Great games overshadowed by their sequels?

And this. I really don't understand the complaints people have about Mega Man's controls. Yes, it's different from the later games, but they're completely fine on their own. Great, even.

FF13 overshadows FF7 in the sense that Lightning has been voted favourite video game character for three years running in Japan - that place where 80% of all FF sales happen.

FF13 overshadows FF7 in Japan in the sense that they were completely disappointed that FF7 is getting a PS4 remaster before FF13 is. And by disappointed, I mean livid.

FF13 is basically the face of the franchise in Japan and has been for years, why do you think there are more main entries for it over every other iteration? They made Lightning the main character for the new content in Dissidia Duodecim.

Plus FF13 isn't shit, you should try actually playing it instead of parroting /v/.

I can't agree with Darius 1 and 2 being great games but they were certainly overshadowed by their better sequels. It felt like all 1 and 2 had going for it mainly was the multi-monitor gimmick, bring it out of the machine and I feel you lose a lot.

Darius in general always felt lacking mechanically but always had weird, amazing music and cool new gimmicks from game to game that I didn't see other games do before or try to copy later.
