I did eventually admitted and corrected my mistake about the PC ports in another post since I didn't remembered they were late ports. I thought they came at the same time. Been a long time. So you can ignore that and simply put 5 unquestionable playstation exclusives.

I didnt include the MMOs because honestly, they are numbered Final Fantasy's for marketing purposes only. And the sequels? They are usually more side stories than anything else. Besides there has been sequels to mainline FFs in Nintendo platforms too (Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years) so it isnt a big deal. But if I included those we all would be fighting about the merits of one sequel over another. And is for the same reason I didnt included all those DS/PSP remakes and other non numbered Final Fantasy's, some of them are Nintendo exclusives (Crystal Cronicles, Crystal Bearers, Chocobo Dungeons, My Life as a King or older games like the Final Fantasy Legends, Mistic Quest). Final Fantasy has been milked to death and the disscussion including everything would stink.

Simply including the main offline games and if they were exclusives during the generation they came out simplifies things and drives the point home. Which was that Nintendo had (past tense) a better relationship with Final Fantasy than the current one Microsoft has, which is getting FFXV. Not a single Microsoft fan has questioned it. The only whiners are Sony fanboys that are salty that Nintendo happened to end with a bigger number.

No one is questioning the relationship with Sony and if you include all the cheese (port, remake, MMO, subseries etc) there is no doubt that Sony comes on top. But Nintendo will be far from last place and, like I said, the last place is still getting XV so why cant the NX have it. Assuming it can handle it and its not a comercial bust (DUH!).

I was refering to FFI getting ported from the NES to MSX after 6 months so it wasn't an exclusive. (Fun fact MSX is a micrsoft system)The other thing I was pointing out was while 1-6 were on nintendo platforms, in the west there were only 3 games released at the time on those systems, so the franchise was very Japancentric. It wasn't until after 7 was huge that they brought more of the games to the west and even then it was no longer the systems they launched on.

As for it being on Microsoft vs Nintendo systems of current games, I think some of the versions were agreed upon well before this gen even started. If the NX does well especially in  Japan and can hadle the games they would likely port them or at least put another spin off on their next handheld.
