VII is a license to print money, Squenix can smurf it up all it wants and I'm sure the profits from just Episode 1 will be enough to cover the damages. I cannot imagine it not coming out, even if it takes them fifteen years and two console jumps, I believe it will be released cause it's just too financially sound not to.Originally Posted by Fox

OK, OK, I joke but still. KHIII actually - against all odds - seem to be coming out at some point in the not incredibly distant future. But if I were you I'd hope the development and announcement of XVI is not at all dependent on the progress of VIIR, I have even less confidence in that coming out than in XVI.
Ain't that the truth. Would kill my interest from the get go, but technically he's not doing anything really important at the moment, so he's the most likely candidate unless Kitase taps a new director. Tabata is working on a new project not connected to the mainline series as well as FF Awakening (a Type-0 browser spin-off) so he's got his hands full. I've honestly come to the conclusion from the various interviews that most of SE's old school designers are actively avoiding working on the numbered series, with Tokita citing he prefers the creative freedom given to him from the mobile division, Kawazu busy working on the new SaGa entry and recently saying he hopes he never has to do one again as he would rather work on SaGa instead, and god only knows what Ito has been doing for the past decade outside of being asked to overlook one of his old projects when it gets remastered/remade. I certainly doubt Kitase is going to ever step back in to direct either, so it's either Toriyama or someone new.If the series isn't dead already, that'd do it.Probably nothing but a logo to show for it and the revelation that Motomu Toriyama's team is working on it
