making FF IX a numbered installment instead of a gaiden as it should have been, considering it was conceived as an ode to FFs history thus far... same for FF XI & XIV, they should have been FF Online 1 & 2, causing gaps in peoples collections that don't normally bother with MMORPGs... i still feel very strongly that an online only game should not be a numbered installment due to once they shut down the servers it's gone forever... but i can still play any of the offline ones on any of the consoles they came on because i take care of my stuff...
this opinion is of course inspired by looking at my own game shelf and those skipped numbers...
