Also, Yoko Taro doesn't even work at Square Enix, so that's not happening regardless.
I know. But that would actually be a plus, tbh. I don't think Nomura is a good director. I don't know what to think of Yoshi-P, FF14 is dope, FF16 apparently is very different/divisive. The last really, really good FF was 12 for me.
Maybe they can get Matsuno to direct a new one set in Ivalice. That would be my dream. But who knows if he'd be up for it. I honestly don't know who could direct a FF17 at Square. Kawazu is the last OG remaining and he seems to be happy with his SaGa games.
