I wouldn't take things that far. I don't see PS5 getting revealed in 3 months. Maybe a mention on December 3, 2019 for PlayStation's 25th anniversary (or not).
February 2020 reveal - E3 2020 blowout - November 2020 release.
2013 had big 1st party releases that will be spread throughout as one last big pull for PS3. PS4 came out in 2013.
This was supposed to be a New IP.
Please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy, please let FFXVI be a medieval fantasy.
So is this like a, stealth PS5 announcement?
PS5 2019 after all? Can't imagine Sony would wait till 2020 to announce it now as it's seemingly up on social media accounts.
In any case, cool.

Didn't they also announce Luminous Productions working on movie / anime projects alongside games? This could be in relation to FFXVI side projects in the line of the FFXV anime or Kingsglaive.
I've said this before but I would really, really like a new mainline, single player FF to be in the vein of FFXIV. Fantasy setting, beautiful / varied (biomes) / open areas, big cities, dungeons, a job system based on classic FF jobs...
...I'm basically asking for a single player / coop MMO without a subscription.
This is totally not news.
We knew they were working on a next gen game. Now we know it's not an Xbox exclusive. Shocker.

Well to be fair, they recently announced some old FF games and a late port of nier for Xbox. It's better than nothing.
In 2019, with modern engines supporting multiple platforms with ease and the digital storefronts, you never have any reasons for a AA/AAA title to be exclusive anymore, unless someone pays for it.
Exactly.For 2020 to happen we would have to pretend that 2019 simply doesn't exist,that Sony has to keep quiet whole year-they can not announce any new 1st party game cause they are all now in development for PS5,etc...this is just not gonna happen.
Yea I noticed that, Luminous was working on a AAA New IP but now it's just a AAA title. So probably an existing franchise ala Final Fantasy.
Yeah I don't get them anymore. They did bring several titles to Xbox One, you would think they would continue it. Especially now that MS has their shit together with the hardware, with them really going all in with new studios. Meh.
Was all a cover up. People figured it wasn't a new IP but this just seals it. This also explains everything of why Tabata left. They probably were forcing him to make XVI and he wanted to make a new IP.
Everything really makes sense now. Especially them "losing" 33 million magically.
Especially after him cleaning up XV but maybe there was no one else to do it so they closed down the DLCs and his new IP and wanted him to start work on XVI. As we know, he left to pursue his own IP and own studio. It all fits because he didn't want to do another FF which this almost assuredly is now.
All makes sense now when you piece it together from a simple linkedin profile, which is funny. Even the 33 million makes sense. I knew it couldn't be from the DLC. It's because all of it is obviously going into starting up this project.
Well, they've been in bed with Sony ever since ps1. Sure, they've supported Nintendo and Microsoft in the years since then, but they seem set on sticking to PlayStation for the most part.
Which isn't surprising since they've had a business relationship now for over 20 years. Don't fix what isn't broken as the saying goes.
Oh.
Then... Err, please be medieval fantasy? With dragons and magic, maybe?
Right, FFVII:R was also only announced for PS4. I don't know how this is surprising if it actually is PS5 exclusive. Just because they are deciding to finally port every FF everywhere now after decades of PS and PC having them, doesn't mean they're suddenly going to jump ship from Sony to Microsoft or Nintendo.

I guess so man, but the thing is, it was SE that right before E3 said they weren't gonna make exclusives anymore. They wanted to release everything on as many platforms possible. So I just don't get it. Especially when Xbox has shown that their titles can sell. Just look at Nier.
"Last Idea" was just trademarked and certainly sounds like a mobile title so I think you're right on point here. That's probably what the new mobile title from China is.
Cautiously optimistic about this project. Though it's definitely disappointing that Square intends to make another PlayStation exclusive. Capcom does multi-platform better than SE.
They don't need to jump ship, just support all the machines that are powerful enough for your new game. I don't think anyone expects them to make a Xbox exclusive but at least make it a multiplatform game. At the end of the day it means more sales too.
I guess it's possible that it's a debut on PS5 title like FF7R is and that it'll come to other platforms eventually like was the case with Nier, but it shouldn't be.
I think so too. So this means FF XVI most likely will stil use Luminous, thanks to the efforts made by Tabata and his team.
Uh, this old news. We know since last year that BD2/Luminous had been working on a new AAA IP for next-gen. Tabata talked about it on several occasions:
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Luminous' new IP was based on Agni. Tabata's team lead the project the last time it was shown as WITCH at the Microsoft Build conference in 2015 too.BOOM.
The screenshot you replied to is from the Agni's Philosphy aka. WITCH tech demo and it's not medieval, but a mix of modern and fantasy. There were cars and guys with machine guns etc. and a modern sci-fi-looking metropolis in the background when Agni took off on her dragon.
Well I also think you and everyone else is getting a little ahead of yourselves. It's just a profile of one employee. Probably for a game years away from release.
Let's wait for an "official" announcement before we bring out the pitchforks yes?
pretty sure in the management department that was a while ago
At the end of 2017 they announced a new FFXV mobile game for the Chinese market for 2019. I guess it's that one.
If it's FFXVI then I expect it to be on PS5/X2. No reason for it to be exclusive unless Sony has an exclusive deal with them, which is possible. Look at SFV.
As for VII:R, we don't know what FFVII:R is like so can't really use that to compare anything really. Maybe that'll only ever come to PC and Sony will have a big hand in it, like SFV, maybe it'll only be PS4/PS5, etc. As of now it's PS4 only and was announced as such so this and VII:R/NieR aren't really similiar to each other.
But I do think if this is XVI it'll be on both systems. Unless again, if Sony has some SFV event going on. Who knows.
