Question about when to wait for the next number plate Final fantasy and who should lead its development is something that fans of the cult role-playing series have been vigorously arguing about over the past few years.

But it seems that the dreams of some fans are not destined to come true. About it Yoshida personally stated during the broadcast with the developers Final Fantasy XIV for Japanese viewers. The producer and game designer noted that he was somewhat tired of rumors about his involvement in the next “Last Fantasy”. In the foreseeable future, he will continue to deal only with his MMO project..

Nevertheless, even despite such a straightforward answer, users still have quite substantial reasons to believe that Yoshida is somehow involved in the development of another game. In November 2019, Square Enix updated the list of vacancies at one of the company’s in-house studios, which Naoki Yoshida himself heads.
