yeah, i totally believe this, but if the guy wants to vaguely connect the two words, then we have to take it as canon, as it was said by the guy who wrote the scripts for both the games, regardless of when he said that.

if we went along with what you said, that means that we should ignore what the excecutive people who worked on the game said about FFVII, 7 years after the game came out.

I know the stories are connected but that doesn't mean I have to like it nor respect the wishes of the writer since he's a talentless hack.
he's obviously isn't a 'talentless hack', as he managed to make both the connected games loved and respected by millions of people

I don't see the point of connecting them, and I feel this gesture is disrespectful to the ideals of the creator of the series.
what are/were the ideals of the creator of the series then?
