No dude you yourself are muddled up on perspective because I was always talking about the decline in Japan hence the point about multiplatform making up for it.
Zelda doesn't have a stronger core experience it has a consistent identity that Nintendo bends approach, mechanics and gameplay around. BOTW, SS, ALBW, TFH, ST, PH and TP all have different approaches but they all retained the series identity what that means is you still feel like it's Zelda regardless of changes. FF is not being unique in each installment it's lost in an identity crisis SE come across as not knowing what they want it to be and this contributes to the long development cycles.
During the FFI to FFIX era the games were changing in gameplay and quite significantly, for example the Materia system in VII requires a different approach compared to the Draw/Junction system in VIII. IX used a build like system for each character in which you managed skills passive skills and equipment, V had an advance Job system that can get very technical etc...
Only thing aligned in these games was how combat was executed.

This was literally your response to me talking about XV's global sales to Soundwave highlighting its the best selling entry in the franchise.
"XV isn't PS exclusive which is also his point, not appealing to Japan is part of the reason for the decline in sales. Being multiplatform helped make up for the loss but as an exclusive it's not going to match XV, FFVIIR landed at 5.6m despite being a heavily anticipated title for years with some people saying it will hit 10m, XVI will likely settle at the same mark."
The bolded are all references to global sales on your side. The multiplatform benefit you're referencing in regards to XV must also be in regards to global sales since it didn't impact japan at all.

Soundwave was referring to Japan you yourself brought in WW and brought in XV as proof, my response to you is fair as pointing out the growth was due to being multiplatform which helped offset the decline in the region matches the context of focusing on the region.
It's not anyone else's issue here but your own.
