No, because the thread has run its course at this point.

I guess I'll have to do a separate thread about direct sequels then.

Well, a sequel isn't necessarily the next release in the franchise, it is when the next release takes place after the previous one (Super Mario Galaxy 2) - so, in video games, Final Fantasy 7 is not the sequel to Final Fantasy 6, it is merely the next game in the Final Fantasy series. A prequel is a something that takes place before the previous release (Ace Attorney Investigations 2). A direct sequel is one that continues a story where it left off (Xenosaga Episode 2).

Or in movie terms:

Sequel: Die Hard 2
Direct Sequel: The Two Towers
Prequel: Phantom Menace
