10 Great Video Game Sequels NOBODY Asked For

10. Final Fantasy XIII-2

While the Final Fantasy series is known for its wonderful storytelling, now-iconic characters and immersive world-building, there have been a few entries that failed to uphold the standards that Final Fantasy 6, 7, 10, and 14 have made the norm.

Final Fantasy XIII was one such instance, with boring linear levels, a story that was nothing to write home about, and a forgettable battle system. Not only is it a blemish on Square Enix resume, but it's also seen by most as the lowest point in a JRPG franchise that is known for quality.

Its successor, the aptly-titled Final Fantasy XIII-2 moved Lightning's story in a positive direction, with less linearity and more improvements in the gameplay department refining the edges to make a game that is underrated because of its association to the game that came before.

It's rare that any mainline Final Fantasy game receives a direct sequel, and fans would be chomping at the bit at the idea of a follow-up to some of its best entries. However, XIII was poor, and in dire need of salvation. It got it with XIII-2, and while the while saga isn't well remembered, the second game in the trilogy at least tried to save its reputation.
