![]() Rumours around Final Fantasy XVI have begun to float around with some believing that it’ll be headed up by Final Fantasy XIV director and saviour Naoki Yoshida. Is Luminous Productions working on Final Fantasy 16? Interestingly, Luminous also confirmed to Alphr that Tabata has “resigned from Square Enix and moved to Luminous Productions as the COO/Head of Studio.” Obviously, we’ve asked for clarification if he was pushed or instead wished to head up the studio. This suggests that Tabata will stay on with the development of Final Fantasy XV but, as he isn’t named in the statement, his role is still unclear. While the development and operations of Final Fantasy 15 will continue to be handled by the current Luminous Productions staff that produced Final Fantasy 15, its publishing will continue to be conducted by Square Enix.” Responding to our questions about the fate of Final Fantasy XV‘s planned expansions, a Luminous Productions spokesperson explained that “ Final Fantasy 15 will continue to be handled in the future as a valued IP. His latest project was to work on downloadable content for Final Fantasy XV until 2019 but it’s unclear if he’ll still be heading up that project now he’s over at Luminous Productions. ![]() Most of his titles have appeared on portable formats like the PlayStation Portable and mobile devices and revolve around Square’s Final Fantasy series. Tabata’s past projects at Square Enix also don’t provide a whole host of clues as to what to expect. However, in the same interview, Tabata also teased that Square Enix’s “ban on side work has also been lifted, so I’d like to try something.” Perhaps it’s bold to think that Square provided Tabata with an entirely new studio for a side-project, but who knows.
