Hopefully it's not FFXVI but still a big project. I really can't take another endless hack and slash FF game.
A new IP though? Bring it on.

Oh shit didn't even realized it was your twitter. I'll give credits to muffin.
For Division 3's new AAA thing.
I keep joking to myself it's Nier 3 or a new Drakengard because Yoko Taro is currently working on FF14's Nier raid so he is around Division 3. Either way a new action game by the FF14 division gets me excited.

You're in for a rude awakening if you think FFXVI is pure turn based. It's not happening. Prepare yourself to master dodging and cast BLIZZAGA in style
It's not stylish to spend 60 hours mashing weak melee attacks for pathetic chip damage against enemies and bosses that take way too long to kill. It's just boring. Give me something different than the endless sludge of mediocre action games with stats that only get in the way.
I remember seeing Suzuki joining Square-Enix on his Twitter last year, but I forgot about it until I saw this interview:
ss-agent.jp
He joined Square-Enix as battle director in February, just as development on DMC5 ended, and is working on an unannounced title at Naoki Yoshida's Division 3. They're looking for people with action game experience for the new project. As part of that they're doing a feature on him and other staff members. It's quite a long interview. I've only had the chance to take a quick look at it.
A bit of a background. Also known by his alias Oni-S, he joined Capcom in March 1999, and was a part of the Itsuno dream team for a long time. Besides being the gameplay player lead on Dragon's Dogma, and lead designer on Dark Arisen, he's worked as a planner on numerous Capcom titles, including Project Justice, Darkstalkers (Dreamcast), Capcom vs, SNK, Pro and 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, UMvC3 (effects design) and DMC4 & 5. He was part of Capcom's supervisory team on DmC. He also did some programming work on Monster Hunter: World and Iceborne, as well as Dragon's Dogma.
As for what this new title might be, it could be FF16 or it could be that unannounced next gen new action IP that news broke on late last year: https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/1...on-a-new-action-game-ip-for-next-gen-consoles
Oni-S has 20 years of experience on 2D and 3D action and fighting games, so whatever he's working on, the combat almost couldn't be in more capable hands.

Division 3 is likely not working FF7R Part 2It's only right. FF7R2 hype.
You're gonna love FFXVI
Your rude awakening is imminent, my friend

Baba was made president of a new studio and left like two years after though. This guy is only a battle director.
You can't be serious. Both XV and VIIR?
Yes, I've learned well enough to never expect anything because developers always make the opposite of what I want nowadays.
Dragon's Dogma and Devil May Cry 5 have some of the best melee combat in all of video games, the latter in particular is exceptional both visually and in complexity. That's enough to have me optimistic for what's next from him.
Don't cry just yet because turn based games still exist in Square Enix. FFXVI just won't be that. And hey. I asked a Moogle about you and she told me you're buying FFXVI anyway, kupo!
Lmao VIIR is not a hack and slash game. I can see where people might have that idea but it's more RPG than action game.
Cant comment on XV, I couldn't get into the combat with the whole weird "hold down the Attack button to attack".
I hate the chip damage bullshit. I hate it so fucking much. It's not fun to spend 25 minutes on a boss doing virtually no damage to it. I don't enjoy modern action RPGs because they rely so heavily on enemies having ABSURDLY LARGE health pools or stupid bullshit restrictions about when you can damage them.
XV's combat was more fun to me than VIIR's, but it's still not a very high bar. I prefer strategic combat over hack and slash any day of the week.
We'll see. I'm still not even sure I'm gonna bother with next gen at all at this point.
Look, if they want to make an action game, then they should just go all out and do it right.
But if Final Fantasy goes full action moving forward, it will make me very sad. I loved the series partially because they didn't rely solely on twitch reflexes to ensure victory. I want the chance to take my time and strategize about my battles as they're going on. FFVII Remake did it so well.
I can only hope that, if the game is FFXVI, that they brought this director on board to ensure the action-y parts of the battle system are just as good as the menu-based strategy parts in a hybrid like VIIR. Otherwise... I'll have a hard time continuing with the series moving forward.

Yoshida mentioned years ago that he saw God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn and thought SE needed one of those:

Square Enix's Newest Division Has Started Full-Scale Development on an Undisclosed AAA Project (Updated)
The project, led by Final Fantasy XIV's Naoki Yoshida, was first revealed in 2016 by Square Enix and seems to be a brand new IP.

Welp, looks like the 15 mins I spent on my thread was a waste of time, lol.
Btw, he was one of like 20 designers on DMC5, and wasn't the lead designer on any of the DMCs (lead designer on 4 and 5 was Yoichiro Ikeda). We don't know specifically what aspects of DMC he worked on (unless it's detailed in the interview. I haven't had the chance to take a look, yet).

Hmm, so it might be a pure action or action-adventure game in a new IP. Or a FF spinoffYoshida mentioned years ago that he saw God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn and thought SE needed one of those:

wow, a numbered non-MMO Final Fantasy might be good? It's been like 15 years since the last one that was any good(unless we count 7R, I kinda liked it).
Bring it on.
Bring it on.
