Why is 7 getting a sequel? Because it was left open for one thats why. 8 was completed in one go. Y'know its people like you who really annoy me with their stupidity......the games arnt connected (eccept X and X-2) so cannot be 'better' then each other. Just because more people like 7 then 8 dosnt mean its better. Im a firm believer that in most cases the first final fantasy you play usually ends up being your fav or definatly close to your fav and since 7 introduced many people to FF thats the reason why 7 has more fans. Personally my FAVORITES (not betters ore whatever) goes in this order, best to not so best: VIII,IX,X,VI,VII,IV.
