![7 Hardest Summons To Obtain [Commenter Edition]](/img/tr.png)
I remember the moment in X2 when Shinra suggested tapping into the Farplane. At the time I was like Hold Up! Isn't that what ruined the world in 7?
Also the notable differences between the farplane and lifestream is the color or lacktherof, the farplane is bright pink & blue and vibrant suggesting its dense and rich, the life stream is garish and sickly green as if depleted. There's a curious effect/illusion between Pink and Green if you stare at a bright green or pink dot then look elsewhere you'll see the opposite.
The lifestream is Gaia's lifeforce. The Farplane is just Spira's underworld. Spira is _NOT_ Gaia. Gaia doesn't even have Fiends or unsent, no sending ritual, materia lacks tons of features that spheres have, the Al Bhed don't exist and it's the Wutai the people are being tricked into being racist toward instead for completely different reasons. There's so many discrepancies, it's not even funny.
Hey Final Fantasy virgin. It's common in Final Fantasy games to use same names and themes in each game. Wait until you realize that Bahumut has been in every Final Fantasy since 1 or Chocobos since 2. Oh my god they are all connected!!! 😂God I hate zoomers. Especially rtard fgs with pronouns in their profile. The only games that have a connection (Besides obviously x,x-2 and the xiii trilogy) are the games set in Ivalice which are Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story.
@@WhiteSupremeJfc are you okay???
@@kerryann9851 Yeah I'm fine. I just hate how blown away zoomers are over nothing.
In the old FFVII when you’re at the market, there’s a poster or a tv depicting a large creature named sin.
wait WHAT where
Yeah like seriously do you have an exact location that's more specific?
@@cdmsinger12 it’s in a store inside of the market during the tifa abduction mission. I don’t know the exact location, it’s been years since I’ve played it. I just remember it, because I played ff7 after I played ff10 and thought there was a connection.
@@mfeliciano993holy crap Forreal😨
What you’re referring to is the basement of the 7th heaven bar, there is a tv screen with what appears to be an Al bhed and the word SIN is on the top of the screen.
I had a timeline that connected FF4 to FFX to FF7 when I was a stupid kid who was convinced they were all connected.
I like to think 1-6 are all connected.
they may be on the same planet. over tenthounsands to millions of years.i mean we consider our last 5000 years very important with all the kingdoms empires and so on. on a planet that is over million years old that is merely a footnote.
Vagrant Story, FF XII,FF Tactics, Crystal Defenders are all based in Ivalice.
If it makes you feel better. They’re all technically connected. There’s this concept in final fantasy called “the rift” it’s like a world between worlds. Different characters use it to travel like shinryu, omega weapon, and Gilgamesh. It’s also the basis for the concept of dissidia
You are not stupid or at least, not much. The games eere connected in the dissidia games where we can clearly see that garland has been existing for almost an eternity and visiting all the possible world as the caos itself. Not even chaos the monster is older than garland, garland is the last form of that chaos monster and he knows the nature of the rest of characters which means they are all connected
Fun fact: In his appearance in Final Fantasy XII, Gilgamesh does wield the Buster Sword and Brotherhood from the seventh and tenth games, respectively.
Yeah, though that's because Gilgamesh is a dimensional traveling entity. He wields other classic weapons as well. Depends on the entry.
I hope this is true in FF7 Rebirth 👍🏾
@@RuneKatashima Yeah but his Buster Sword in XII has the kanji for "fake/imitation" on it, suggesting it's not the real one, also has Squall's Revolver gunblade and Zidane's Orichalcon. FFXII rivals IX in how much it references past FFs.
Gilgamesh doesn’t have the legitimate articles, though. He only has replicas and fakes. He demands Cloud’s Buster Sword in Rebirth. Of course, he can’t hope to win it from Cloud.
Biggs and Wedges friendship also traverses time and space throughout all the final fantasy universes. Whether they be allies, or enemies, these two definitely personify "The POWER OF FRIENDSHIP"!!!
And Gilgamesh also traverses time and space to ensure he is always a pain in my ass
@@ignisofficialgaming hahahahaha FACTS
That includes CID, Chocobos, and Moogles.
According to the Ultimania guides, which are official books released by Square, in interviews done to the creators of these games, they reveal that Shinra with Rin's help did develop the technology to syphon energy from the farplane, years later, Shinra's descendants would develop space travel and and go from Spira to Gaia. While both games happen in the same universe, they don't take place in the same planet. According to the interview, the time lapse between the events of FFX-2 and FFVII is another 1000 years. While the connection is already confirmed, this created other theories that are yet to be confirmed or denied afaik: are the Spirans who traveled to Gaia the actual Ancients? and another theory that states that Jenova could be a Sin spawn that somehow ended up in space and evolved into a new life form
Mind blown
Jenova be a spawn from Sin is a amazing theory
Didn't he say that was a joke?
