What Motomu Toriyama's project could be in order of how likely

[Sora96 17,256]

Motomu Toriyama said he'd reveal his new title in 2015 and recently Siliconera revealed a new Front Mission title is in development. Toriyama is no stranger to the Front Mission series having worked on Front Mission Evolved as the Senior Scriptwriter and as the Design Director on Front Mission Evolved said "he has a real love for the series".

 

Another possible title is Parasite Eve, Square Enix said in their fiscal report that they're rebooting old IPs, and Parasite Eve made a cameo in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trailer and Toriyama was the Scenario Director on The 3rd Birthday.

 

The only other situations which appear possible now is a Final Fantasy spin-off or a new IP. The dream of Final Fantasy X-3 appears over at least until the Final Fantasy VII remake is completed.

[HeyMouseSayCheese 1,133]

I dunno how likely another spin-off is, given they just announced World of Final Fantasy in Sony's press conference.

It'd be low, but Square Enix love FF spin-offs.

[Dio Brando 5,810]

Let's hope he doesn't direct anything especially the FFVII remake

[Sora96 17,256]

"I am currently working hard on the next project.

We will be able to announce it in 2015, so please look forward to that!"

 

Bahahaha.

 

Nomura's directing the VII remake.

[Sora96 17,256]

Do you want Final Fantasy X-3? Or would you prefer Motomu Toriyama to be making something else?

[Setrex 1,031]

I just want Toriyama to confirm what he is working on so that you don't have to keep asking us.

[Sora96 17,256]

Please! I want nothing more than that! I cannot wait!

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

If they're going to make FFX-3, as much as I don't want them to, then I want to see it before I say anything or make any sort of judgement.

 

But truly, I want to see what Mr. Toriyama is directing, hopefully a New I.P.

Well if you want a new IP, Square Enix's new studio is making one.

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

A new studio, hmm?

 

Also, what's your best guess on what Toriyama is working on?

[Heartless Plush 177]

I honestly don't want a X-3 after X-2 I just don't care to see X's story messed with anymore

[Sora96 17,256]

Tokyo RPG Factory, they're making that Project Setsuna.

 

X-3.

Well Nojima made that audio drama and novella which are canon.

Hmmm...that seems quite interesting actually!

 

And yeah, honestly, that was my best guess too.

 

*Curses the fact that the Audio Drama and Novella are canon*

[Sora96 17,256]

*Curses the fact that the Audio Drama and Novella are canon*

 

Well yeah, that's exactly it. Nojima decided to write a novella called X-2.5 and an audio drama that's included in all ports including a follow up port for PS4. Makes sense to me. Audio drama is very crazy to be fair, but it just makes the most sense and at least with a X-3 they can fix everything.

My main problem, which is also shared with X-2, is that both X-2.5 and the Audio Drama, which is basically X-2.9 or X-3 Prologue all make everything ever done in FFX completely pointless and irrelevant.

 

FFX-2 made Tidus's Sacrifice pointless, even after it was said he'd disappear forever. That wasn't so bad really, I could live with Tidus living again as a real person. What I absolutely cannot live with is the entirety of FFX-2.5. Tidus dying, getting revived as an asshole who would disappear if his origins are mentioned, the Farplane going crazy and bring back the dead and Sin, the one thing we worked so hard to finally kill off permanently and bring the Eternal Calm...and it's alive again, along with potentially Seymour, Auron, Jecht, Braska, Belgimine, Lulu's previous Summoner and who knows who else? Rendering the entire journey that was FFX absolutely in vain and pointless.

 

That's why I am really uncomfortable with the idea of FFX-3.

Well you can look at it that way or think "We can get things set right forever."

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

Well you can look at it that way or think "We can get things set right forever."

Only if they do it right.

 

I don't have much faith personally, but it's certainly better than my prior complete lack of faith when I first saw X-2.5 and the Audio Drama.

 

Do you have confidence in X-3?

[Sora96 17,256]

I am a Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase fanboy. Nuff said.

[Nero Kunivas 3,046]

Then that's all you need to say.

 

Your confidence gives me a bit of confidence. So I'm still interested in how X-3 shall turn out.

[Sora96 17,256]

I can also add that in addition to the director & producer of the original games returning, you'll also have the art director and all four scenario writers.

...now I am genuinely interested in what happens.

 

I remain somewhat sceptical, but I say bring X-3 on! I want to see how it turns out.

Fair Point

[Soravids 1,056]

Final Fantasy X-3. I don't pay much attention to who directs FF games.

[Felicia Novita 419]

I would say yes for FF X-3, since the latest audio drama is kinda...urgh. disappointing for me.
