Well Toriyama did direct two DS games while directing XIII and wrote Front Mission Evolved, directed The 3rd Birthday's scenario and helped with Dissidia's scenario as well as pair of WiiWare games.
I think it's fair to assume he's got a role on VII Remake like Event Director and is directing a mid-scale game. The Front Mission Siliconera reported would be a fitting one since he loves Front Mission. I also think there's a fair chance X-3 could happen when XV is wrapped up.

He has worked on more than one title concurrently, that's true. However, he words back in December 2014 were, "I am currently working hard on the next project. We will be able to announce it in 2015, so please look forward to that!" He never made any mention of working on more than one project, just that one. Assuming he's on FFVII Remake, he's therefore not on anything else. He said he was "working hard" on this project, meaning he's likely too busy with it to multitask it with something else.
Also, I doubt FFXV wrapping up will have any influence on FFX-3 being made. Both FFX|X-2 HD and FFXV are developed by totally different Business Divisions. I fully expect BD2 to move on to FF Type-1 after FFXV releases.

Kitase and Toriyama are both vital to the FFX universe and both belong to BD1, so how and why would BD2 make FFX-3? LOL! Not going to happen, bro. Keep your expectations in check. The only hope you have for FFX-3 is if BD1 decide to make it after FFVII Remake.
Also, Takayoshi Nakazato left FFXV around the same time as Jun Akiyama did. No idea where he is now, though. He might be in BD1 working on FFVII Remake, as he's older than Nomura and worked on the original. He was originally the Planning Director of VersusXIII, but he hasn't been seen in any FFXV staff lists since Tabata took over. As for Takatsugu Nakazawa working FFXV, that was never confirmed. It was merely fan speculation based off him being the Game Design Director of FF Type-0 and Battle Director of Crisis Core: FFVII. In the recent FFXV official staff list, his name isn't mentioned. He might also be in BD1 and working on FFVII Remake. Time will tell.

Oh, I see what you mean now. My bad, bro.
In that case, yeah, that's definitely possible However, it still depends on if Tabata decides to make another title alongside Type-1. If so, he'll likely split up his between 200 and 300 staff across those two projects. Also, there's the chance that staff from FFXV may even move over to FFXVI, as that would be a really important title for the company after FFXV. Basically, FFX-3 is still really low on the food chain right now. I think the best hope it has is BD1 deciding to make it after FFVII Remake releases. If they decide to make it right now alongside FFVII Remake, it will likely be a smartphone game like Mobius was.

All of those points are likely, but I would prefer FFXII RW released on Smartphones/Tablets with HD sprites and environments. The touchscreen gameplay really suits those platforms. That being said, I would much prefer a 3D remake of the game using the FFXII graphics engine. That's wishful thinking, though. LOL!

I had the exact same thought when I played it. When I reviewed it I said:
I’m writing this review and I’m left wondering why haven’t Square Enix done much more with this genre? REVENANT WINGS sold really well and was very well received.
I’m surprised they haven’t ported this to iOS & Android yet, I feel like this game could work quite well on smartphones and tablets and as proven by FINAL FANTASY III and IV they’re great platforms to remaster DS games for.

“We’re starting to see the visual direction,” Kitase said of the remake. “On the other hand, we’re currently working out the battle system and such through trial-and-error.”
“Since there’s a possibility that the command battle system of the old days might not work today, we’re thinking hard about what kind of direction we can take it.
“Normally, when you do a remake, it becomes somewhere along the lines of a familiar action RPG, so we’re looking at how we can put out something like Final Fantasy VII while still surprising players.
“Please don’t ask about how far into development we are and such. (Laughs.)”

Many people might be misinterpreting his words.
“Normally, when you do a remake, it becomes somewhere along the lines of a familiar action RPG, so we’re looking at how we can put out something like Final Fantasy VII while still surprising players."
When I observe this, it seems like he meant you would expect it to be an action. But they are trying to find a way to put out an turn-based game (Such as FF7) while still getting players excited.
Well, that's what it sounds like to me, however I am satisfied with what they choose. Yes, yes FF7 is my favorite. I know we have a bad name...
