What Square Enix did last gen in their FF release schedule is repeating itself.
Please take a look at the table below which shows the main series FF games released last gen and what teams made them and what year their Japanese release date was. The team making FFXV and the year of its release is a prediction by me based off the situation last gen. I reached my conclusion based on the Japanese release years of each of the main series FF games last gen and how they compared to this gens main series FF games. I also paid attention to the yearly order in which the main series FF games came out and compared that to this gen.
Please take a look at the table and post your thoughts on my theory.
