There has been a rumor for a while that Yoshi P's team has also been working on the next Final Fantasy entry. Could this finally be the confirmation?
Rough google translation:
Please look forward to it me if old.

He's probably producing it, but not directing it. Still super exciting though, since XIV staffers have all proven to be very talented folks. I think Yoshida still has 2 expansions of XIV left in him, after Shadowbringers.
Awesome if true.
... It could also be their next online FF, right? I know we're 'only three' expansions into FFXIV, but still, that game initially launched back in 2010, so ~12 years isn't too bad a life for an MMO.
I think the surprise here is just that Yoshida is involved too. Iunno, maybe he isn't and he's just speaking as the head of that particular division. SE has a ton of talented employees that haven't been attached to anything for a while though, so that's exciting too.

probably pre-production of the game, overall story, setting, some artworks, planning etc
So if it's a new mainline FF then it's years away, that sucks.
If FF starts giving new numbers to remakes it'll get just as confusing as FE, lol.
The sentence reads: "The pre-production process for this project is already over, and the development environment has been established. Now we are moving into the full development phase."
likely means they finished the process of pre production and are now entering the full production process.
He's basically the GM running the whole BD5/development 3 unit, and will probably be a producer on the project because of his position. I'm assuming that one of the leads from XIV who moved onto the project will likely be the one directing it. Yoshi-P is still going to be tied up with XIV as his priority for the next 1-2 expansions.
As excited as I am for whatever the XIV team does. I don't know how ill cope with what will happen to XIV.
I think I read somewhere that Square Enix is not making another FF MMO any time soon right? In that case, it does look like Naoki Yoshida will be making a singleplayer FFXVI. That could be cool.
This is Square Enix. PS4/X1 will be long gone before this comes out.
Just speculating. We've assumed they've been working on it for a while, since a bunch of high profile folks attached to XIV left it a few years ago / reduced their responsibilities (like Hiroshi Minagawa).
But it sounds like you have been coping fine with FFXIV. Why would that change?
if Yoshi-P and the FFXIV team leave go to do FFXVI, future expansions will be very different than ones before it.
I know this is next to impossible, but I still want to see what a Yoko Taro Final Fantasy would look like.
Speculation because of the people who moved onto this project from XIV, and there isn't a lot of AAA next-gen IPs that Square Enix JP can make. DQ and KH have their own development teams, so by process of elimination only FF is left.
No I think you misunderstand the implication. YoshiP is producing anything that his division makes. It's a big division. The FFXIV team is an evolving team. The team leads who worked on 2.0 and HW left the project after HW's post-game patches, and have been working on a big unannounced project since. Other staff on HW stepped up and were promoted to lead roles and have been carrying Stormblood and Shadowbringers. This arrangement will continue. YoshiP will continue producing and directing XIV expansions. This new project is that one that those older HW leads have been working on.
YoshiP has already said he feels there are 2 more expansions left in him before he would consider stepping aside from the main role of directing FFXIV. So he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
