Can we agree that Final Fantasy XI and XIV shouldn't have been numbered titles? I'm not saying they're bad games I just don't think they should have been numbered mainline games. They should have been called something like Final Fantasy Online and Final Fantasy Online 2.
I already treat them that way so yeah I would agree.
No, because there's no set formula for an FF game and it'd be stupid to exclude them accordingky.
The only criteria is Square deciding if a new FF game is mainline or not.
It's not a huge deal one way or another but I always thought calling it Final Fantasy Online and now Final Fantasy Online 2 and A Realm Reborn/Heavensward: Final Fantasy Online 2 would sound better. But there is a sense of prestige in being a main numbered title

Why not? FF14 has a better story than the rest of the games.

FFXII and XI are easily better in that regard.

It doesn't even have a proper story.

Vanilla maybe, but many of the expansions have great stories.

I don't think they deserve being numbered titles. Especially since they have a limited longevity due to being mmos.

Everything about 12 was shit besides Fran and Penelo.

I feel that they would have been more accepted if they weren't numbered titles.
A lot of people hold the opinion of "Why is the MMO trash a main game" and I feel they if they were just called FF Online 1 and 2 they opinion would be "Oh neat a Final Fantasy MMO."
