I agree with yuffie...I cannot be linked together...well at least FF9 and FF8 couldn't in my point of view...Like FF8 is obviously more advance than FF9.I mean the world.So...it don't make any sense...And...other points is like what Yuffie said.

VII and X are in the same universe?
Why is everyone taking the piss outta this guy? It's interesting. OPEN YOUR MINDS.
Some like to think so based on a comment that came from someone who worked on FFX or X-2 that FFVII takes place in the same world but in the future, and a comment from the character Shinra in X-2 that references the possibility of Mako energy. None of this has ever been officially confirmed by Square or any of the higher ups in either games development though, and it could easily just be a little reference thrown in for FFVII fans that's been blown out of proportion. At best, you still have the problem of thousands of years seperating the games (based on the world maps not lining up), and even still, the history of the FFVII world doesn't reconcile with the events of FFX and X-2 at all if you ask me, so even if they take place in the same universe, that's the only connection, and a rather irrelevant one.Quote:

Also, there was a statement by the scenario writers, that at one point, FFVII and X-2 could be related because of this concept, story-wise, but it was ultimately thrown out, yet referenced.Quote:

It's not interesting, nor is it accurate, and neither is it of any use or plausible.Quote:

Fortunately I saved myself a lot of time by skipping ahead to the replies and reading this guys opinion that The Spirits Within takes place after FF VIII. Never mind that the Sprits Within in clearly set on Earth - OUR Earth - in the years 2065. Unlike every other Final Fantasy ever, which has never claimed to be set on Earth.
Gotta give this guy an A for his creativity though. And an F for plausibility and accuracy.
VII and X are linked because Nojima is a funny guy.
Actually, you couldn't be more wrong.Quote:

In FFVII, when Sephiroth summons Super Nova, you see a giant ball of energy consume all the planets past Earth, starting with Pluto (it states the name of the planet on the screen), then crashes into the sun which proceeds to engulf Mercury and Venus, then it comes towards an Earth-looking planet and that's when it hits the party.
I think there is a continuity in the FF series, but definately not the way this guy presented it. I think you'd have to beat all of them to determine that. The fact that Garland popped up in 9, with an NPC saying that he had tried to do this before, is enough to suggest that.
It's too bad Pluto isn't a planet :goofy:Quote:

At the time it was :choc2:Quote:

I haven't seen Spirits Within, but I do know that New York is a city in it. Is the continental structure of the Earth in that movie the same?
As far as I know, Spirits Within is supposed to take place in the future of our real world earth which is what I think silvercry was getting at. Any other FF that makes reference to the planet being earth (and there are several) is obviously not our earth at any point in it's history, and it's doubtful they'd even be representing a future version of our planet.
I'm afraid I have to disagree. FF IX was a game that was purposely made to have several references to past FF games, and that's all they were ever intended to be: references. I remember reading somewhere (PSM, I believe, but I can't state for certain) back when FF IX came out that they were doing all the references to past games because FF IX was going to be the last original FF in the traditional mold. Thus, FF IX returned to the games' fantasy roots and left a bunch of winks and nods to fans of the game.Quote:

Really? I thought they turned into whatever Red XIII is.Quote:

Also, how can FFTA be related to ANY other FF game when it takes place in a fictional dream-world?
Not necessarilly; the world in FFVI changes drastically in what I'm assuming was at most a few days. All you need is the horrible disaster, not time.Quote:
If FF's were linked, they'd have to go over the span of tens, probably hundreds of thousands of years, and there's have to be some horribel disaster between each game to completely change the map and cause all evidence of the last game to be eradicated.
Speaking of which, this guy seems to have a lot of it. While some parts of it are interesting (namely the part about Gogo and the Zone Eater village thing, but that's it) it is pretty much illogical. If I were a teacher, I'd give it a B for creativity but a D for logic and argument. And some more homework, because he really has too much time on his hands.
