Excuse me?  The only FF part in the game IS Cloud with his limits, but that's
it, the "fighting" method is completly different, take ALL the FFs and 
compared
them.. they all use that Blue screen, while FFT uses a different way.. As for
the Character Clases? Take FF3, FF7, and maybe FF2, they don't use character
classes, unlike FFTactics..
Alroght, the spells are similar.. but EVERY RPG has Fire 1 to 3, Bolt 1 to 3,
etc... SO it's not a FF trade mark..
Monsters? That's not a SquareSfot Trademark, or FF Trade Mark, every RPG has
monsters... As for the Undiscovered territories, every RPG has that, not only
the FFs, treasures.. Same thing, all RPGs have them... ALl that you mention,
are inclueded in EVERY RPG, not only in the FF series... For a game to be
"included" in the FF series, 1- It need that blue dialog box for fighting, 
he
"fighting engine" (you could say) is the same in ALL FF except FFTactics.. 
Then
in every FF, you have a Airship, except in FFTactics, all the other FFs, you
can walk around on  worlp map, not only move from one point to another, being
limited to where you explore..                     I think I prove my point..
