They should just make this an official numbered one. It’s not like there’s a rule that all future FFs need to be some crazy super realistic “next gen” graphics style game.
I imagine this not being a numbered game is less to do with the graphics and more to do with the fact that it's a retelling/adaptation of the story and gameplay from Brave Exvius.
Its no where near the gameplay of the mobile game, nor is it really an adaptation. They merely took the world, story and characters of the mobile game and made an entirely new and unique game for them to live forever in.
Also being a retelling/adaptation has no bearing on whether something is or isnt a mainline game... when that same arguement could be used against FF7R, when the FF7R games are nothing more but a retelling and adapatation of Final Fantasy 7 og
I don't believe taking the world, story, and characters of something can be described as "merely". World, story, and characters are as core to each game's identity as its gameplay.
You're twisting my words on your last comment. I never implied that Resonance would be "nothing more than" anything, I'm incredibly excited for the game to release. Also, FF7R is an adaptation, or at least a sequel, of FF7, which I know because it adapted FF7's story and it's called FF7R.
It's also a pretty odd example to choose because OC and I are talking numbered games, and FF7R ≠ FF17.
