I totally told myself that I was staying out of this thread, but clearly I fail.

I would actually say it's closer to asking which of the following "best lives up to the term bird": a penguin, an ostrich, a robin or an eagle?

While all of them are birds (and no one here is saying that any of the FF titles are 100% not fantasy, I think), penguins and ostriches are generally not the kind of bird people think of when the word is mentioned. For instance, neither of them can fly, and most people tend to associate birds with flying. Now, obviously which of the latter two best embodies "bird" is going to be a difference of opinion, but more people are going to choose those.

None of the choices here are flat out wrong, but some of them are going to be more typical, which is kind of what the question is asking.


And just for the record, I loved FFVII, but I still don't think it "best lives up to the term fantasy."