@RUclipsIdiot-oj2zt In the radio play that Nojima wrote, FFX-Will, it's revealed that the Farplane has become unstable and Sin has returned, causing Yuna to pledge to defeat it once again. It was meant to set up the plot for FFX-3, which they want to make at some point, and *seems* to imply that Sin might actually be a sort of Weapon that Yu Yevon was just controlling, not creating. The Weapons in FF7 Rebirth also look a lot like Sin.
come on bro. Sin is obviously a Weapon (planetary defence). I always knew this but its basically confirmed in Rebirth
also Jenova is a Summon.... Ill let you try and figure out the rest
The fact that Shinra always emphasized "I'm just a kid" in his dialogues suggested that he might grew up to be a very important figure in the history of that world. Whether SE intended it to be an easter egg or a joke, that picture in FFVII:Remake pretty much confirmed that the founder of Shinra Inc when it was initially just Shinra Manufacturing (a small weapons company) was Shinra, still wearing his favorite mask. And don't forget, Shinra (as a kid) had the idea of tapping into the Farplane (FFX-2), and eventually many years later, Shinra Inc tapped into the Lifestream (FFVII) and found Mako as a energy source.
I love this. FFX and FF7 are my two favorite FF games, so its really cool to see these connections
Same! (from what I’ve played of the FF series anyway)
@@lewis9ssame( Only played Kingdom Hearts and Watch Final Fantasy Playthroughs cause I waste my money)
When does 10 get good because I’m at the part where I just played Blitzball for the first time and then fought the monsters that attacked
@@slicky3397
all of it is good
@@abraham3673 I got half way and I’m finally enjoying it. Love the sphere grid
And the Jenova theory, where lady yunalesca is jenova, she escaped the FFX world and landed in FF7 world
What I got to know more about Final Fantasy was that each game is a separate story and the worlds are not connected but what makes them Final Fantasy is the elements that appear in the games such as the classes, the creatures and the summons
Yeah that’s the basic gist but he’s saying here that the story in ff7 and FFX might have a connection
They do. This was already explained to hell and back. FFX is a couple thousand years in the past of FFVII.
Until you play FF14 and realize that they’re probably all connected, somehow.
@Alex Diaz-Tous No. That's JUST FF14s universe. In truth none are connected except for direct sequels and 7+10. FF14s story is contained. Like Brave Exvius or WOTV Brave Exvius
If Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origins is to be taken seriously, then all the FF games are connected.
Basically, a new FF game comes out every time the last one _fails_ and it all has to start over. At least, that's a _really_ simple way of putting it, lol
In ff9 i remember the orchestra's people doing "welcome rufus" in tantalus ship😮
One of the people who headed the game said that this was just a reference and doesnt mean anything for the canon
The ancients are just Al-Bhed, and Jenova is just Wakka’s lineage trying to cleanse Gaia.
No, the Ancients are the Guado, they died out because people couldn't trust them after Seymore.
YOU WIN 😂
please no. Shinra are Al Bhed, Weapons are Sin and wakkas lineage are the Cetra.
such a horrible, horribly bad post, how can you get something so wrong
@@ThepurposeofTime the OP is memeing on you, playing on wakkas dislike of al-bhed.
@@pharaohthutmosis7803 I know what he's doing but many people will take it literally. did you not understand?
I think the "connection" was originally just a joke made by developers when they realized that there were a lot of similarities between 7 and 10 (spheres = materia, farplane = lifestream, etc.) and they decided to make references to it in 10-2
There's a number of obvious differences between them of course if you pay even the remotest amount of attention.
Well for one Spira is a Spiral world of death. Gaia is a completely different planet with a lifestream being the power not the farplane or fayth.
@@DirectorHMAN LIFESTREAM AND FARPLANE ARE THE SAME THING!!
omg guys 😂 come on
@@mattwo7Easter eggs are a pathetic way to "connect" two media together.
@@ThepurposeofTimeno
I believe that "farplane" or "promised land" to be the same place we see in FF4 with rydia. Where you can talk to different summons of the series.
