They've already said this might be the last numbered FF.
personally i doubt this is true, i think they stand to lose far more than they stand to gain by abandoning the numbering system.
anyone who is interested in a new entry but is concerned about the "do i need to play the first 16 of them before this one" can easily learn that via google or word of mouth as it's an extremely common question.
whereas i think you might lose more sales from casual gamers by releasing a mainline game with just a subtitle and no number and having to explain that it's not actually a spinoff game like every other FF game with no number
