FFVII is my favorite game and I never wanted a sequel for it. I'm not just saying in retrospect Advent Children was bad, so I wish there was no sequel. I'm saying the story and journey of the characters was complete. There was nothing they could possibly do to continue the story that wouldn't cheapen the original in some manner. The game needed no sequel. For that matter, it should not have had a prequel either. The game gave sufficient backstory. The few details the could be fleshed out paled in comparison to the abundance of extra details required to fill out a whole game, thus necessitating that any prequel would introduce a bunch of garbage (Genesis, etc.) that was uncalled for. The only prequel that FFVII left sufficient room for was the one that was never made: a Cetra-based prequel set far before the events of the game.
