It's one of their internal development divisions. Creative Business Unit III (as it's now known as) is headed by Naoki Yoshida and in charge of both FFXI and FFXIV, as well as the Dragon Quest Builder series.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Hadn't we'd already heard the 'sooner than you think' quote before it was even announced? People are understandably weary of Square's Playstation announcements, but it looks like they have actually been making a game this time.
Yeah, I've been saying this for a while. I truly think Square has largely gotten their development issues under control and that we'll be seeing XVI, VII Remake 2 and KH4 sooner than most expect.
Is the busines division that was formed from XIV team, with Naoki Yoshida as their leader. It probably has grown since it's also now producing a full FF main singleplayer entry.
IIRC, Square Enix re-revealed both Kingdom Hearts and FFVII Remake about a year before their release. I wouldn't be surprised if that's their plan for newer games as well, rather than announcing them five years in advance and having them disappear for years at a time.
Really like how the game looks but I'm also hoping that there's still a party!

While I agree with you that it weirdly looks like a graphical downgrade from VII Remake despite being a next-gen title, I'm more worried about how influenced by The Witcher 3 it looks, at least on a very surface level. A return to a medieval setting is understandable I guess considering how many of the previous mainline titles were futuristic, but based on that trailer, the world is incredibly bland looking.
I still fully expect it to be here later rather than sooner, but here's hoping the cycle is broken and we don't have to wait half a damn generation for a new FF this time.
Why does literally every FF thread need to become hot take city? The FF fan base is the worst one, I swear.
Game is looking so good. I can't wait. For them to show in-game footage and gameplay shows how confident they are.
I've seen the argument that the game looks bad, but I don't think I agree. I think a lot of people are used to the flashy CGI reveals for FF games but this looks to be taking a much more grounded approach (even though we see crazy summon fights), which I'm all for. I need this series to take a few steps back, and just focus on story and gameplay, which seems to be what they're doing. The future is bright for FF!!

Is a good thing that new blood takes over the series. Those people have been involved for too long with the main entries in some way or another. The series needs a fresh look from outside that tandem of people.
I would expect one major RPG every year starting from 2021.
FF XVI, KH4, FF7R-Part2 and Athia
The FF destroyers are currently tied up destroying 7 so I have high hopes for this game considering the people behind it.
Let's also take into account that FF7 can afford to go crazy with details considering its 90s based design. Agreed that it doesn't look like a graphical showcase, but 14 isn't either and it's probably the best FF game in ages.

Don't mess with us Final Fantasy fans
We give ourselves stockholm syndrome, but it's all our own fault
In all seriousness, this is great news and I am actually not surprised. Part of me thinks that there was a dip in quality for Stormblood precisely becausea lot of the division was focused on the creative aspects of 16 full tilt. Yoshi-P is a verywaterfall style planner when it comes to large projects, to the point where once something is set and in-motion, it hardly ever deviates from the original design document/spreadsheet.

If this game is made by people who made Heavensward and possibly/hopefully Stormbringers, then we're in for a real fucking treat.
The reveal seemed like it was designed to say "look, this is a real game that will come out soon". I know some people were underwhelmed by the graphics but whatever man it looked like it existed
My assumption is the plan is end of 2021 but it will likely get pushed to spring 2022
