While FF16 got a placeholder Twitter account a while ago, it wasn’t made official. However, Androbliz reports that the account has been registered under an official Square Enix Domain. A Twitter account would mean that developers are ready for official communication. Hence, we can expect some news directly from the horse’s mouth.

Gamesradar recently reported that in April 2019, Square had published a job listing on its Japanese website. The listing was for an opening in the production team of FF14, for a followup project. It was also followed by Naoki Yoshida’s promotion to the board of directors. Yoshida had gone on record, back in 2017, to admit that he would love to work on FF16. His success in rebooting Final Fantasy 14 puts him in a great position to direct FF16.
Androbliz also pointed out that Shinji Hashimoto, one of the key figures involved in the Final Fantasy franchise, had retweeted the PS5 Showcase announcement. Going by his track record, Shinji only retweets such events if there are announcements related to the projects he handles.
