    Fantasy means "not real". Tons of futuristic technology that couldn't technically exist is "not real" enough to me. FF1 had robots and a rampaging mech in it.
    FF has actually always blended fantasy and sci-fi. Like someone else has once stated - if you want a medieval-style RPG, play Dragon Quest.

    Let's look deeper into that:
    FFI - largely medieval, but with robots, flying fortresses and airships.
    FFII - same here. The empire possesed the Dreadnought and later the party obtained an airship.
    FFIII - I'm not quite sure about this, but it definitely had a lot of airships.
    FFIV - airships, spaceships, high-tech towers - all this in a largely medieval world.
    FFV - again, largely medieval setting, but we also have technologiacally advanced ruins and, of course, airships.
    FFVI - this time we get a world that's sort of medieval, but there's a lot of steam engines. And let's not forget the airships.
    FFVII - this time, it's the other way around - a futuristic setting, but with magic. Come to think of it, the smaller towns look medieval...
    FFVIII - see FFVII.
    FFIX - haven't played it, but I believe it's the medieval setting again - but with airships, of course. (And I believe the black mages are manufacted, right?)
    FFX - the setting is kind of medieval but a bit more to the east. And of course Machina, airships, the Al Bhed Home, etc...
    FFXI - I guess it's pretty much the same deal as with 1-5 and 9. Middle ages and airships.
    FFXII - the setting here is strongly medieval but it also has A LOT of technology (including airships).

    If FF was suddenly to become completely medieval, it wouldn't be the same. Just try to imagine a Final Fantasy without airships.
