It’s also interesting to note that the next game in the series might not be a sequel to “Final Fantasy XV”, or at least not in the traditional sense anyway, according to Square Enix themselves. The studio is already determined to make another installment in the series, but we don’t know when it’s coming exactly.
We also don’t know what kinds of changes the game might include to the gameplay formula and storyline, but it’s possible that it will take the franchise in a completely new direction, exploring things that “XV” was afraid to do.
The studio has a lot on their hands right now though, and we don’t expect that the next game is going to be ready anytime soon. They need to finish up their work on “Final Fantasy XV” right now, and they need to make sure that the release will be as smooth as possible.
After that, they can start talking about the possibilities for a sequel, and discussing the implications for another “Final Fantasy” game. This will be affected a lot by the feedback they collect from the release of this title, and it looks like players will definitely have a thing or two to say about this game once it’s ready and released to the market.
