What I am referring to are game series which only get half of the series released.


For example:

Suikoden series (PS1 / PS2) ~ The first two parts were both released in the UK, then the third part wasn't, but then they released part four...

Xenosaga series (Ps2) ~ In the UK we never got part one, but then they go and release part two... What was the point in that?

Shining Force series (Saturn) ~ Again, we only saw the first part of a three part series

Final Fantasy series (NES / SNES) ~ For years, western gamers missed out on half of the series (Number 2, 3, and 5), and Square confused everyone with their abnormal numbering system (Ie, FF4 was actually FF2 here, and FF6 was known as FF3) ~ It wasn't until FFVII came out, that everything righted itself...


Why do these companies do this? Suikoden I am especially angry about
