Hiroyuki Ito (Director: FF6, FF9, FF12) has not worked on a single Square Enix game this entire gen!

Hiroyuki Ito is too busy designing, producing and directing Final Fantasy XV. The scale and ambition of the game is so great that he can't work hands-on with any other game.

Unless he's been working on it basically all by himself, I doubt there's any merit to such a rumor.  FFXV would undoubtedly be developed by the 1st Production Team, and they've been busy with the FFXIII suite of games the last few years.  He could be doing some preliminary planning for the game (if he is the director), but I doubt any actual heavy coding has begun.  

Why do you think FFXV will be "undoubtedly" be made by the 1st Production Department? After all, they never made FFXII and are not making FFXIV ARR. Basically, they have not made every FF game ever released, so there's a chance they will not make FFXV.

Also, FFXV had definitely started development. FFXIII started development in 2004. FFXIV started development in 2005. Notice how long ago these dates are? FFXV has therefore definitely started development by now. It probably started development in 2007 or 2008.

FF XII is my favorite FF game, followed by FF IX. And VI is the best Nintendo FF game. I like the way you think. :)

We can only hope that Hiroyuki Ito has been making FFXV these past few years
