I really never understood how VII and X can be connected firstly. X's planet is called Spira and VII isn't mentioned, but with the projection of the solar system it seems to be set in an alternate Earth. Also in X the names of the cities and countries are all diffferent than VII's and the planet is much smaller. If VII is the future then the planet should remain relatively the same or get even smaller. Plus Mako seems to be a recent discovery in VII as stated by one of the NCPs, probably only a few years or perhaps a couple of decades old.

To whoever put that quote up you must put that idiotic sarcasm away because you perfectly well knew that I was referring to story and universe, not just as games.
