It's an interesting Japanese concept that you have games and anime series/seasons after another that aren't sequels but almost a remake or rather just new version using same elements.
I'm fascinated by long movie/game/other series, patterns and turns of where story goes when you have 5-6-7-more parts. And as such this kind Final Fantasy style franchises are kind of frustrating for me. But it's also good that you can enjoy one piece alone, without having gone through all of series (I'm looking at you, MCU).
Either way, I do like in games the kind of continuity that for example old King's Quest 1-7 had, and Sierra adventures in general.
In story oriented games it's more significant, but I also like character lore development in fighting games.
