    The newest edition of Famitsu has come out and it was littered with information about rumors regarding Square Enix and various Japanese developers. There were various things touched upon by Square Enix:

    According to Yoshinori Kitase, Final Fantasy X-3 is NOT in development, per early comments following the release of the Final Fantasy X-2.5 novella and -Will- audio drama. The additional stories were not created with the intention of leading into a third title. So no more Yuna for us!

    Dissidia: Final Fantasy director Mutsunori Takahashi has also expressed an interest in releasing another Dissidia Title. If you're fans of the Dissidia series then this should be an exciting notion. We may get to see some more of our favorite characters from the earlier games represented in 3D glory again.

    Theathrythm: Final Fantasy producer Ichirou Hazama has also shown an interested in another game. He has stated in the past that they resonate with the younger audience of Final Fantasy fans. So once we finally get Curtain Call on our shores we may be able to look forward to another entry.

    Final Fantasy XV though? Still no new updates. They merely said that development is going "well". In an earlier report with Nikkei Trendy, President and CEO Yosuke Matsuda said that the company felt “very confident” that both Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III will please fans. So that's a plus!

    Are you sad about there not being a new entry into the Final Fantasy X universe? Are you looking forward to another Dissidia game or another Theatrhythm game if we ever get Curtain Call? Surprised about the lack of news about XV? Share your thoughts!

I rather take it like a Final Fantasy X "Chain of Memories" and wait for the sequel.
      They seriously split them up? That makes absolutely no sense. Sure, in real life people often end relationships over really dumb things, but considering what they both went through, it makes no sense to have their relationship fall apart. In a fictional story it just don't work like that. Seems like drama for drama's sake if you ask me. If lazy writing like that is what would have been in store for FFX-3, then screw it, it really shouldn't happen.

      The sequel can fix this. As it is now ending it is what makes no sense.

      It is an official addition to the story, yes. However it could be retconned. Right now it is canonical however.

      Good news. They need to finish XV and KHIII before they get to work on anything else major.

      It was once. Remember the Guardia Millenial Fair? Most annoying button-mashing minigame ever (seriously, you do realize how fast you need to mash to win that thing?).

      I'm not sure it still is. "Minigame" seems to be a bit outside Square's current design philosophy.
