What do you hope to see from Squenix in the future? 2020 Edition

[Wolf Kanno]

Simple question, what are you hoping to see or hear from Squenix in the next year?

I'd love to hear something about FFXVI, but I surely don't expect it. Runner up would be a new (console, not mobile multiplayer Mana game. Again, I have pretty much zero expectation of this.

FFVII Part 2 not taking 5 more years

FFXVI being developed as an early PS5 title would be pretty cool too

It could happen, the remakes have been doing fairly well from my understanding while I know the team working on the Mana series would likely want to do a remake of Legend of Mana first, I think they would also jump at a chance to officially revive the series.

For me:

Realistic things:
FFXVI announcement within the next year.
Vagrant Story remaster
Live A Live remaster port a la Romancing SaGa remasters.

Not likely to happen:
Xenogears remaster
Einhander port to modern consoles.
FFV remake announcement for Switch/PS4/PC

To my understanding the Trials of Mana remake was not multiplayer even though the original was, so filing a new multiplayer Mana game under "not gonna happen" seems like an extremely safe bet to me, especially if we're talking the next year or so
