I think the problem is the perception you have of spin-off, because Jarrod pretty much summed it up. I think you might hold a biased, since you might views spin-off as a negative, when generally it is a positive.
For example SMT: Persona series is a spin-off series, yet it is widely considered by SMT fans to be one of the best, if not better than mainline SMT or MT.
Type-0 series is without a doubt a new final fantasy series that spun-off of Final Fantasy name. If it was called just Type-0 it was be a new series all together with final fantasy like elements.
Versus it might be arguable by some, but it is pretty much a spinoff game from the Final Fantasy 13 brand.

I think the some Game series Spin-Offs are not regarded as equal with the Original product. but sub seires I believe can be debatable if they are rally Spin-Offs or not.
Like Persona that is a sub series of SMT so it can be debatable if it is a Spin-Off or not.
and it can be argued that DMC, Oinmusha and Dino Crisis are just Spin-Offs of Biohazard despite not having the name Biohazard on the cover anywhere.

No. It isn't debatable.
At all.
A spinoff is ANYTHING that "spins off" the main franchise.
That's the literal definition of a spinoff. It has nothing to do with opinion. It's like argueing that a Penguin isn't a bird because you have your own specialized definition of bird which requires "Must be able to fly."
It's not debatable... your just wrong and working off a fabricated definition.

Not siding with anyone here, but if we are going by straight spin off definitions, then Mario is a Donkey Kong spin off. After all, Mario made his debut in a game called Donkey Kong and since then he has had his own games, but only because it's appearance at the first Donkey Kong game.

Correct?

I guess so, but I've never heard anyone say Mario was a spinoff. That's why I'm saying this. It is based on opinion sometimes, or else try to argue with people that Mario is a spinoff and not a main series. Not saying that what you said is factually incorrect, but sometimes it being correct doesn't mean that the majority will embrace it. I think there's a thin line between a game being a spinoff or not.

I guess you didn't see my comment in the spin off thread this morning...
