You'd have a Sid; a bunch of cool yet inconsequential characters similar to the four light warriors, then Dark Knight Cecil, Kain, Shadow, Cloud; and villains like Kefka and Sephiroth.

There would be limits and such and most of the key moments would serve as basic reminders of historical stamps in previous Final Fantasy titles all the while never trying nor claiming to be a direct compilement of Final Fantasy history.
You would get something like FFIX and FFT. Both game has obvious parallels to almost every FF game released before it. Reading the Proposition and side mission reports in FFT alone mentions scenes and places that have happened throughout the series.

I'm surprised (or just haven't payed attention to the back logs of the forum) that more people haven't tried making timelines for a connection theory using FFT as the basis. To me, it's a more obvious choice even though I'm fully aware the references are "in-jokes" more than being some "connection theory".
