SE might permanently put Nomura on Kingdom Hearts duty so he might not even have time to do a XV sequal.
they'll get Toriyama to do a sequal instead
What after FF XV in this gen? FF XV-2 / XV-3 or FF XVI?

Hey, Toriyama making garbage direct sequels is what both he and FF direct sequels deserve.
True.
But I don't really want him involved with anything Final Fantasy. I'd rather they just let him make his own crazy game/possible series.

Ideal candidate to direct FFXVI: Hiroyuki Ito
Second ideal: Outsource directorial role to Sakaguchi (heh)
Third: Outsource directorial role to Yasumi Matsuno (heh)
Fourth: Yoshinori Kitase (no Toriyama, or only as cutscene director at most)
Fifth: Tomoya Asano (Silicon Studio)
Sixth: Takashi Tokita

Nomura should stick to KH series and general creative producer/ character design role.
Tabata can continue on with Type series and maybe XV sequel.
Toriyama should be transferred to mobile department.
Yoshida would probably be tied to ARR and future MMO instalments.

It's a shame that Tokita has been relegated to handheld and mobile remakes for the last 15 years.
He was one of Chrono Trigger's directors and PE1's director. Definitely a talented designer.
And yes, I liked The Bouncer back in the days. I'm not touching it ever again, don't want to ruin those good memories ;;

Yeah, I feel that Tokita deserves a chance to helm something major. He worked on:
Final Fantasy IV
Live a Live
Chrono Trigger
Parasite Eve
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy IV DS
Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
Final Fantasy Dimensions
Never played the last two myself, but I heard they have their redeeming qualities. Would be interesting to see what this man could bring to the table.

While XV's setting looks to be fantastic and right up my alley, I'd still rather a whole new world and gameplay system for XVI. Preferably back to turn-based, menu-driven battles. Agni's looked like a fairly interesting setting (aside from the stereotypical Arabic-looking terrorists with AK's), I wouldn't mind something like that. Just don't make me wait 6 years between entries again.

Noctis trilogy seems like a sure thing IMO.
No more of this Trilogy shit. Do FF how FF should always be done: pre/sequel-less.
If there's a God, please no.

Considering that they put him on the board to guarantee the quality of FF as a series, I'd say it's pretty obvious that they're oblivious.
