What World? There's no Timeline, shut up.

The problem with prequels is that sometimes the writer's forget basic things and end up creating some weird inconsistencies between the stories.

As for the Light Warriors... I actually like the time loop ending. For it's time it was rather original and it was a major contrast from DQ1 and 2's "they live happily ever after" endings. Now it seems pretty stupid but I thought it was creative for it's time.

Yeah, I haven't played Valkyrie Profile yet (with Lenneth) and I'm like half-way through Silmeria. It would suck to play the original VP and see/hear things that shouldn't be there or things that are missing.
As to Zelda . . . definitely an inconsistent series.

Yeah, for its time. I mostly brought it up because I hate how the anime Wolf's Rain ended the same way. It's a tactless attempt to keep fanboys at bay who are brought to full-on rampages when they don't get sequels or other such continuations. Definitely useful, but tactless nonetheless.

Anyway, one of my primary questions still has gone unanswered:

Also, heya, if Squee made a game that anyone would recognize as being a summary of the events of all games Final Fantasy (of course, knowing Squee, it'd be done properly with new faces, new tech, and no character references except maybe a Sid), would you bother playing it?
