    Default Best Sequel?

    So we have a few FF sequels wandering around now and some of you play them and some of us don't, but of the sequels you've played, which is your personal favorite?

    Final Fantasy X-2, easily.

    I have played X-2, watched Advent Children and read the Novella, played Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core (although I broke my screen before I could fight Avatar Genesis)... that is all. I haven't played After Years, Before Crisis, Lightning Returns or XIII-2 (or XIII for that matter). Best? Yes.
    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.

    I've not played the VII sequal games, nor the FF XII one.

    I've played After Years and X-2, and between them After Years is easily better. It's a pretty damn solid game overall.

    X-2. I don't really like the XIII trilogy too much.

    The only direct sequel to any of the Final Fantasy entries I've played was X-2. DoC is more of a spin-off of VII, really. Advent Children was good, but X-2 gets points for introducing a new villain instead of bringing one back.

    X-2 was really fun, but I have to go with The After Years. For all the hate it gets, I actually really enjoyed this game.

    X-2 because my only other choice is Dirge of Cerberus

    X-2. wasn't too happy about dancing and changing outfits, but at least it had the "feel" of FFX and I don't want to say to much without hinting at spoilers.

    X-2 was the best sequel. That doesn't mean it was a good or necessary sequel, but it was the best.

    Does Crisis Core count? Crisis core is dyn-o-mite.

    FFX-2 is next on the list.

    None, I enjoyed that FFs before were standalone games.
