    Most EA sports games, like FIFA or whatever they call themselves.

    Call of Duties

    But are they really different games?

    I have never played a FF game but atleast to me, an outsider, they all look different from each other, maybe I am wrong.

      Final Fantasy is like Black Mirror, there are common themes, plot points, and names that persist throughout the series. However no two numbered titles share the same worldbuilding, lore, and characters.

      It’s like what happened with Quake I-IV but on steroids. Very different games held together by a promise of what emotions you’d expect.

      Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

      (My favorite fact is that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the 19th game in the series)

      Story wise, all different with a certain set of tropes being ever present (crystal will be a nonsense word in your head by the end). Gameplay wise, they can be samey with significant variations on progression (8 being the most out there IMHO). After 13, it does start getting much more variable with the formula.
