No and no. And no (as in no, you're not retarded, LOL). It's related to FFT in the sense that it also happens in Ivalice, but either in a "parallel world" Ivalice, or far earlier in time than FFT (this is still a matter of debate, including on these boards, but the developpers of the game haven't been clear about that ). It's also basically the same team behind the two games, at least originally (Matsuno left before FF XII was completed).
