Wrong. Before Crisis takes place six years before FF7. If it took place two years before FF7, then Sephiroth, Cloud and Zack wouldn't feature in it. Sephiroth would be in the Lifestream somewhere, and Cloud and Zack were, according to Last Order, under experimentation by Hojo two years before the original game.
