bolded: no, those are 3 universes = no main series. and wind waker was always an obvious sequel to ocarina and you forgto the most important part: gameplay. a franchise's main series can be identified by either story or gameplay. since numbered final fantasies are not connected story wise and have no fixed gameplay, they don't constitute a main series. bolded 2: I put a nail in this debate a long time ago. the game can be called whatever they want, it's the content that matters. and the contents of the likes of crystal chronicles, tactics and four heroes makes them as "main series" as the numbered ones. |
If it's titled Final Fantasy: Side Story in Japan, it's kinda a side story.
But believe what you like. Personally I consider FF:T4HoL a Prequel to Braverly Default and not a Final Fantasy main series game, but a Bravery Default Main series game. Like you said it's the content that matters and if you look at the gameplay, and artwork, FF: T4HoL is a Braverly Default series game, despite saying Final Fantasy in the name. I think what these two games were, were an attempt to see if a Final Fantasy-like game would sell on handhelds as well as Dragon Quest IX did, or as well as console FF's did. It didn't, but it still made a profit, so thus we have the Braverly Default series.
Plus like you said, unless I prove that all main series FF games are connected, then there is no main FF series, I believe I proved that.
P.S. You just contradicted yourself. You said that all Zelda's are part of the main series because the gameplay is similar. Now, not only are you saying there is no main series Zelda, you're also saying FF games with very different gameplay mechanics, like Crystal Chronicles and Tactics, are main series......

Also for Zelda, there is a main series despite having 3 branching story-lines. I mean do you consider that Tingle DS game a main series Zelda game? It's just everything Zelda falls into this series except for a couple obvious spin-offs.

Also, the thread is about Braverly Default being FF3's spiritual successor, that's already FFVIII, it takes place in the same world after FFIII and share a lot of gameplay mechanics.
