The Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has discussed his company, it's flagship series and where he sees Final Fantasy going in the future

In an interview with Edge magazine Wada said: "I believe Final Fantasy XIII is going be something special, and that it’s going to be well received by the audience. But whether we are going to continue to internally create this type of game remains to be seen, because I actually feel that the team that was involved with Final Fantasy XIII should next move on to create and generate some ‘next generation’ forms of play."

So is this the end for the traditional JRPG? Not quite, but Wada does echo other sentiments coming out of the Japanese industry. "Internally and externally I feel there’s an expectation of Square Enix to offer something new," the Squenix President explained. "I really think that the Final Fantasy team could create something completely different, but at the moment they’re strictly catering to the particular audience they have now."
