All it needs is a title. Good series die if they stay the same for too long, and XII did an extremely good job of departing from the last several games, and I think it largely succeeded.
By that argument, I'd have to acknowledge FFXI as a Final Fantasy. Not going to happen.

Anyway, I do acknowledge this as an FF game, it just had several issues dealing with its transition in game style that were not dealt with. Hopefully they'll learn, and either fix their mistakes in the games to come or go back to their old style.
