It wouldn't really be HF at all if Archer and Saber survived, would it? Archer being alive negates everything that Shirou does, since without Archer's arm he's pretty much useless. Sure, Archer can do that stuff instead, but that starts to veer it quite a bit off of HF. Then, when you add in Saber surviving, you make it pretty much impossible to be HF, since a big part of it was Saber's corruption and Shirou having to fight her. If she's not corrupt, what holds him, Rider, and Archer (now) back from helping Rin's assault against Dark Sakura?

We all know you love HF beyond belief, but the easiest route to do a sequel on is UBW (Good is easier than True, but both are easy). The only real change that needs to be done is Ilya being used as the grail like in Fate instead of Shinji, which doesn't truly change anything. Heck, it could give Shirou more motivation to crush Gilgamesh. Also, Archer would need some prana at the end to prevent his disappearance. Those two minor tweaks, which don't ultimately affect the story, are quite easy to accomplish comparatively.

FSN doesn't have any natural sequel hooks (well, except for Sakura's situation, but I doubt he'd want to make a sequel based solely around that)
Ilya says "Hi".
