I honestly think that the next trailer for FF XVI will be the big one instead of a "stay tuned" tease.

Final Fantasy XVI releasing in 2022 - Will it happen?
- Thread starter SilverX
- Start date
There's absolutely no way that FFVIIR2 will come out in 2023 or 2024.
We really shouldn't have the "YoshiP said they'll show it when it close to release so it'll be this year then" line of thinking imo.
YoshiP also said we'll get more info in 2021 but the reality of game development (especially in Covid times) didn't workout how they wanted it to.
I still think this is most likely a 2022 release, but we shouldn't hang on to what YoshiP said as an off-comment during a XIV stream.

That's just completely pessimistic. SE has relied on Eidos Montreal for help before, as well as Crystal. They have for sure used their help for the development of the new game, especially in the motion capture department. I refuse to believe that is not the case, especially knowing the context surrounding the development of the first game. Furthermore, they indicated in the past six months that development was going smoothly.
It wasn't that they had no infrastructure but covid 19 problems with the Tokyo office leading to late or outright cancellation of deliverables by outsource partners.
Even if things get worse, their office shouldn't have problems handling it, given that they offer permanent work from home as an option for employees now, regardless of the pandemic situation. Which should mean they have the means to let employees transist to WFH when necessary without the initial problems they had last year.

They have not committed to any release year or date but Yoshida just said they had to push back the release by 6 months. He previously also said he would like to reveal the game again closer to release date, rather than have a drawn out marketing. He wants a trailer that will make people really want the game I guess, rather than just hoping to see more.
This is square-enix baby!, I'm expecting more delays and a 2025 release date that then extends to 2026!
JK, hopefully we see some really good gameplay/graphics when they show it next time, the first time they showed it, looked like a PS4 Game, FFVII remake looked a gen ahead.
