Bolivar was referring to a character in FFX-2 named Shinra, and the company in FFVII is named the Shin-Ra corporation. That could have just been a reference not a connection, except there's a scene where he analyzes the life energy of the planet and says it's theoretically possible to extract it and use it for energy, but it's not feasible at the present time. FFX-2 is hinting that the events of FFX and FFX-2 predate FFVII in time (if not necesserily in space).
Kids, do read the first page on the thread. It's all there with links Ultimania FFX-2 has an interview with Nomura where he flat out declares the 2 games are connected. FFVII takes place centuries later on a new planet but Shinra's name and the idea of extracting life energy came from Spira.
