    FFX-2 is a direct sequel to FFX. Before Crisis and Dirge of Cerberus are, respectively, the prequel and the sequel to FFVII. Besides that, though, the games are all connected only by vague references, in-jokes, and carried themes. There are no direct connections.

    In FFIX you actually get to solve a puzzle related to FFII.

    FFIX is a bit of a unique case. It contains references to EVERY mainstream FF game before it. Everything from Garland to Mt. Gulug to Pandemonium to that sword in Lindblum.

    Square's just having some fun with FFIX. It's just like a little tribute to all the previous ones.

    None of the FF's, besides FFX-2 and FFX and FFVII and FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, Advent Children, and Before Crisis, are really linked. There are some stuff from previous games incorporated into later games, like Biggs and Wedge, Cid, and the summons, but they're not directly linked to eachother.

    There are even some references to games that aren't Final Fantasy. For example, in Alexandria in FFIX you will come across a man named Ashley who runs the mini-theatre, who looks suspiciously similar to Ashley Riot from Vagrant Story (which just happens to be a Square game). Other similarities are in name only: the Mist and Ozma of FFIX appear in Legend Of Legaia, Mythril appears in Lord Of The Rings, and other such vague connections.

    Mithril was Tolkien's creation. I guess FF's translators just call it "mythril" in the pursuit of being unique, or something similarly stupid. Maybe they want the pun to be that much more obvious.

    7 to 10-2 are related because of the maps are similar- they look like Great Britain
    I would love to be happy, but unfortunately I'm too busy being awesome and kicking your ass at everything
