Games Where The Prologue Is The Previous Game's Finale

Just cause I think it's a really cool trope.

Has to be a playable sequence and it has to be the opening of the game. A straight continuation is also cool but not what I'm looking for.

As always, suggestions are welcome.

are we treating this as 'picking up right where the last one ended', or is it more 'the successor actively implemented the finale as part of the games prologue regardless of whether or not its playable?'

@drigo the latter. The game has to open with a playable version of the previous canonical entry's finale.

the prologue to KH2 practically begins at the ending of CoM considering that sora steps into the egg chamber and you get him out of it during 2's prologue
