Final fantasy :D
4,6 and 7 are three of my favourite games of all time :)

But they also have three of the worst games of all time. Final Fantasy XIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns.

Both series of games are relatively self-contained (though Zelda now has something of an official timeline connecting the games). I hate MMOs, but the existence of 11 and 14 have zero influence on my continued enjoyment of the other installments. Other bad apples (2, 9 and the 13 trilogy of shame) similarly do not have a detrimental effect, other than not contributing to my attachment to the franchise.
