Square Enix Teases A New Console JRPG
If you like the Final Fantasy series, you have no shortage of games to play today. Not only did Final Fantasy Type-0 HD release, but the demo for Final Fantasy XV came with it. According to Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda, the company has another console RPG in the works.
Speaking to Nikkei Trendy, Matsuda says: “For fiscal 2015, I think we have a considerable amount of high-end games both inside and outside the country. Starting with Final Fantasy XV, we’ll be putting out news for Japanese RPGs.”
Matsuda then says that Square Enix has a surprise in the form of “a JRPG for home game machine(s).”
We'll have to wait to find out exactly what this new project is, but there's a chance it could be connected to the Final Fantasy Type-0 sequel that was hinted at in a leaked video yesterday.

Our Take
I'm really trying to not get my hopes up here. Every time Square Enix says it has some kind of announcement, I think about any number of dream projects that I'd like to see the company tackle. Then, I'm usually disappointed. So I'll eagerly await the official announcement, but I'm not going to believe any rumors until I hear the news from Square Enix itself.
