How do you kill a series? Not even garbage like Shaq fu, Rabbids and Bubsy stays dead forever. So how do you kill something for good? How awful do you have to be to end a franchise?

Something like FF13 and 15
Proof: haven't touched a FF since then
By having a "franchise" in the first place.

Just ask these guys. And I'm not talking like "oh the recent iterations of some of their franchises are shit so they're dead". I'm talking they have some factually dead shit.

Didnt 15 do well or did it cost so much to make it still didn't make money?
shit gameplay is the best way to kill a series
At this point a series only truly dies when the creators either don't want to make another installment or they don't make any money off of it. Or both.

Yeah I'm talking about Secret rings and 06. If you were right Sonic should've been dead by 08 but here we are

Yearly sports games and simulators are boring as sin yet still sell
>>386002292
By making a sequel completely different from what it's known for, awful to boot, and deciding the future of the franchise based on its success.

It was in development for a long time as it started as a FFXIII spinoff. I think it was a case that they knew they wouldn't make back the money.
