Here's an updated list of all the stuff that suggest an FFX-3.
[*]Auron spotted near the end in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trailer
[*]Motomu Toriyama
confirming he is working hard on a new project that will be announced this year. While this is looking more likely to be VII Remake, he's not directing it.
[*]Kazushige Nojima's infamous novella X-2.5
[*]Nojima's audio drama that follows X-2.5
[*]Nojima admitting he would like to see a X-3
[*]Nojima wrote X-2.5 and the audio drama thinking "this should be a game"
[*]Nojima also revealed "there’s a plot from start to finish, and if there’s some way we can have it show up elsewhere… well, so I’ve said to Square Enix."
[*]X/X-2 HD's amazing sales - It sold over 500,000 copies in Japan in less than a year and was a best seller in China getting it's very own PS4 bundle
[*]X & X/X-2 HD's recent awards
[*]Square Enix's quick PlayStation 4 port of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster that still includes the audio drama. The audio drama was one of their key points for picking up the PS4 port, saying it's "fully intact".
[*]Toriyama being on the Final Fantasy Committee*
[*]Shintaro Takai, art director of the Final Fantasy X series including X/X-2 HD and Daisuke Watanabe (scenario writer on X & X-2) are both without their names attached to any announced projects.
[*]Verendus from NeoGAF believes a X spin-off is in development
[*]ff-reunion.net thinks Toriyama is making X-3. - They continually believe this.
[*]Square Enix's continued promotion of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on PS4 - they were promoting it 5 months after release.
[*]Character designer Tetsuya Nomura revealed in October his favourite Final Fantasy woman at the moment is Yuna. He later had a drawing of Tidus & Yuna released by Square Enix to thank people for their support of X/X-2 HD.
[*]BD1 (Yoshinori Kitase's division with Toriyama in it) has held multiple events/updates related to the Final Fantasy X series in their title Mobius Final Fantasy.
*Motomu Toriyama is a member of the four person Final Fantasy Committee and the other three are in charge of a AAA Final Fantasy title. The main purpose of the committee is according to Kitase "We get together and update each other with current information or issues on our projects. [We] make sure there are no release date overlaps or bug issues." In other words, If Toriyama isn't heavily involved on a new Final Fantasy game it would make no sense for him to be on the committee.
