Final Fantasy III director Hiromichi Tanaka let slip in a recent interview with Pro-G that there's a new Square MMORPG in the works for our favorite Microsoft console:

Pro-G: So what are you working on now? Any plans for the future?

HT: I'm still working on XI as it's on-going but we are also working on a next-generation MMORPG for 360 and Vista but PS3 is a possibility.

I'm hoping that he means something more significant than just an expansion to Final Fantasy XI. I played that game for a few months on the PS2 and while I enjoyed the aesthetic the gameplay was too team-oriented for my tastes. I'm crossing my fingers for FFXII-Online.
