All numbers are based on Japanese releases, and if there's more, then it doesn't really matter... unless it does.
Final Fantasy Unlimited is an anime that was made by Square, and is based off a completely different world, but had many of the same Final Fantasy stand-bys, such as Cid, and the Airship. Based off of name recognition mostly, such as all the Final Fantasies have different worlds and plotlines, except X and X-2, which are direct sequels (plotwise). Some of the worlds have the same names, but outside of world, gameplay and region of time (most FFs are based on Feudal Japan and Feudal Europe), they are different, and each is unique... in its own way. For example, FFIV and FFIX are both based in Terra/Gaia (Latin for "Earth")
