Did you even read the OP?
I already covered in the first paragraph how I made this thread to show people that current-gen (PS4/One) will not revolve around FFXV trilogy like last-gen (PS3/360) did with the FFXIII trilogy. Also, if you read all the points I provided in the OP, you'll see it's obvious that Ito is secretly working on FFXVI for release this gen.

I just don't see the point in releasing two series at the same time. They already said they needed to make any main FF a trilogy to justify the costs of a AAA J-RPG.
I mean, what would happen, they would release FFXV, then XVI, then XV-2, etc ? Or try to go for yearly releases ?

They were already releasing two series at the same time on PS2 and PS3.
With PS2, they released FFXII (2006) and FFXII: Revenant Wings (2007) alongside FFVII: Advent Children (2005), Dirge of Cerberus: FFVII (2006), and Crisis Core: FFVII (2007).
With PS3, they released FFXIII (2009), FFXIII-2 (2011), and Lightning Returns: FFXIII (2013) alongside FFXIV (2010) and FFXIV: A Realm Reborn (2013).
Basically, they've done it before and they'll do it again. I can see FFXVI releasing sometime during the FFXV trilogy. Heck, FFXVI may even get a sequel released when the FFXV trilogy is over.

FFXVI will have a sequel, it will be trilogy. But where will the money come from ? Where will the staff come from ?
FFXIII and FXV were highly impacted by FXIV 2.0 development. I don't think you want that to happen again.

We're not certain that FFXVI will be a trilogy. After all, FFX and FFXII were not trilogies. FFXVI could just get one sequel like FFX and FFXII did.
As for the money, Square Enix have enough in the bank to fund FFXVI. How else do you think they've been able to fund developing a massive MMORPG like FFXIV: A Realm Reborn in less than 3 years, even despite the original game losing the money? They have enough in the bank. Then you have the fact they've been pumping money into developing Luminous Studio, an engine on par with Unreal Engine 4, Frostbite 3, and CryEngine. Then you even have the fact their already planning sequels for FFXV and developing KHIII. They have enough money.
As for the staff, the FFXII team haven't released a AAA game since 2007. I'm sure they're the ones currently making FFXVI.
