"bad moment" (like the Suikoden series, but looks like they're back on track, so let's leave it that way). If they want to make a sequel, fine by me (I'm a GS fan, so I'll probably buy it anyway), but I just hope they won't try to transform a short story into something repetitive and overused.
Ok, for one thing, The Lost Age isn't a transformation of a short story into something long and overused, it's a direct continuation of a plot that is only half completed. Also, since there are plot elements left unexplored after the end of The Lost Age, a sequel wouldn't exactly be a game ruining point, but merely a continuation of the original storyline (and I definitely want to see some of that stuff wrapped up). While your point had some validity, given how well the series has gone thus far, I'm willing to give Camelot the benefit of the doubt until I have some evidence that they've screwed the game into the ground.

As to GS versus TLA, I agree with you that TLA isn't as good, but that's mostly because I don't really like Felix. Isaac was a much better hero.
When I was talking about the plot in the GS series, I had in mind that GS and GS:TLA could stand as an epic story by themselves, and if it was to continue, maybe then it could become a "long and overused plot". Sorry if I didn't make my point clear enough.

Let's not spoil the plot here, but I respectfully disagree with your point when you say there's much story to be unveiled yet. Of course, there're some things unexplained so far, but many games, even though they were released 5, 10 years ago, have also let their fans down (or not) by leaving these "holes" alone without a reasonable explanation, and even though the companies responsible for these games are aware of these "unintentional flaws" (or intentional, as there is just no way to find out if the game producers realized their story elaboration mistakes or not), they haven't released a sequel to make up for it.
