[{"selector":"#anim-b9a96437-e791-4298-ac04-307c3f05bc57","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f5867849-0eec-4598-8671-bfb08f402228","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 167.60230%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-baad7c81-c167-4738-a8c8-430a0e27eda7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(63.18359365400297%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] The company is gearing up for the development of the next iteration of its final Fantasy title i.e. Final Fantasy XVI.

[{"selector":"#anim-48095a2e-e0b0-49f0-9f7a-dca3fe68366c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-687aa436-312c-4f7a-a545-8df2e62d9ee8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 168.65498%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae24b62b-9b78-4cd0-8755-0fc5e1ee6cef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(18.1377551529825%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Well, the company seems to be working on a few more projects besides working on Final Fantasy XVI.

[{"selector":"#anim-abfcc52d-dbef-4f5e-bfd6-f984d7df956d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6c1c8976-1605-4254-b4c0-55ba0f7a8e7e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 157.68514%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57f6a022-59a8-4c07-a421-c6eb18f3b98b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(11.830357046860094%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] Yoshinari Kitase teased the project unrelated to the FFVII that has been running in the background at the Official Final Fantasy portal website.

[{"selector":"#anim-987cb4c1-ae40-4a22-a7da-56b2bf1688ce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7b15341-167b-4e6e-a8c0-57de3f0fc192","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 169.70759%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d4a009a-e29f-4448-8a4d-b967f5e7a421 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-47.23772311828867%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] Kitase also shed some light on the status of the title in development, i.e., Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

[{"selector":"#anim-5935cfde-6921-4cd8-9523-90ea63e8af9b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3539dd4d-a4ae-4bb8-bf5d-48f71ff9d0b3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 157.68514%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-674d5767-2d4b-468f-9f45-b605fdf58057 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-40.20647311828867%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] It is still not clear if the teases made by Square Enix were related to the Final Fantasy series or is an entirely new project.

[{"selector":"#anim-de76e563-a223-49f1-af9e-da676d61c167","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-347c379a-3465-41e7-8b41-077d6823c2e0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 168.65498%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4793e8e2-f979-4efb-aa70-421e5317a4de [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(37.50046517604406%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] As for the unrelated titles, it could be Final Fantasy Tactics or Final Fantasy Remakes as these two titles were in the Nvidia leak.
