what do you people thank..what way do the final fantasys connect storyline way
Yes they all have themes of love and friendship. And all of them are based on the absolute final fantasy fact that the cheese man is actually manipulating all these seperate dimensions to do his evil bidding in the end
we know the FFs aren't in chronological order, but it's kind of fun to think that maybe...
1-6 ARE in order (the first final fantasy's had early medieval stuff like king arthur-ish settings, 5 looked medieval, 4 had the Moon so maybe not that)
then from 6, which was the industrial age, civilization advanced to the year 1997 and Cloud's party had to continue the save-the-world work Terra's party and everyone else kept on with
then after 7, 8 came along and everything was space-age like around the late year 2000's or something.
then just like movies like star wars and planet of the apes in which the old days were the futuristic ones and now civilization deteriorated and had to start all over again, we land in the medieval age once again in 9.
then in 10, everything became modern again...:) ) it's a cycle.
:save:
That theres some dangerous thinking son
I prefer to think that they don't connect, outside of the common references (Cid, Bahamut, and so forth). Not in terms of being in the same universe, that is.
I'm sure that you could look at common themes and try to analyze things from that standpoint, but I don't think that's what you meant.
six underground i kind agree but i will finad out I WILLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!1
they're all planets in the same galaxy. one galaxy which only square workers with mystical magic crap can access.
Wanting to see connections outside the obvious (recurring character names, Star Wars references, common themes) is just fanboyism making people want there to be more to the series than there really is.
If only they didn't screw up by making uber good games and running out of ideas
You know, possibly, 2 might of meant to be a forerunner of 1? I mean, 1 talks about the airship Cid built, and in 2 you see Cid flying HIS airship that HE built...
So, possibly, originally somon thought 2 might come centuries ebfore 1, but then 3 came out and they scrapped the idea cos it was crap :p
This concept does not work. To begin, the name "Cid" was retroactively inserted into FFI; prior to the Dawn of Souls version, no named individual was associated with the airship. It was merely added in the DoS version to serve the purpose of continuity of tradition. As no "Cid" was originally included, such a connection could not have been intended.Quote:

Finally, one would also have to overlook the fact that the Crystals, a critical world element of FFI, are not present in FFII.
Thus, FFI and FFII clearly share no direct connection.
Everything in Final Fantasy is a continuation from the previous game.
For real dawg.
Final Fantasy 1 blends into 2 so easily, and it is totally linear, you just have to know what you're doing.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, I assume you are unable to comprehend the basic theory of Final Fantasy, and their connections. So, I won't even attempt to go into details.
I feel all FFs are connected
FF 1-6 have some things that reference each other like Mysidia, Crystals, etc. Plus, I feel the events of FF 1-8 all took place on earth and the events of FF 9-11 take place on other planets
Please read the linked thread Christmas posted. There's little or nothing to recommend such an idea, particularly given the inevitable contradictions that spring up every time the idea is proposed.Quote:

I always kept thinking that FFIV and FFIX had similarities up the wazoo, but I once wrote a fanfic crossover FFVII and IX, where they were on the same world, just different times, and I didn't even know that VII's world was called Gaia. Though I do believe they aren't on that world. Sad, but true.Quote:

I know that. I only said 1-6 so I can prove a point. I should've been more specific.Quote:

I don't remember either game mentioning this. Proof pleaseQuote:

There are numerous similarities to FFIV in FFIX, and even more and deeper connections to FFV. Beyond the more involved references in the links, there are scattered references to every FF title released before IX. That having been said, the references in FFIX are merely easter eggs, fun bits for fans of the series to pick up on.Quote:

I also doubt that (to say nothing of other titles) the Light Warriors of FFI had any "mental problems" seeing as they didn't have personalities or decisions or dialogue. There were no unusual race/non-human playable characters in FFI, II, or III, and Summoning was not instituted until FFIII.
Yes, but the FF titles are only connected in the sense that certain concepts (airships and so forth) appear throughout the series. There is no direct literal connection--every FF is completely independent of the others.Quote:

Regarding FFV, while the planet goes unnamed in game, the OAV sequel "Legend of the Crystals" (the "LotC" I made note of in the first post) refers to the world of FFV as Planet R. As LotC was not made explicitly by Square (it was allowed and Sakaguchi and Uematsu had veto power, though), this designation can be debated. It was, understandably, worth noting.Quote:

It is mentioned that Shinra try to research on life energies in the farplane but couldn't finishes it in his time so future generations took over it in another planet.
I hate when people say 1-5 are all medieval...Quote:

FF4... pretty modern also...
FF5... eh...
The FFs are in order except for X and X2. Square have said this I'll prove it in a later post.
Dear MJN SEIFER,
It's our policy to close threads when people go around spreading falsehoods such as that. So, you know, kindly cut it out such as to not ruin things for everyone else.
Final megakisses,

Yeah, it's fine if you can provide proof. Until then, though, it's bad stuff.