I know it may seem a little random but you've must have noticed all the red moons right? 4 (in text) and it flying away at the end. 7, 8, 9 (worlds merging) and 10 in a cutscene underwater with Yuna/tidus
not the same farplane and promised land could be one in the same as a version of afterlife as promised land is just returning to lifestream/planet and farplane is essentially a pyrefly graveyard of memories ff4 she is still living just in a time warped reality (more similar to what happens to nocits with bahamut in 15
@WolfiePlaysYT warped reality like when clouds and tifa get lost in his memories...its the same green visuals as well along with what aerith draws in FF7R with the mural
@@WolfiePlaysYT Neither FFIV nor FFVII have sending rituals or unsent.
neither of those games had yu yevon either the main reason why sending was established @@mattwo7
The irony of this is Nojima's attempt with X was to make something akin to Ivalice in terms of standalone lore and worldbuilding with X. The fact that the worlds are so similar to the extent that large chunks of fans believe that Spira is literally just Gaia in the future or past is pretty funny to me.
It would have happened if they didn't fuck up the novel so badly.
@@blancneige4952 how bad is the novel? It’s canon?
I always heard it go that Gaia was the planet that humans moved to after messing up Spira.
@@DonShotta24As bad as X is as a game (very bad).
@@FelixS.how is X bad?
To be exact, Shinra actually fails to harness the power of the Farplane. But Nojima implies (and later directly states) that his descendants would found the Shin-Ra Company we know in FF7. So yeah, he basically states that FF7 and FFX exist in the same universe.
But he would later say that it was a bit of a joke. The FF7 references were somewhat unintentional. Well, a few were intentional, anyway.
"This story is a bit of a joke. When we created FFX-2, we wanted to create something, a totally new world. Except that when I created it, I realized that it looked a lot like FFVII... But without realizing it. Afterwards, when it was officially said in Ultimania, it took a completely gigantic proportion when it was just an anecdote.
This is way better and more insightful way to present this quote than the other guy in the comments yelling and raging about "misinformation".
The truth is that developers read our theories and took advantage from them, we've created a connection they'll turn into reality someday, I'm sure 😂
It gets worse: you know all those Spheres in FFX that contain recorded Memories... those are like Materia... the Memories of the Planet. And Pyreflies? Lifestream.
Not even remotely. You can't play back memories recorded on a materia (among a number of other things spheres can do that materia can't), there's no sending ritual or unsent in Gaia too.
@@mattwo7 Memories took different forms in the games. Playing them back meant different means. Mastering Magic was the basis of Materia "inheriting the memories".
As for Unsent, that's pretty much the Black Lifestream that Sephiroth is messing with... people's negativity in their souls... As for Sending... that's Aerith's Power: Great Gospel a.k.a. Water that purifies the Planet's Geostigma.
@@MimebladeGMailno
@@Kabal39 No you. Think about the writing for a second.
So the "calamity from the skies" might actually be a ship from Spira
Ngl, I thought the villain's name was gonna be "jackass" because Barrett called other people that a few times 🤣
So far I like the theory that Shinra used the farplane energy to create space age technology and traveled to (a neighboring?) planet, Gaia.
Once there he expected to find another farplane but instead found the lifestream, though a different element, it resulted in being more useful that the farplane energy. Shinra didn't know it at the time but the planet was already inhabited by the Ancients, of which a few of it's race once long long ago sought to travel the stars and were never heard from ever again. The lost one would eventually establish the original Zanarkand, and met their doom once their technology became too advanced.
Centuries would pass, not having learned from the catastrophe of the once great city of Zanarkand, Shinra Corp grew to become a new technological conglomerate, that would eventually lead into the events of FFVII...
Shinra got funding from Rin...
Many many fan theories when X-2 introduced the direct connections. My favorite was that Spira’s planet was dying, so Shinra’s descendants harnessed the Farplane’s mako energy to power space traveling ships and colonized the nearby Gaia. Unbeknownst to some of the travelers, some of the Al Bhed smuggled the fayth of aeons. Remember how Yojimbo was stolen from his temple and hidden in a cave. The fayth brought to Gaia were not necessarily the summons we were aware of in game since there must be many more summons in the world with how many summoners repeated the process to defeat Sin. So these fayths brought to Gaia became the Weapons - Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond and Ultima.
Yunalesca literally looks like Jenova i feel like no one mentions this and it drives me crazy.
Also another fun fact. Tidus was able to wield the Buster Sword, even thou it not one of his official weapons. And kinda funny the way he use it. He simply use it's tip for attack. 😂
That’s freaking wild, i was thinking of the same thing with the name and underground section
That FF7R picture had me doing cartwheels. I've wanted Jenova, Sin, and meteor to have a connection for a long time. 😂
I have a theory that 13 is connected to 10
13 is like prequel here are my clues
1. In 13 everything is ran by machines
2. The have something similar to the sphere domes (we see snow take Sarah on a ride through one)
3. If you look at the writing on some signs in 13 there very very similar to the writing in 10
4. Final boss of 13 is a machine trying to destroy everything
5. Hope looks like he could be an ancestor to tidus and has a lot of similarities to him
Lightning Returns' true ending implies an existence to something similar to the lifestream which in turn is similar to pyreflies
So… FF10 is a prequel to FF7 confirmed? Cool!
