To add to what Ryushikaze said, there are also many more things that connect X and VII then connect VII and VIII. If you just look at them, you will realize the similarities.Originally Posted by Flower Moon
yeah, i don't know why somepeople think ffx/ffx-2 is connected to ffvii/ac
its all similarities and references and coincidences. FFs are sometimes based slightly on previous FFs but they are never the same world. there are usually things that prove that an FF isnt in the same world like things that dont make sense. even the similarities between FF3 and FF8 dont have me convinced that they are the same planet at different times (actually. this seems the most likely but i bet there something in FF3 that proves this theory wrong.)
the only way i can think of FFs being all on the same planet is the sci-fi style alternate realities and universes and dimensions E.C.T. but using things like that you could prove anything so my comclusion is that FF worlds are similar but never in the same world and timeline.

There you go and his hair isn't anything like Squall's Squall's is dark brown and hangs down while denzel's is this weird pinkish looking color and spiky.

All the FFs have mysterious links, I dont think FF8 and 7 would be this closely related, but I do believe that all the FFs take place on the same planet, at different points over millions of years.
(one simple example: Shinra in X-2 mentioning how pyreflies could be harnessed for energy, but that would take generations)

Lol. No FF is related to one another except for the ones Square has specifically said are.
i know...but i hate to think those dumbasses in FFX are related to those badasses in ff7....
I've always considered that a myth, Sakaguchi was notorious for keeping all FF titles seperate and FFX was his baby, Nomura just did the designs. It was nomura who has this fetish for making FF sequals and side stories. Just because some fanboy goes and points out some similarities, doesn't mean the universes are connected. It just means the stories share similar plot points and concepts. Saying FFVII and FFVIII are connected because of a necklace, is like saying Star Wars and Star Trek are connected because everyone flies around in space ships and fires cool laser guns.
And no offence to anyone here, but this thread is what happens when fans have WAY too much time on their hands, and little to no common sense. Good for a laugh or two though.
Cept it was Nojima, the writer, not Nomura, the character designer, who said that FF7 and 10 shared continuity. And as mentioned, it's in a UOG now.
I know it has been said but I don't believe that. There would be some mention to Sin in a history book or something. That is why I find this hard to believe. Also you should not make Sequels that are Prequels because then you mess up the whole time period. And what about the ancients. I think there would be some mention of those in FFX-2. Anyway I'm getting off topic. I don't think there is that much similarity between Denzel and Squall.Cept it was Nojima, the writer, not Nomura, the character designer, who said that FF7 and 10 shared continuity. And as mentioned, it's in a UOG now.
Or they could have arisen after 10-2, or elsewhere entirely.
And you don't believe the writer and official materials, then you're just being obstinate.
Whatever Ryushikaze. I don't believe it because all that is the same is some annoying little kids name who then goes on to talk about pyreflies being an energy source.
The writers don't have ultimate control over the franchise, it's the director that does. They have control over what parts of the script are adhered to, what stays in, how scenes are played out, and how characters will say the lines. Nomura had his stint as a assistant director on VII, director on VIII. Sakaguchi was director on IX and X before he quit (or was fired, depends on who you ask). Now Nomura has replaced sakaguchi as creative director on all Final Fantasy projects, until he abdicates it to someone else, or until the high muckity mucks at square say otherwise. And even if it is part of a UOG (which I'm assuming stands for ultimate online guide) it doesn't make it canon. Having it discussed in the actual storyline makes it canon. Guides can say all sorts of crap, but that doesn't make it legit. It's the director that has the final say in the direction of the franchise.
Though to be honest, It wouldn't surprise me if Nomura did try to officially connect all the FF titles he's worked on. It would be a storytelling disaster, but so was Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis core, Before Crisis, and Advent Children. Nomura is a character designer at initially, sakaguchi was a writer and often helped to pen his FF story lines himself. And the difference in their ability to effectively tell a story is tremendous. I'll always prefer Sakaguchi's well crafted tales over Nomura's derivative fluff any day.
ok...its true i wasnt a dumbass starting this thread...whatever...FFX and 7 are connected it was said in interviews and whatever....and spira is like bijillions of years before gaia....maybe they got wiped out or something by jenova.....then no more history was written and all the books and whatever were all buried or in some weird language...and look the sphere grid thing...all the knowledge of the person is in the sphere...ff7 found these things and used the knowledge in them already there instead of making their own spheres....and also like if you go into the materia thing sometimes it says strength+4 or mp+10% or whatever....this is jus like ff10...get over it...
Please the only similarity is a kid said about pyreflies being an energy force. Then in FF7 there was a company called ShinRa which was the kids name. They were only trying to make FFX-2 look better by saying that because they knew it pretty much sucked.
