As long as it's not by tri-Ace.
This! And just use the same engine as DQ Heroes as this looks pretty damn good already.
They really don't. They have a couple of (announced) massive games with FFXV & Kingdom Hearts III and a few handheld/mobile titles but the dev team of FFXV isn't too huge (somewhere between 200-300 people according to Tabata), KHIII is from SQEX's Osaka offices and most of the portable/mobile titles aren't (fully) internally developed, so that still leaves a lot of people from the main Tokyo offices who aren't tied to FFXV or the on-going support of their MMOs. FFXV will also be released relatively soon and who knows when KHIII will be out, so they quite likely need to have MORE than just those two for the next 2-3 years.
FFXIV's dev team had 600-700+ people working on it at one point, so after its completion I'm sure SQEX could start moving forward with new console projects again. DQXI is probably mostly developed by people behind DQX who they don't need for supporting the MMO.Lightning Returns was also finished this year. I doubt all of the hundreds of people from those games who they don't need for FFXIV's ongoing support and who needed to move on to a new project after they finished LR went to FFXV, so it isn't too unreasonable to assume that Square Enix has had 2-4 console JRPGs of varying sizes (i.e. from Drakengard 3/Nier like mid sized games to FFXV like gargantuan efforts) in the pipeline for around 1,5 years by now (with some planning & early development with small(er) teams even prior to that) with planned releases in 2015-2016.
And that isn't even accounting publishing games from devs like Tri-Ace or collaborations like Dragon Quest Heroes.

I just can't imagine they'd show FFXVI while FFXV is finally becoming so visible.
So I hope it's finally a new IP from Kitase.

One of the most fun games last generation. Of course I want another SO.

Calling it now. It is Shinji Hashimoto's project with Hiroyuki Itou.
Hashimoto was working on a secret project as teased in Famitsu. He was seen in the PlayStation Experience video.
See..... the dots connect. PSX announcement for the new project of Hiroyuki Itou, with art from Yoshitaka Amano, music by Yoko Shimomura, and produced by Shinji Hashimoto.

So I take it they mentioned the "it's not a remake" part at the end just to quell all of the inevitable "Is it an FF7 remake?!" questions they'd get from fans!
FFVII HD remaster then.

Knowing SE, People would have expected a LR: FXIII trilogy on PS4/XBO instead of a new console RPG. So glad to see that they clarified the no remake part.

I'm kinda cautious with the wording. It's not a remake so it could still be a port, right? DQ10 for PS4 with western localization? This is Square Enix after all. Keeping my expectation the lowest possible is probably a good idea.

I sympathize with the people that hold on to this tragic hope that Hiroyuki Itou will ever be heard from again.
Reminds me of myself with Imamura @ Team Silent.
Time has left these guys in the past, fellas. Let it go.

I find it hilarious that they have to use very specific keywords to get us hyped.
"RPG"
"console"
"isn't a remake"
"RPG"
"console"
"isn't a remake"
Hey, at least they know their audience.

Without Matsuno around (and I assume he'd never work with them again after XII was hazardous to his health), I don't know if it'd be the same.

Whatever it will be, it better uses a Grandia-esque battle system.
He retweets FFXV and other Final Fantasy stuff as well.

HMMMMM.
People would be pretty salty, at least in this thread, if its a Dues Ex game. However it could be him just retweeting the fact that it's Square related.

Well they should go ahead and announce it because there needs to be at least an eight-year wait.

I'll take any dev, I'm way beyond caring for pedigree. Just make it already.

Am I the only one disappointed that they aren't remastering FFXII? I mean I'll happily take more rpgs and new ones at that but FFXII seems like a no brainer.
