It's obvious that Square Enix are already making Final Fantasy XVI

It is in their best interest to release ~ 1 big actual Square Enix game per year (not Eidos), so their schedule looks something like this

Early 2014 - FF XIII-3
Late 2014 - FF XV
Late 2015 - KH 3
Late 2016 - FF XVI

1 per fiscal year, seems reasonable to me, though maybe KH 3 and FF XVI could be swapped given they haven't actually started Kingdom Hearts

Seems a bit limited if you consider Final Fantasy is not their only franchise. KH and FF are different series also so should be separated. This list is good however it should be main FF titles only. They have what? 8-10 Studios? I don't see why 3 studios can't work on a main series FF game at a time, 3 years to produce a good title is enough, they have the engine.

I am just thinking of their "mega-hits"

From a business perspective, it is sensible to try and maintain their income from year to year and not just have huge spikes. They can work on plenty of other games, but I think it is sensible to keep all these games separated.

Most gamers would agree that it is best to not release the games too frequently, so FF and KH alternating years would be good from that perspective.
