Final Fantasy Type-0
While working on "Final Fantasy XV", Tabata decided to make a high-definition remaster of "Type-0" for eighth-generation consoles. Developed by Square Enix and HexaDrive, "Final Fantasy Type-0 HD" was originally announced at E3 2014, and released worldwide in March 2015. After "Type-0"s release, Tabata stated in an interview that he wished to explore the distant history of Orience after the events of the game. Trademarks for "Type-1", "Type-2" and "Type-3" were registered shortly after the "Type-0" trademark, but it was suggested that they were simply a protective measure. During interviews given in 2014, Tabata commented that he wished to work on "Type-1" after completing "XV", and later explained the conceptual "Type" series as a means of publishing "Final Fantasy" games too experimental for the main series. He hoped to continue with the "Type" series if "Type-0 HD" was commercially successful.
Dissidia Final Fantasy
A follow up to "Dissidia" titled "Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy" was released in March 2011 for the PlayStation Portable. Since "Dissidia" had a concrete ending, the team decided to make the story a prequel. Tetsuya Nomura stated that there would be no more "Dissidia" games following "Dissidia 012" although the series may continue "in another form" since the team already believed they did enough with the fighting genre. The main story of "Dissidia" also served as a basis for the 2012 rhythm game "Theatrhythm Final Fantasy" for the Nintendo 3DS, which also uses multiple characters from the "Final Fantasy" series. In 2013, Ichiro Hazama stated that he and much of the team intended to make a third "Dissidia" title, but did not mention possible platforms. In February 2015 at Japan Amusement Expo (JAEPO), a gameplay teaser trailer was unveiled for a new game titled "Dissidia Final Fantasy" coming to arcades in Japan, later released for PlayStation 4 as "Dissidia Final Fantasy NT". Unlike the previous "Dissidia" titles, this game features 3v3 combat, as well as adding new playable characters such as Y’shtola and Ramza Beoulve.
