    All of them. Just stop. Move on and give us new worlds and stories.

    Coming here to say this, though IX is also another strong choice.
    Yeah, these two tales are very tightly wrapped up.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    What about a prequel to FFVI?

    All of them. I really can't see how they can go anywhere with VI considering that majority of the world's population is dead at the end.

    Dead, and magic no longer exists.

    A FF6 prequel is doable, War of the Magi, but it is so distant that you might as well be creating a world from scratch. And if you have a team that is capable of creating an engaging world from scratch why not develop something original?

    The prequel could involve Terra's father Maduin before the events of FFVI.

    See, I don't see that being good. The problem is that not all good stories are readily expressible in game format. (Let alone JRPG format). When you try to shoehorn game mechanics around a story that isn't designed to accommodate them you end up compromising your ability to create a fun game, and you end up having to significantly alter the content and delivery of the story.

    I would like to know in more details what occurred during Final Fantasy IX's ending though.

    Like

    Zidane goes after Kuja, Kuja redeems but dies, but then there's a big bang and


    ????????

    Vivi clones himself and then writes a letter to everybody saying his goodbyes

    ???????

    Zidane comes back


    The end.


    How did Zidane survive though ?

    Wolf probably meant to imply that the sequel WOULD be a game, but it isn't stated outright, so for the sake of argument, let's assume these sequels don't have to be games. Like the Final Fantasy VII Compilation.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    It is possible to tell other stories in these worlds through other media, though I judge the odds of them being good and not cash grabs is rather low. And mentioning the FF7 compilation doesn't exactly warm me to the whole idea.

    Yeah same here, though it wasn't that clear.

    Trance's are triggered by high emotions and Zidane's emotions would of been through the roof, and Zidane has the most powerful trances in the story.
