but a different story in the same universe is not what I would call a sequel.. that's just using the same setting.. |
You're right. A "series" is the proper definition for what I'm thinking. A sequel would by nature need to continue an aspect of the original storyline. |
I disagree. That's still a sequel. I mean if you are using the same characters... but it's a different story and different enemies it's still a sequel. I mean... look at movies. Die Hard, John Mcclain isn't fighting the same person over and over again. Rocky isn't fighting the same guy everytime. (aside from the first movie.) Planet of the Apes has sequels... and they don't even have the same characters in the half the times. |
You can disagree if you like. I was going to disagree to and post a definition of the word "sequel" as I understood it. First link I ran across was Wikipedia which informed me that there is actually a difference between "sequel" and "series." Barring that, I'd pretty much agree with everything you just said. |
I think Wikipedia is just screwing with you.
There is a difference... but it's basically a number of sequels = a series.
Where i gets screwed up in Videogames is Final Fantasy.
Which technically shouldn't even be considered a Series. Despite all the fancy numbers at the end of their names... becauase each new game is more a "Spiritual Successor" then it is a sequel.
