Final fantasy does have a time line?

Not necessarilly; the world in FFVI changes drastically in what I'm assuming was at most a few days. All you need is the horrible disaster, not time.

True to a degree, but the actual degredation of the world occured over a year, as stated (SPOILER)when Celes wakes up in the cottage Cid set up; he tells her that she'd been unconscious for about a year and that, over that time period, Kefka had been methodically destroying the world. So while in theory that is true, it is implied in most of the FF games that the world-shaking calamities occur in a time period spanning more than a few days, except for the (SPOILER)destruction of Midgar at the end of Final Fantasy 7, if you really can count that as a tragedy.

I think there is a continuity in the FF series, but definately not the way this guy presented it. I think you'd have to beat all of them to determine that. The fact that Garland popped up in 9, with an NPC saying that he had tried to do this before, is enough to suggest that.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. FF IX was a game that was purposely made to have several references to past FF games, and that's all they were ever intended to be: references. I remember reading somewhere (PSM, I believe, but I can't state for certain) back when FF IX came out that they were doing all the references to past games because FF IX was going to be the last original FF in the traditional mold. Thus, FF IX returned to the games' fantasy roots and left a bunch of winks and nods to fans of the game.

Are there connections between the games? No, or at least not any as so substantial as to say that they affect one another. Are there similiarities? Certainly, but similarities do not necessarily created connections between the games.

Garland used the spell "Fusion" to fuse Gaia and Terra by force. This is why Mikoto said that he had tried to do this before.
And another wrong point in his theory, is that he said that Terra is a moon of Gaia, but the truth is that Terra is in the core of Gaia.

thanks for both you guys for clearin' that up.

But what about this one:

"Where is the dimensional interval?" - Gilgamesh in FFVIII

and don't compare this to Kingdom Hearts
