| Aiddon said: uhhhhhh, Team 4 HAD been doing something post-FFXII: the Tactics Ogre remake. Plus considering how FFXII's dev time turned sour and Matsuno ended up leaving so he could keep his sanity intact, I REALLY don't see his boys (or him personally) touching the FF series again. Plus PDD is actually one of the smaller teams and more than likely would have to yank in people from OTHER teams to get a good size for production. Minagawa is also currently busy sorting out the mess of FFXIV so he's probably not gonna be able to touch the series for awhile even if he were interested. |
Read through all the replies in this thread as I've already made a post with points on why it's likely that Division 4 will be making FFXV.
Also, only like 25% of the staff that worked on FFXII went on to work on Tactics Ogre for PSP.Where was the rest of the Division 4 staff? What happened to Hiroyuki Ito who was the Co-Director of FFXII? He never worked on the Tactics Ogre remake at all. He's not even credited under the "Special Thanks" section in the games credits, yet he was the Co-Directed FFXII with Hiroshi Minagawa and is still employed by Square Enix.
Secondly, Division 4 is not that small. It had enough staff when it made Vagrant Story and FFXII. Sure, some of the staff moved on to other projects and teams after FFXII came out, but that doesn't mean they can't reform to make another FF.
The only strong argument you have is that Hiroshi Minagawa is working on FFXIV, but then what about Hiroyuki Ito? He was the original Co-Director with Yasumi Matsuno before Matsuno left and he's been MIA since FFXII International came out in 2007. It's likely he's leading a team in Division 4 developing FFXV.
