Now what I'd like to see is a sequel to FF6, I'm drooling at the thought of it.
None of the Final Fantasy titles have anything to do with each other either, save the title and a few names and terms, and thats just a technicality. Spirits Within just focused on telling a good story, like all of Sakaguchi's titles.

And honestly, I thought FFVII was a decent enough title. Advent Children, I was entertained initially, than I watched it again and the flaws just kept beating any fondness I might have had from the initial viewing out of me. Poor direction, no plot coherence whatsoever, Deus Ex Machina resolution for all major crisis points (IE Aeries will fix it, she fixes EVERYTHING), characters who rely on gimicks (clouds bike, multi-part sword, tifa's large rack) rather than on actual clever writing to be likeable, I could go on and on.
