[boys from the dwarf]

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.
