General opinion on spinoffs

[Ouberry_13]

I think we're all in agreement that, if done right, spin-offs can be amazing.

In my own experience, I liked FF Tactics and Tactics A2.
Hell, I even enjoyed Dissidia and 012. Sure, they weren't the best, the voice acting sucked andthe story was dumb, but I love those two nonetheless.
I think I've mentioned before on another thread my love for the Mario RPG games, specifically Paper Mario: TTYD and Partners in Time.

I'm sure there's more spin-offs I could talk about, but I really don't want to spend an hour typing about all the different spin-offs I liked or disliked.
