Saw this on Twitter yesterday. Amazing drawing!

FF16 won't happen unless FFXV sells really well. The sales are alright, but not the greatest.

6 years is still pretty normal compared to 10 years, which people think it has been 10 years. In reality, it's only been 2 1/2 years to 3 for KH3, along with FFXV (actual production/development) so KH3 is fine. If KH3 were released in 2023 or so, then we'd have expectations really high.

I think that it's the fact that they probably started packing the ads before the delay on the NA version, and then was able to fix it for EU copies.

FFX, I'd say, is the second best FF game in the series (right behind VII). FFX-3 is definitely something I'd love to see. Hopefully it doesn't end up as XIII-3 (The game wasn't bad honestly, but got a horrible reception amongst quite a few people)
