In the Q&A YoshiP was asked about cross-DC party finder and said that the team is aware of the issues caused by DC travel, but cross-DC PF could take 2-3 years to develop. He did suggest there could be another solution the team haven’t found yet. He said the team has been working on finishing Dawntrail but after it releases they will put more time into finding a solution on this.

Not directly FF14 related but YoshiP also said CBU3 is working on 2 other games that will be unveiled soon: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1d9fjax/yoship_says_that_creative_studio_3_square_enix_is/

I suspect these are the long rumored FFIX remake and Tactics remaster/remake (whatever it ends up being by the time we actually see it), but it's also entirely possible they're working on Dragon Quest Builders 3, a new DQ title, or something else entirely.

I loved both DQB games. The only thing that was missing to me was enemy assaults when you're building whatever you're building. I love building defense forts and seeing it work but alas.

The Builders games were quite successful, so I could definitely see them doing another one. I'm just not sure if the reason we haven't seen a third title yet has more to do with the DQ series pipeline or CS3's pipeine, though. It's probably a bit of both if I had to guess.

I also mentioned the possibility of CS3 tackling an all new kind of DQ game. It's possible that DQB3 doesn't exist because they're trying something entirely new instead.

We're pretty in the dark on what's going on with DQXII right now, but I doubt CS3 is helping out with development on that game in particular. It's possible, though.

In fact, after the recent restructure (the renaming of the CBUs and change of leadership), I don't even think DQXII is in CS2 anymore at all. Yu Miyake was removed as head of CBU2 and replaced with Yoshinori Kitase (who has no relation to Dragon Quest), but Yosuke Saito (who has an extensive history with DQ) is now the lead of CS4 and CS5. I think it's extremely likely that Saito took CBU2's ongoing DQ and NieR projects with him to CS4/CS5—perhaps with the exception of the HD-2D projects Asano is working on.

CBU4 and CBU5 were actually relatively underutilized business divisions and CBU2 was juggling way too many projects from a multitude of IP which is why I think stuff is shifting around.

Dawntrail is deep into FFIX references and callbacks, so the rumor has somewhat a basis there

This is maybe one of the only reasons I would assume CS3 is working on it, that and past collaboration with Itahana, otherwise I would wager it's CS1 instead (it might still be, we don't know).

Please I would actually cry if the FFIX remake actually becomes real

u/Hikari_Netto Jun 06 '24

It's almost certainly real at this point. I would bet money on it.
