He isnt baiting and switching. He is giving good examples.
Imagine this: get a player who has played every FF game except 7, and ask them what they seen in all the games?
They would tell you:
Crystals
white mages
Black mages
Chocobos
moon
summons
ultima weapon

They wont mention ruby and such, because while they were "big" in 7, they have not been a recurring theme in all FF titles.
Therefore, it would be an excess to have all the weapons from FF7. If you dont wanna fight ultima all the way to 99, then then fight (they will probably add this at one point) Odin, Gilgamesh, etc.
