Final Fantasy X-3 Not Happening, Square Enix Confirms

In a recent interview, Kitase confirmed that FFX-3 isn't in work. New character designs for Tidus and Yuna are just fanservices, he also said.

My opinion is.....GOOD! But. Did they just ruin X-2's ending?

Not in development doesn't necessarily mean it won't happen.

However, after the abomination of continuity they've done with the novella and audio drama, I sincerely hope they don't carry it on.

The only reason I'd want them to make X-3 now is if it completely retcons the bullshit they've added, and goes along a very different path, i.e. a good one.

I wonder if they were planning on making something sooner, but the bad feedback from the new story has made them think twice. They simply cannot leave the canon on such an awful piece of crap, though. Which is why I do hope a X-3 wipes this completely clean.

Meh. I'd prefer they work on a new numbered entry or IP anyway. We've had enough sequels of late.

Seriously, like what I said in the thread I made here a while back here "Did they just ruin FFX/X-2 happy ending" and that was for the audio drama. I recently found out about the novel. Call me sensitive but I actually felt a bit disturbed, It's ridiculous. Sounds like a poorly written fanfic. I'm disappointed, SquareEnix you better fix this travesty!!! Even if it means announcing the novel and audio drama as non-cannon and a retcon. Why did they even do this to begin with *sigh* ...

Praise be to Yevon:cookie:
The FFX universe already has a happy ending,let the future generations of gamers experience these 2 games as they are

I have this AU in mind where the novel and the audio drama doesn't happen plotline-wise, but there're still Chuami and Kurgum, but their story is set ten years after Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission.

This is good news, though it begs the question why they felt the need to expand on the ending of FFX at all. It was perfectly fine as-is, fan service or not, and the novel, if taken as canon, really destroys X-2, and even parts of X. It's dumb. That said, if nothing is coming off it, I shall just erase it from my personal canon... haha.

 

[Crystal Power]

Yes, I'm hoping its not canon at all though. I hope that novel is never officially translated either, especially if they dont plan to wrap things up with a decent ending.

What is seen cannot be unseen~ But on a serious note i was really disappointed by the Audio Drama and now especially since there is no purpose to it. I was never one to support such sequels but the fact that they ruined such a good ending boils me up. I did find even the second game pointless, but the ending wasn't bad. Ruining the good ending and leaving us with this was a bad shock. Still i hope no sequel is announced even in the future and can just get a new numbered game.
