New characters but in a different part of that world, different context/circumstances per se. Could careless about MP, wasn't much of a fan.
Stop this "no sequel" shit.
I'd like the sequel to feature Ellie in her early twenties, maybe after the death of Joel.
Multiplayer should have co-op missions similar to Uncharted, but maybe tighter in the sense that they could have a mini story/objective to go with each mission.
A survival mode with infected is needed as well. I'd like some PvP modes that feature infected as bots too.

No Joel and Ellie please. I very much felt their story was done... and too much information about their lives later on will undermine the ending of the first. I don't want to see Ellie continually ruminating on the cure/survival's guilt, because I liked the last moment where they ended that topic (for us, the audience) with a collectively agreed upon lie.
Very clever idea.
However, as someone who just watched that scene last night: I believe it is implicit that that family is doomed by Joel's inaction.
It symbolizes Joel's first step into "protect my own" survival mode (which culminates in the ending of the game), and it symbolizes how other family units like Joel/Sarah/Tommy's are very much at risk, bringing the danger home.

No Joel and Ellie. Bring back one-shot stories in media.
MP was good first MP shooter I enjoyed since cs / quake . I don't like cod etc. I'll let them improve it however.
Campaign
New characters Joel and ellie are done . It could tie into the Joel elli story though . One idea is if we play as the characters gunned down in Pitt but don't know that and you only realize it towards the end you're the ones shot which Joel and elli saw.you think it can't all be for nothing but it is.

One thing for sure, Joel's story has ended. I kind of want new characters.

I think it could pick up with Joel a few months after, trying to come to terms with some of his decisions, and Ellie gradually clocking on to the truth. It could be a 50/50 split control wise, and see the same story from a different perspective, similar to The Affair. Joel could move on And leave Ellie behind, and we then take control of a Firefly member tracking Ellie down for a cure.
Either that, or Joel as a Teenager before any of this happen, and call it The First of Us
I thought it was clear Ellie already knew Joel was lying.
I think LoU ended so well, having a sequel with Joel and Ellie seems pointless, unless they really have some inspired plans. If they really want to do a sequel, telling a new story with new characters could work. I think Left Behind proved they could tell more interesting stores outside of Joel/Ellie.

I'd rather they not do a sequel. It's not an interesting enough world to keep telling stories in it rather than create something new, so I'm expecting it to be Ellie main character with fan service Joel references thrown in. Whatever they do with it, I'd much rather have a new interesting world for Naughty Dog to tell a story in.

I'd like to go somewhere new. Joel + Ellie story ended great, with some sense of hope. Sequel with Ellie would likely throw that ending into shit. Something bad had to happen, unless she just simply decided to travel after a few years and head somewhere far away to see what else is out there. I'd be kinda okay with that, actually.
I'd still rather see a fresh start with entirely fresh faces.

Yeah you're right. I forget sometimes because it's not made abundantly clear but I'm pretty sure she knows.
I want a sequel. I always imagined The Last of Us 2 would be set 10 or so years after The Last of Us and would feature Ellie as the main character with Joel either being dead or MIA.
I wouldn't want a sequel set immediately after The Last of Us.
If not an Ellie sequel I hope they give us a game set somewhere else in the universe.
It's Naughty Dog, whatever they do will be brilliant.

I want them both back, older obviously but it wouldn't be the same without them.

I don't want a TLoU sequel.
But if it had to happen, I did fall in love with this a little bit.

Boss fight against Joel LETS FUCKIN DO IT
I thought that TLoU had a perfect ending and don't really want to return to those characters (although I will play a sequel with them if that's what they choose to make). And I didn't find much particularly interesting in the world of TLoU outside of the characters so I would be fine if there is no sequel and they make a new ip. That being said they may just make a great cast of new characters and I would be hooked again.
Never really touched the MP, so I won't comment on that.

The path of least resistance, narratively, to me is:
Half of the game (or less than that) is Joel in his past, with Tommy, as they do some messed up shit following Sarah's death. The remainder of the game is Ellie dealing with an enemy Joel and Tommy made during that period of his life.
And that's pretty much the best I could come up with. It's a really tough sequel to conceptualize.

Going by the Fireflies actions, I seriously doubt they are "Heroes". They would probably monopolize the cure for their own personal gain. They are terrorists after all.
Ehhhhh
Hey, I don't blame the guy. I murdered the shit out of those doctors. But I think the cost of his decision is plainly stated. There was a chance for a cure, and he squandered it. I'd like to hear why you think otherwise, though.

Bingo. I have closure with both of them as characters.

Continue the Joel and Ellie story, but with control of an older Ellie this time.
I'd take it, but there's no point in doing a sequel without them. Might as well just start a new IP.

Imagine in the sequel, Joel turns and Elie has to kill him.
I don't mind the same characters returning for the sequel, but I seriously wish they'd move the setting out of NA.
Post-Apocalyptic NA is nice and all, but I want to see new locales, like Asia/Southern Europe/Africa/Deserts/Tropical biomes, and etc.
TLoU settings were dreary as fuck :/

Condemns the human race? Where would you take the character after Joel allowed
his "daughter" to be slaughtered for medical experiments?
It's always interesting where people bring down their moral judgements upon a character.
For my part, within the reality of the story, Joel was justified. He had to commit
the major sin of throwing away hope for the cure, the minor sin of slaughtering the Fireflies, in order to save the one he loved.

I'd rather new IP, though I know that's probably impossible given TLoU's success.
This is such a common yet completely bullshit misunderstanding of the game's universe that it's practically a litmus test regarding TLoU discussion.

I fail to see this at all. Joel and Ellie didn't exist before the last game. ND would just come up with equally good, original characters while being freed from having to put together an entire new universe. It's the best of both worlds unless you're determined to have Joel and Ellie's story driven into the ground. How about a prequel to TLoU where it turns out all of the characters already met before? Let it go.

Why start over? They're not trying to Ass Creed this and make a sprawling franchise out of it. If you write a sequel, continue where you left off. Otherwise just do something else.

I like TLOU as a self contained story. It was so perfectly done that I feel any expansion to their story will feel arbitrary. Particularly with the open Ended way that it ended. They grew so much together as characters that the only next steps are to drive conflict between them
Maybe an older Ellie with a kid of her own
But again, I can't see many scenarios that really drive them out into an adventure in the way that TLOU did originally
