FF series writer Nojima is interested in seeing a third FFX game, according to an interview in the Remaster Ultimania (via @aibo_ac7)

https://twitter.com/Nova_Crystallis/status/416138589747945472

Nojima has been the scenario writer for a variety of Final Fantasy games. Most recently he's been attached to the game formerly known as Versus XIII.

 

[RE_Player]

I would buy it regardless of quality.

 

[Wario64]

Sure ill play it

 

[Squire]

And I'm sure it's going to.

It'll probably be the next game Toriyama directs as much as it pains me to say so.

But X-2 is good, so maybe that's alright?

 

[Eggbok]

If that were to happen we probably wouldn't see a release date until after 2020.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

HA HA HA HA HA the return.

Will Tidus be back?

 

[TheTux]

Didn't expect these early answers lol.

Another Square-hate thread?

I honestly wouldn't like to see it, I think FFX should have ended without a sequel (original ending).

 

[Pooya]

Toriyama's next project...

 

[co1onel]

Could go either way really.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Sure ill play it

What could possibly happen? X-2s story was pretty lame so really what else can they even do.

Spoiler

I mean shit yea I'd still buy it just cause

 

[Squire]

HA HA HA HA HA the return.

Will Tidus be back?

That new X-2 epilogue in the HD remaster is what would be the genesis for this.

 

[TnK]

Who is Nojima? Part of good or bad SE?

I have a feeling that it will suck.

 

[SirNinja]

As good an excuse as any to post this again:

 

[Earthpainting]

I'm not even sure what it would be about. They already stretched these characters and world quite thin.

I would buy it regardless of quality.

This explains a lot about Square Enix' output.

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

I would be completely fine with this. Day one purchase.

Spoiler

As long as it doesn't screw up FF X-2's perfect ending. Shit made me so happy after X's ending.

 

[Seik]

Final Fantasy X-3

Tidus and co. go on an epic adventure with their new friend: Lightning.

 

[Chemo]

I would buy it regardless of quality.

This mentality is a problem.

 

[anaron]

Oh god, when will this shit staaaaahhhhp

 

[Crash Station]

Who is Nojima? Part of good or bad SE?

Hit or miss. People consider him MUCH preferable to Toriyama on the writing front.

I'm personally a fan of nearly everything he's done and consider him to be SE's 2nd best contracted writer (just below Kato).

 

[dragonlife]

If it's a good evolution of X-2's awesome battle system, then, yeah, I'll bite.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Can't be much worse than the Lightning trilogy, so go ahead

 

[Squire]

Who is Nojima? Part of good or bad SE?

I have a feeling that it will suck.

Good SE, assuming he's not a freelancer now, which I believe he is.

He's the scenario writer for FFVII, FFVIII, and FFX, off the top of my head. Currently writing FFXV.

 

[RE_Player]

This mentality is a problem.

This explains a lot about Square Enix' output.

I don't buy everything Square makes blindly I just think revisiting this Final Fantasy universe would be funny.

 

[Deleted member 20920]

With the new characters (with horrible names from what I remember) in the voice drama that comes with the game and the X 2.5 novel, I can see X-3 already in the stages of being planned.

For the Vita please

 

[Sgblues]

What would the story be about? A continuation with old characters? Or new ones? Or some kind of spin off/alt universe type deal?

I dunno but it would be interesting....maybe.

 

[Dark_castle]

Who is Nojima? Part of good or bad SE?

I have a feeling that it will suck.

No longer a SE employee. Responsible for FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, and upcoming FFXV.

If FFX-3 were to happen, I want them to make a prequel. Braska, Auron and Jecht's adventure might be interesting. Certainly more than the lame Yuripa fan-service game.

 

[Mxrz]

Ugh. Just ugh.

Creative stagnation or trying to relieve past victories? Can't decide. I miss the days when each new Final Fantasy was a new game, new world. Doesn't help that only the more vapid entries seem to get the sequel treatment.

 

[Seanspeed]

Better than XIII-4, I guess.

 

[Crash Station]

They could always expand on the connection to VII.

 

[Replicant]

NOOOO.

Stop! STOP regurgitating old titles please. Move on to new stories.

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

Rikku's getting her own game?

Where do I throw my money!?

 

[Kastrioti]

FF7 remake first please.

 

[TnK]

As good an excuse as any to post this again:

I will buy this day one.

Nojima did those games eh? FFX is good, but not great in terms of story. I don't know how they will expand on it. At least, no Tidus please.


On the other hand, SE should not make a sequel to FF games. Those never work.

 

[jamsy]

Ugh. Just ugh.

Seconded.

Horrible idea, which I hope never gets realized. Make some new fucking games, Square. And no, your shitty iPhone "remakes" don't count.

 

[Perkel]

Great.

Good Luck with that. People sure will buy it.

 

[Squire]

They could always expand on the connection to VII.

 

[Elvick]

I think saying "Third FFX" would be a better title, I know there's a limit but still.

This could be anything. A prequel would be amazing.

A sequel... eh, not sure what they'd do.

But I'd buy it regardless.

 

[RaikuHebi]

I'll be there. (Still gotta finish the first two though).

 

[Takao]

In the image of the article it had "FF X-3" in the headline.

 

[Cerity]

I want to see this happen just to piss off fans.

 

[Dark_castle]

[zerokoolpsx]

Wut, X-3? Tidus comes back again. Not sure how it'll work.
People will buy it for sure.

And the new epilogue is straight-up called "FFX-2.5"

If anything is happening it's FFX-3.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Bring the payne

 

[deadcelledo]

 

[Erigu]

With the new characters (with horrible names from what I remember) in the voice drama that comes with the game and the X 2.5 novel, I can see X-3 already in the stages of being planned.

Considering what happens in those, yeah.

And the new epilogue is straight-up called "FFX-2.5"

That's the novel.

FF X-2 works IMO because the big upheaval at the end of FF X's storyline allowed them to make each location totally different in FF X-2. (Yevon vs post-Yevon)
But where would you go from them?

Special credits spoiler:

Sin is back. Somehow.

 

[Squire]

Eh, no.

But where would you go from them? "FF X-3" would just be like FF X-2, but a little bit different.

It'd be a PS2 game that re-uses assets from FFX?

 

[Ostinatto]

 

[AniHawk]

FF7 remake first please.

plot twist: they're one and the same.

 

[Tenki]

With Lightning or bust.
