Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi held a panel at PAX Prime 2014 today. Sakaguchi mentioned that it would be nice to work on a continuation of The Last Story (or Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey), although nothing is happening behind the scenes currently.
At one point, Sakaguchi was specifically asked if there’s a chance of a new The Last Story. He responded in English: “Ok, yeah, you talk to Nintendo.” The audience cheered and applauded when the panel’s moderator asked who would like to see a sequel on Wii U, and Sakaguchi again added: “And maybe PlayStation 4 too?”
Sakaguchi may not have been too serious throughout all of this. He was laughing, and could have just been teasing the audience.
Other than The Last Story, Sakaguchi was also asked about which systems he plans on working with. One of his comments stated that Nintendo always keeps people on their toes when it comes to new hardware announcements. Additionally, Sakaguchi is looking forward to the New 3DS and hopes to have a chance to work on the platform.

In October, Nintendo will be introducing new firmware for the 3DS that allows for themes to be displayed on the system’s Home Menu. We’ve already seen a few: Mario, Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and Animal Crossing.
It also looks like Nintendo is cooking up a Famicom-based theme for 3DS. The image was spotted on one of the New 3DS website page, so it seems that this one will be coming out as well!
