Considering X and X-2 are the last two Final Fantasy games I truly loved (XII is good and XIII is awful), I can get behind this idea. Love the characters, love the world. They need their mojo back to do it justice. They also someone who can write a half decent scenario and story.

On a second thought, this is an absolute terrible idea. I want SE to focus on putting FFXV out as soon as possible, not making more and more other random titles, pushing XV down the priority list.

Auron, Jecht and Braska. Prequel!

Going back to spira ? yes.
FF XIII sequels kind of mess ? No way.

Ehhhh I feel pretty weary of the idea of a 3rd X game. X's one of my absolute, favorite FF's (and games) ever, and it took me just until very recently to kinda accept X-2 for what it is. After the lows that Toriyama has reached this past gen, I'm frankly really mortified at the thought of what he'd do to X's universe with a new sequel to the game.

God no.
Make me a FF XII sequel instead. Or at least a FF XII HD version.

It should be about Braska, Jecht, and Auron's attempt to stop Sin, to flesh our their backstories, or about an adult Vidina mapping out parts of the world that have been uncovered in the years since the eternal calm started (and an attempt at bringing back Saga-style questing, but knowing SE we would probably get something unsatisfying

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Since I loathed both X and XIII, its honestly been pretty bizarre to see them get such incredible focus from the company. If they really did dedicate resources to an X-3 over the seemingly pretty needed 7-remake trump card they're going to be forced to pull soon, I'd be bewildered.

I'm ok with this so long as he doesn't write the story.

He's freelance, but still works on projects for them. Currently FFXV's writer.
I'd rather have final fantasy XII-2
Listen to this guy.
I swear FF12 has to be the redheaded stepchild of the final fantasy series yet it's one of the best. It's the Deep Space 9 of the Star Trek universe.

How much more of a fashion show would it be?

In 2003.
I wouldn't say Nojima is the only good writer Square has ever had. Both Jun Akiyama and Hiroki Chiba are strong talents too, and they're all currently working on XV.

X-2's scenario is in hindsight pretty unique and clever. I mean, what other JRPG is based on the notion that "now you've saved the world, what do you do next"?
For me its one of those stories where the central plotline (vegnagun) is actually just a macguffin the pursuit of which is used mainly to hang lots of smaller, tangential character-based threads off. So while I can understand why some people would think that its just weakly plotted, lacking as it does a huge, high-concept central plot like the original, its got its own smaller charms.

Each sequel to a numbered title appeals to a smaller and smaller fanbase. Why not use the talent and time to make a fresh scenario for 16? Why not make an impressive new ip? Why aren't they doing this right now?

They probably are but not ready to tell us about it yet.
Its called Revenant Wings.

A prequel with Jecht, Braska and Auron would absolutely be brilliant given that Jecht is drunk most of the journey.
To be honest, what else can happen after 10-2? The setting of 10-2 is a post-Sin world where at last the new generation can rebel against the stifling traditions of the Yevon religion that revolved around Sin. What is at stake is war so shortly after the disappearance of a menace that seemed to be the only reason the people were united. That story seems quite resolved at the end of 10-2 though, I can't imagine what other villain can be cooked out to drag the story longer in a good way.

Isn't it a little late for that? I guess if the remaster does really, really well they can think on it, but what more story could they really tell?

New governments can spring up that are vying for control of the government. The entire eastern side of Spira is unexplored in-game because it is not important to the pilgrimage, but now that that is not a concern, they could find all sorts of shit over there
I think the new audio episode will give us some significant hints about what they have in mind.

If they can make it with a small team that doesn't have significant impact on the development of FFXV and higher, why not? When you have a huge catalog of IP and content, why not have some fun with it and do some fan service?

It must be really hard to just leave these universes and characters be and create something new.

We all know this is never the case though. Kingdom Hearts and FF versus were delayed indefinitely so Square could work on FF Xiii sequels and FF XIV upgrades.
FFX-2 ends the series very well. There is no need for a third game. At least LR was needed to end the cliffhanger of FFXIII-2...Tribes of Trusty

I greatly enjoyed FFX and FFX-2.
With that said, I don't think it would be interesting to expand Yuna Tidus and co's story. FFX-2 felt fresh because of FFX's ending and the contrast between Spira pre and post-FFX.
Writing FFX-3 as the direct prequel of FFVII ? Now that would be interesting, if only to see the meltdown

If it happens plz resurrect Auron and Zack from the lifestream so they could become bros and kick some ass
I'd like an action rpg in the ff12 world with Balthier as the main character.
