Well, that's assuming that it's entirely up to Square-Enix to decide what is cannon and what is not. I'll disagree with their assessment if it seems silly to me. If they make a game with a story that leads off of a previous story, I'll accept that game as a sequel/prequel, but I won't consider Final Fantasy Adventure to be cannon at any point because I already know it's actually part of the Mana series. Likewise with the Final Fantasy Legend series. I already know it's not cannon, and that it shouldn't even be called "Final Fantasy", since it's part of the SaGa series. So even if Squeenix decided that Final Fantasy Legend III was the prequel to Final Fantasy V, I wouldn't accept it, much like I don't accept the crappy Star Wars sequels that other random dudes write to take place after Return of the Jedi.
