I'm not all that fond of the universe. But I don't see why not.
And this time they could have a complete free-swimming Blitzball game. And free swimming in general.
Also, Yuna deserves her boyfriend back.

After how much I hated X-2, please no. Unless we FINALLY get the Auron, Jecht, Braska prequel that we wanted. If it's more TidusxYuna, I might commit sudoku.

I wouldn't like a prequel, since I don't like those characters.

They should do a ff8 remake with s

And it will all be in preparation for the VII remake.
FFXV is a remake of FFVIII!

It might work, but I'd rather see new worlds, even though FFX is my favourite FF right now.
To be fair they are pretty damn likely to announce and release FFXVI, FFXVII and FFXVIII before XV comes out.

I love Pokken!
It would probably arrive before FFXV

Can it be a prequel to FFX?

6-8 years ago if the higher up employees (Kitase, Nomura, Nojima) proposed this for consoles then there's probably a chance it would be greenlit, but the Square of today I highly doubt it would be.
On the console side of things they're sticking with what will guarantee them top dollar with their Japanese IP's so until they turn their fortunes around. It's highly unlikely.

Is GILGAMESH in it? If not I won't take much interest in it. But if Nojima wants to do it then by all means.

I suppose they could expand on Shinra's story crossover tease and maybe explore the beginnings of JENOVA or something, since our beloved calamity from the skies one of the only things we don't yet know the origin of. Other than that, yeah, a prequel would be better. The problem is simply that the main story is told and the world explored. To get a new kind of story, they would probably have to go with the Shinra thing.

They need to move on from beating the dead horse. FFXIII's expanded story did more harm than good. FFVII's Compilation also fuckin convoluted FFVII's world(and Nojima was a big part in the Compilation). FFX-2 was good, but in a "good enough" type of way. Where else can they take FFX? I don't see any valid road to venture other than introducing something entirely new and opening a can of worms in the process. Leave well enough alone and move the fuck on!
Well, it doesn't have to retcon anything. It could very well just be about some new people in the same world without destroying established characters/stories. Only if they do it right, of course 
I mean, I loved FF X but not so much that I couldn't take a new spin on it because I wouldn't want it to destroy my memories. The fun and memories I've had with X wouldn't suddenly disappear when X-3 comes out eventually, you know. For me, X-2 didn't do any harm either because I saw it as a seperate thing anyway.
Does anybody know what the X-2.5 novel stuff is about?

I could see a creatively bankrupt company churning this out in the next five years. Go for it. Like everything else FF related nowadays, I will have no interest in buying it.
This is what I want to see in a FF X-3: Yuna and crew pass through a magical portal. It leads to the future/another reality. Where... They cause a chain of events that leads to a literal canonical retcon of the FF-XIII Trialogy <sic> before returning to their own time/reality. Tidus stays a real boy. Everybody wins.

So, what would make them creative in making a FF title?
Going back to old school with turn-based or ATB with some twist with tried and true fantasy setting. Is that really what counts as "creative" for you?
Let's not forget that the company IS still putting out non-FF's on consoles and handheld systems, like Drakengard 3 for PS3 or The World Ends With You for DS, or The Last Remnant for 360/PC.

Part of the reason an Auron/Braska/Jecht prequel would be amazing is that tragic prequel games *always* kick ass. See: MGS3, KH: Birth By Sleep.

There "creative" games are mostly published and not developed in house and that's weird considering how big SE Japan is.
Oh? Care to elaborate? The game ends with
Yuna happy, Tidus alive, Spira stabilized, Lulu's and Wakka's baby being born, Zanarkand being saved from tourist trap hell, and Paine's arc resolved.
iam plain shocked how many people would actually buy this.
i know the shitstorm back then, when ffx-2 was announced and how less people were attracted by stupid teenage-behaving mid 20ies instead of a little bit more of a ff7(that existed even back then)
i lik yuna and rikku. but please... dont bring this back.
i want something like ff9 or ff6. not a sequel but a fresh new entry.
is this so hard to start up or develop???

On home consoles? Apparently. Fortunately, there is the Ninty 3DS, and Bravely Default.
AFAIK, SE Japan isn't that big. I mean, it's relatively small for a "AAA" developer. That's why they were having so much trouble adapting to HD development (it requires a fuckton more workforce). While it's somewhat normal for, say, Ubisoft to put 600-700 people working on something like Assassin's Creed nowadays and still have plenty of other projects under way, when Square Enix did the same with FFXIV, they had to stop work on & cancel a lot of other projects and could only do stuff like FFXIII-2 at the same time by getting Tri-Ace to help with the game's development. And that said, didn't they also outsource a lot of FFXIV work? So... yeah, SQEX's problem really is that they AREN'T big enough to develop AAA console level projects by their own with the kind of production values people expect from them & console games. As the DS & PSP generation of handhelds prove, they are perfectly fine producing games of that scope with decent pace, but the jump to PS3 and now PS4 level development simply requires a lot more developers than something like TWEWY, BBS and Bravely Default do.
Also, some devs have jumped ship to SQEX after some of those games. For example, some of Jupiter (TWEWY) went on to work for SQEX after TWEWY, if I remember correctly

ah, people in the year 2013 who still think that ff7 was dark and gritty and mature and nuanced and stuff

I loved X and X-2 but think this is a dumb idea. Move onto another FF world and characters. While I could see some buying it, I don't think the demand is really there. Too much time has passed for it to be relevant to a large audience. Look at how how that garbage called FF IV After Years turned out.

Bring back the Dress Sphere and battle system and I'll be there day one. Oh also don't pick up the story from the ending where
Tidus lives. The ending where he stays dead is far better and more emotionally resonant for Yuna's character
I'm of the same mind. I liked how X-2 showed a world that was recovering and growing. I don't need to see more of the FFX and X-2 cast.
Haha, I guess my spoiler warning on the first page worked wonders!

I wish they would make a proper FFVII-2. Using the original game engine.
