Hajime Tabata, director of Type-0, spoke to Famitsu (via Andriasang) about his current plans. Tabata says that he's working on "nothing at the moment," but would like to work on a follow-up to the Parasite Eve sequel, The 3rd Birthday. However, he believes "Square Enix policy will require that he work on something else," specifically, a sequel to Type-0.
