In an interview with Japanese magazine FC2, translated by Siliconera, Square Enix producer Ichiro Hazama; known for his work on the Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts series, revealed that he and other developers would like to make new Dissidia title.
Hazama commented:
“I want to make a new Dissidia, and we intend to do so. The people who’ve worked on the previous titles have also stated their desire to make a new one, too.
“When you ask kids in their teens about their favorite Final Fantasy titles, Final Fantasy Type-0 and Dissidia are more popular than the main-numbered series,”
He added that many players first experience of the series was Dissidia Final Fantasy.
Hazama said that both Dissidia and Theatrhythm were developed in order to introduce Final Fantasy to a new generation of players. While a new Dissidia may happen eventually; Square Enix is currently working on Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XV, and Kingdom Hearts 3.
The company also recently relaunched Final Fantasy XIV and the better than expected performance of the rebooted MMO helped Square Enix return to a profit in their latest financial results.
