I've been expecting this for quite a while, what have the FFXII team done since 2006? I still want Versus to be re-branded as XV though.

They could've just been merged with other teams. Someone would have to do some checking of game credits to see what the guys who worked on FF XII have done in recent years though.

But a FF XV with an updated FF XII battle system, maybe taking some pointers from Xenoblade since Ito apparently said he likes it, and making it more interactive would be cool. I wouldn't be surprised if they go full on action RPG based on what Kitase has said though.

As far as I know, the staff of FFXII were split up after FFXII came out. Some went on to make The Last Remnant and others went on to make Tactics Ogre on PSP. Also, a lot of them are now working on FFXIV: A Realm Reborn.

I all honesty, I don't think the large-scale game Ito is directing is being made by the same staff that made FFXII.
