| Michael-5 said: I said I don't know enough about FFXI, XII, XIV, or XV to know how they are related to other FF games. I said I and IX were indirectly related to the others and III and VIII are beleived to take place in the same place as IV and VI, just centuries after. Anyway, now that you know that they are all related (too lazy to look up XI, XII and XIV), you still don't look at this in the same way as Zelda? Oracle of Ages/Seasons were only main series games by "theory" before Nintendo published Hyrule Historia, only when Square Enix releases their chronology will you be satisfied? The way I see it, and I think everyone else does, is Square Enix has their own internal main series. This is seen by numbered entries, with connections between all game, higher budgets, and SE releasing that 13 game "mainline" series in Japan. So according to Square Enix and most here, there is a mainline series, and it's the numbered series. FF:T4HoL is literally called "Final Fantasy: Side Story" in Japan, this isn't opinion, this is a side story. So all that's left to bicker about is, are the main numbered FF games, "main series." You're alone on thinking that it's not, but you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm going to stop trying to change it. I mean if you like FF:T4HoL as much as a main FF game and want to give it due credit, you are free to do so. This isn't Medevil England.... So, nice debate, but I think we can just agree to disagree at this point. |
the oracle games, like all zeldas, were recognized as zeldas simply by looking at them. just like bravely default is recognized as final fantasy with a single look.
"I mean if you like FF:T4HoL as much as a main FF game and want to give it due credit, you are free to do so."
the whole point of this discussion was proving there is no main series and the likes of t4hol are as numbered as the numbered ones.
whatever. at least you kept debating.
