@owashii@plush.city there are 15 main series final fantasies, then X-2, XII:RW, XIII-2, and LR:XIII makes 19, then there's type-0 giving 20
that's the most conservative estimate of the number of final fantasies i think you could give
then there's stuff like the tactics sub-series, which adds 3 more, the Bravely Default series adds another 3, Final Fantasy The 4 Heroes of Light adds one more
