If you can explain to me how Kain from FF4 is related to Tifa of FF7 in some shape or form I will agree with you. Square Enix slaps the FF logo on almost anything it comes out with now, I mean seriously they have Final Fantasy: Chocobo Tales dear sake. About the only things you see in EVERY FF game, is Sid, sometimes Mid, Airships, Moogles, and Chocobos. Those few minor things like that create a series of different worlds, characters, and storylines all together is beyond me. I think personally SE is just trying to pop out anything from their huge corporate ass to make a dollar by slapping a Final Fantasy label on the game and releasing it.
FF11 is an online game with expansions that no one plays unless they have absolutely no life, I'd never touch that game. They make series out of each game, but in reality SE considers every FF game different and unrelated to eachother except for those few minor details I told you about. Which I feel aren't enough to deem Final Fantasy as a series.
And please don't get me started on Zelda, they are all connected, non-chronologically together. There is even been proof stated by the people who design the game that all games are connected, but are not in chronological order. As well they said that there is supposedly a split timeline at the point of LoZ: OoT.
