That may be true, but unlike the JRPGs, the MMOs won't be around 10 to 20 years from now.
Think of it this way. The NES ones are 20 years old and are still playable. They set the standard for the series. The MMOs, however, most likely won't be playable 20 years from now because of servers, etc meaning the only way to actually play would be through unofficial servers (assuming any would exist) which still isn't playing the game legit.
That being said, the official (aka numbered JRPGs) games should be the main series games, and therefore timeless.
Since the MMOs have an "expiration date" per se, they shouldn't be in the main series.
See where I'm going with this?
