It will most likely be a scholar. But I'm not expecting it to be ready for launch at all.

S-E has a habit of planting a seed in their games and game announcements. A minor and often cryptic glimpse of something they're working on in the future. Kingdom hearts had them in the form of secret enigmatic extra cutscenes after the credits. Trailers that show a lot but tell nothing. They're doing the same with the scholar now. Placing it there to hype us up and question it. Only to make that "seed" grow when the time is right.

Even though this one seems more obvious than some of the past teases they released.
