Projects can conflict with other projects in various ways. For example, project A being the marketing focus right now but project B is getting in the way.
Probably won't be a factor for FFXVI though. It's still far out and FFVII:R and KHIII are next. Who knows though! Maybe FFXVI will conflict with FFVII:R!

I definitely would want Final Fantasy XVI to be set in a world that is Medieval like FFIX and maybe blend it with somethng like FFX's world. I definitely wouldn't want this to have the chibi look of IX even though I love that game to death. I think they should retain realistic character proportions that XV has. I would really love it if Ito was working on the game as director. Whatever they are doing with FFXVI I'm sure it will be Imaginative and beautiful. Can't wait to see what they are working on in the coming months or years.
They're not going to charge ahead with XVI until at least XIITZA is released, maybe even until after the first "episode" of VIIR is out.
Also, and this is speculation, they won't announce it until they're about to be done. Like, maybe tease the existence of the game a year in advance and get the full details out once they have a date they can definitely hit. We're not going to see a two-year campaign for this like we did with XV.

I actually believe the game has already been in production for a while. I am betting that FFVII Remake part 1 will be released mid 2018 and then late 2019 for a possible release for FFXVI which would allow Square to release a FF game between part 1 and 2 of the FFVII remake. So Kingdom Hearts 3 could be released next year as Squares big AAA title then release the other two titles I mentioned over the next couple of years after KHIII's release.
By which team is XVI being worked on tho. Kitase's team will be busy with VIIR, Tabata will be busy with Type-1. Ito might come back but I think its unlikely at this point he hasent worked on a console game in ages. It could be Toriyama but I don't think square will allow him to touch mainline FF again after the XIII debocle.
What do you mean come back?. I thought Ito still worked at Square?. I thought he was working on some project over there. Also I think Toriyama gets far too much hate. I don't actually think he is a bad director but I understand why some FF fans may not have liked his FNC FF trilogy. I say give the man another shot.
The game is definitely in planning/pre-production, but I don't think they did much beyond the concept phase and mayhaps some early testing for gameplay ideas. This is speculation, of course - we don't know who is currently free at Square Enix Japan (though they do have multiple games in the pipeline - there's the aforementioned FF titles, but also Kingdom Hearts III (which is made by SE's Osaka team), Dragon Quest XI (which will have two to three distinct versions) and SaGa Scarlet Grace (though that's about to be wrapped up, so Kawazu will be free again) plus some mobile stuff) so there could be more progress to the game than we think - but I elect to believe that they won't go ahead with it until the core staff on one of the current FF projects can fully dedicate themselves to it.
Ito is currently working as the producer of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. I have my doubts he'll
, but that is solely limited to being the director proper - he might still have a hand in however XVI's going to turn out, but the director will likely be a protegé of his (maybe the director of XIITZA, Takashi Katano, will do XVI). Tbh, I am more worried about the writing/scenario staff than the director.

So, that's at least 12 "Business Divisions" that could be working on FFXVI. The idea that it's being worked on in some capacity alongside all these other projects is totally not crazy.

I know this is your specaulation and I totally respect it, but the idea is SE doesn't start working the next FF title until the one they are currently working on is close to be released is very bad. SE should be working on different mainline FF titles simultaneously and they have been doing this for ages.When we see FFXV will be released in two in months and FFVII Remake in development, it is not unwise for us to assume that FFXVI in "full production". Personally, I think FFXVI is about 50% finished.
