Consoles are selling well out West, so it wouldn't be surprising if we see something out there first.
I think this is a new Mana game with a focus on online like they've previously talked about for console games.

Maybe they are reviving this
(A port is not a remake)
Those Famitsu readers will finally get their game and contribute greatly to the PS4 sales figures.
"Our new game can't possibly be so original and non-milky!"
Collaboration with Compile Hearts, Idea Factory and Imagepoch.

I wish it's a new IP.
Maybe the announcement will take a place in the 6th of December

Kitase & Toriyama would mean at least a "big aaa" game is in the work instead of some smaller project, and god only knows how many big budget titles the jrpg needs to be big again on home consoles. I hope it's a Final Fantasy of some sort cause of "sales" mostly. An AAA needs to sell well afterall. I'm fine with a new IP but it'll be a big risk on their part so maybe it's better to play it safe and make a FF spin off series or sequel*prequel to previous main entries.

I am thinking new IP
Eh, I doubt they'd have anything to show from a brand-new game this soon after Lightning Returns, especially a big new console game RPG, even if they had some ideas of what they were doing afterwards before Lightning Returns' release. When starting to develop something that isn't a quick cash grab sequel like X-2, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, they usually don't rush things and games can be in planning stages with a small team for a relatively long time until they feel they have some idea worth exploring further. If anything, some other team has been working on some pre-/early development of FFXVI and I doubt Toriyama will get another chance with a (mainline) Final Fantasy until FFXVII (if ever).
They haven't been silent all that long, it's hardly been a year since they finished Lightning Returns' and less than a year from its western localization's release. They could still easily be in some early phases of development after spending a good ~6+ months planning thoroughly what their next project would be. It's time to let Ito out of the basement cleaning closet to direct something for consoles again or something before unleashing Toriyama on the world again.
A console RPG basically means that they HAVE to make a big push in the west because Japan alone sure as hell isn't going to be profitable enough for anything else but the nichest of the niche low-budget JRPG & Dragon Quest, if this new game has even 1/10th of the production values of a mainline FF game.

Well, fuck. December is gonna be so good.
Zeromcd, is the difference between consoles, PC and mobile the same as in the translated version of the article?
Considering it's SaGa's 25th anniversary and they've implied they are cooking something bigger than just some remaster or something behind the scenes (and wasn't there some delayed SaGa announcement we haven't gotten yet), I'd say something like
SaGa > Chrono > Mana > Valkyrie Profile > Musashi
is more probable order of likeliness, with the SaGa game being one of those mid sized games they said they were going to start focusing on a bit more in between giant projects like FFXV & DQXI.

Square-Enix announces FINAL FANTASY MALA IPSA NOVA PROJECT
Final Fantasy XV to extend beyond, into FFXV-2, FFXV-3, and FFXV Haeresis for mobile phones.
Unfortunately, while Noctis and his gang will make appearances in each of the titles, the protagonist will someone different you don't care about. Unless XV-2 sells poorly, in which case we will inject him into our planned XV-3, even if it makes him into a completely different character. The mobile game will have no protagonist, and instead will feature the iconic FINAL FANTASY hand cursor as you mindlessly click on anything and everything.
Coming in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Please be excited.

Edit: Whoops, just read further down in the article
Not mentioned if handheld or home yet.
So, a game for home consoles not FF/DQ/remake, given the other extract you talked about earlier?

The old IP thing seems like it's highly likely but still not 100% sure on the handheld/home console thing.

Star Ocean 4 was a great game brought down by terrible story/characters. All tri-Ace needs to do with SO5 is not make the same creepy pedo characters from SO4 and they're all set.

First Deus Ex Trilogy game announced at PS Experience. If only...
If it was a smaller handheld game, maybe Toriyama could have something new to show by now, but considering it hasn't even been year since he was fully done with Lightning Returns (so he wouldn't have had much time to plan something new), a console JRPG would easily be a 2-3,5 year project at the very least (depending on the size of the project) and how Square Enix doesn't show games prematurely nowadays, I very much doubt they'd show Toriyama's new project this early when a new console JRPG from him probably wouldn't be released until late 2016/sometime in 2017 and when they would have probably only started (early) development recently.
Valkyrie Profile 3 would be awesome.
Please.

The only reason I think it could be announced at the PSX is because we know that Hashimoto is supposed to be there, but he isn't listed as being on any of the panels. Which could mean that his appearance is related to the keynote.

Oh yay! Cool, I doubt it'll be Star Ocean or anything tri-Ace related, but I hope it is! Still eager to find out!
LOL, I see this coming though
And it will be out before FFXV and let you control all party members.Final Fantasy XVI
This week's Famitsu has a special feature on PlayStation 20th Anniversary with interviews with various game creators. If this is part of the aforesaid special feature, then it's most probably PlayStation related.

I think it's a very big deal that we saw Hashimoto and Ono at the video announcement for PSX.
Hashimoto may also be at Las Vegas for the whole week since TGAs are also happening just days prior.
They never do countdowns for good games.

Someone photoshopped a picture of Kaz on this gif and now I can't unsee it :\
Here's hoping it turns out good and doesn't take another 10 years to release
