Final Fantasy shouldn't have sequels.

I believe Square said the franchise was only profitable with sequels.

Where did they get that idea...

1	Final Fantasy XIII	PS3	2009	Role-Playing	Square Enix	1.65	1.15	1.87	0.47	5.13
2	Final Fantasy XIII-2	PS3	2011	Role-Playing	Square Enix	0.77	0.67	0.89	0.21	2.54
3	Final Fantasy XIII	X360	2010	Role-Playing	Square Enix	1.20	0.64	0.01	0.19	2.05
4	Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII	PS3	2013	Role-Playing	Square Enix	0.19	0.13	0.43	0.06	0.82
5	Final Fantasy XIII-2	X360	2011	Role-Playing	Square Enix	0.35	0.27	0.02	0.06	0.70
6	Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII	X360	2013	Role-Playing	Square Enix	0.09	0.04	0.01	0.01	0.15

Because they didn't ignore the sunk costs of the first game and it's engine/platform changes. So, they reused assets from the first game and extended them over two more games. XIII-2 and LR didn't cost all that much to make since a lot of work was already done.

and while the XIII sequels did bad for a FF game, who will upset over 4+ million in sales...
