Yeah so what the smurf does Don Corneo actually do? This guy has to be full of trout.

Pimp.

It's an art form!

Do you have any idea of the logistics involved in hoe management?!

[Sephex]

He draws crappy art, but the people in the slums eat it up. Therefore, he got rich and powerful over pictures that I imagine where drawn like this:

I'll tell you what Don Corneo does.

In other words, Don Corneo is living off royalties from Shinra. That is, the kid Shinra, who is actually President Shinra. Because Don Corneo is obviously Brother.

And here I thought my paint pic I dew in 2 minutes would be the highlight of the thread.

[Jiro]

Well I think your portrait of the don is sexy.

I concur!

If my printer had any ink in it I'd hook it up, print it out and do despicable things with it.

HOLY trout This is the best FFVII theory I've ever heard

It has only taken years but we've finally unlocked the key to everything!

Just thought of something else...even though people know this one. But your Corneo Brother connection is valid because there is a character named Shinra on the same airship as Brother, let alone the same game. This obviously proves that FFX-2 and FFVII take place in the same universe, and some characters are reincarnated semi important NPCs.

Yup.

Do you think the "Promised Land" is actually Spira as well? I mean it would make some of Pressy Shinra's dialogue make less sense but IT COULD BE.

OH GOD MY BRAIN

If I recall correctly, Shinra actually says something about using the Farplane to harvest energy.

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN!!

[Jiro]

I guess we have to wait for Final Fantasy X-3 or Final Fantasy VII-2 or Final Fantasy VII-X to find out!

"VII-X" sounds like it would ruin both games. Unless they add into the story that some point there were two developing worlds that split apart, and one became VII and the other became X. So you could reason that since there are still theoretical "bonds" between the two worlds, Don Corneo is Shinra's brother in X, and therefore Shinra funds Corneo's actions in VII because of his love for his brother in the other world. Also, the game could then be called "VII-X Split"
