Predict Motomu Toriyama's new title - "This may be our last chance"

[Sora96 17,256]

Square Enix's E3 2015 press conference is only 3 days away and there is a good chance Motomu Toriyama's new title will be revealed here. Here you can make your final prediction what it is, for as Tidus says in Final Fantasy X: This may be our last chance.

 

To help you make your final prediction here's a few things.

 

Firstly on December 27, 2014 in a developer survey with 4Gamer.net, Motomu Toriyama provided a message regarding his new title. goldpanner was nice enough to provide me with a new translation of this last month:

 

 

Q4. Aspirations for 2015, or a message for the readers of 4Gamer.

I am currently working hard on the next project.

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

 

Secondly, in an interview with Famitsu.com, Motomu Toriyama confirmed he was in Business Division 1, which is headed by Yoshinori Kitase. This Business Division structure started in December 2013. Of course this is no surprise since these two have worked together since the turn of the century as director & producer respectively and even before that on Final Fantasy VII in different roles. So of course, whatever Toriyama is directing, Kitase is of course producing.

 

Thirdly, the following key staff have not worked on any announced or released projects since the completion of Motomu Toriyama's last title, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.

• Yuji Abe (Game Design Director)
• Nobuyuki Matsuoka (Battle System Director)
• Daisuke Watanabe (Lead Scenario Writer)
• Masashi Hamauzu (Lead Composer)

Lastly, here's a list of all the titles Motomu Toriyama has ever worked on as well as his roles on them.

 

• Bahamut Lagoon - Story event planner
• Final Fantasy VII - Event planner

Hey clever title! Anyway, I'm going with new FF spin-off. Everything else seems unlikely to me.

Was only fitting!

I really wished it was a new TWEWY sequel. But knowing these people, probably just another FF XIII game as a sequel.

I love LR:FFXIII, but it ended. If he releases a new spinoff I am just going to be so disappointed. It ended. Everyone's happy. I'd like to actually let them live.I'd be thrilled for a Parasite Eve Remaster Collection. The series has interested me for awhile but I have never been able to play them darn 3rd Birthday PSP only.

Lightning Returns Again. In all seriousness though, hoping for TWEWY

"This may be our last chance"? What does he mean by that? 

[Terra VII-XIII 5]

Following Sora96's prediction of about a month ago I say that the title is (substantially) Final Fantasy X-3 I want to believe it!

[Sora96 17,256]

"This may be our last chance"? What does he mean by that? 

 

I'm quoting Tidus from FFX since this is hopefully our last chance to predict it.

Anyone who says FFVII remake now is cheating.
