You know, I really [censored] hate having to repeat myself. MMO is a genre, FFXIV is also a Final Fantasy title. so every time you approach it, it is a Final Fantasy game. It's a numbered title, not a spin-off and holds to the same values and themes of a final fantasy. Sadly, people randomly disregard it because they can't really play it..

Anyways.. Original story in FFXV seems incomplete to me, but don't take my word for it, just look at the internet, and Tabata wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for that.

What makes FF14 and different than a Crystal Chronicles, or any other "spin-off" game that you could mention?

What makes FF15 different than Crystal Chronicles or any other FF "spin-off" you can mention?

Nothing. They are all unique games, stories,  set in different universes. Not talking X-2's or sequals, prequels, ect. But the many final fantasy games that are in their own unique world yet don't get an official number. Think of all the Nintendo final fantasies since the #'rd ones went to Sony.

But mainline Final Fantasy. GIve me a break. All the # at the end signifies is that this is the game their main staff should be working on. Like the Mario staff is working on Odyssey and not Paper Mario or other mario games. But I don't believe that is the case with their MMO's, so their # is purely a PR reason for getting more sales. Seeing the title FF11, or FF14 will get people to buy it versus some random just words after final fantasy. People will see that as a spinoff.

 

This thread is not about FFXIV, but let me hit you with some thought provoking words just for good measures, to steer us back on course.

What makes them different than crystal chronicles or any other FF "spin-off"? Plot, storyline, character progression, etc.  Go play FFXIV for yourself, and I'm not going to take your speculation about what a PR is or is not, that is just rubbish.
