MH1 staff that isn't around anymore.