Rebirth also has the weapons look a lot like Sin from X, which seems to mean they're going hard on the idea of the settings being linked.
I like more the idea that every single Final Fantasy game is connected, taking place in a multiuniverse (basically Dissidia being canon) and Gilgamesh being the strongest connection between them
If you play ff14 this is all but confirmed
Gilgamesh is a good one but the one that soldit for me is Omega weapon
@@Zadamanim FF14 does not gave any bearing on the theory that all the FF games are connected via a multiverse. You clearly didnt understand the story of Shadowbringers.
@@bigdaddynero I didn't say it was confirmed, I said it was all but confirmed. I say this yes because of the multiple worlds idea from Shadowbringers but also because of the shear metric ass ton of references to other games, including characters like Noctis, Lightning, and Iroha making in-person appearances.
@@Zadamanim I didn't say you thought it was confirmed, though. I simply said nothing points to that being the case. Literally nothing. You don't know what the phrase "all but confirmed", btw. The multiple worlds in FF14 all exist in the same universe. We don't know where the other reflections of the star are, but they didn't magically become the worlds you see in the other final fantasy games. They're REFLECTIONS and all the reflections need to have the same base topography, same basic rules of nature etc.
7 and 10/2 are my two most fave games ever. Ending of 10 made me cry.
In fact, the creator of the game itself confirmed that "ffvii occurs too many years in the future after the events in ffX" so the connection was confirmed already
He said that was a joke
"secret."
I'm like 90% sure the developers have stated that they're the same worlds in an interview somewhere.
Final fantasy 10 was perfect
"HAHAHAHAHAHA" - TIdus
Maybe not perfect, but it was good. Then they made X-2. I think I just threw-up a little in my mouth from remembering it.
I think what X was in a way, was kind of like IX; it was a homage to the series predecessors in a way. IX has easter eggs referencing past entries, and well, so does X with VII. Also, one has to consider the idea that they also tend to reuse names and characters almost entirely but with a twist. Like with Cid, or Biggs and Wedge.
Personally, back when I was playing the games, I was trying to see if they were trying for some sort of multiverse thing, with the planet itself being at different points in time combined with the multiverse where the other games that are too far spun off exist instead with their own versions of planet.
Another thing to consider is the release time of X and XI respectively. They were basically worked on at the same time. And so elements of each are going to end up in each, potentially at least. Good example of this is Sonic 2 and Sonic CD, with Sonic 2 orginaly going to have time travel in it; which ended up only being a thing in Sonic CD. This happened, despite being worked on in two separate locations on the globe at the time with two different directors.
That all said, I do like that they made these references to VII, because the idea that some of these games are connected in some way, is a nice thing to have with long running series like this. It establishes a serial lore, instead of a ... what's the term... well I forget, but it's a term for tv shows that always have a resolution at the end of each episode so that a viewer can always watch any episode without needing to watch the others. Originally, FF was supposed to be like that. You could pick up any, and not have played any other, to understand each story. That's nice in its way. But having that building up of lore is also nice, in its own way, as shown by games like Legend of Zelda, which also was supposed to be the same way as prior stated. Originally.
So aside from potential attempts to establish such a lore base mechanic, which they have attempted again in some aspects with current games I should mention...
It was mostly homage at the time, I think, because of how they were going from one style of graphics to another, much like how they did from the end of the Snes games, to the PS1 games. IX represented the Snes games, and X represented the evolution from the PS1 games.
What better game to pay homage to in that regard, than VII?
Anyone who made it this far, thanks for reading.
Biggs, Wedge and Cid are in many different final fantasy games but as different characters
Its surprising but not really surprising afterwards, cause they basically a same games from the same company, with different fairy tail.
Just like hope was giving tidus vibes. They should compile a few FF with several main characters. Squall Cloud Yuna Lightning caius seymor edea sepiroth auron tidus aerith rinoa kimari Rikku Payne hope it would just be great to clash them and make a whole new storyline that yet intertwines.
I heard somewhere once that Final Fantasy X is in Final Fantasy VII's world but much further into the future
This is the only RUclipsr that was able to pronounce Kojima correctly.
It's Nojima.
And technically he pronounced it incorrectly.
It's a short "o" sound, like "stop" rather than a long "o" sound like "snow", giving it a different meaning.
If you don't believe me that the difference between a short-o and a long-o doesn't change the meaning of a word, say the sentence "There's snow on your nose" out loud except say the word snow with a short-o sound.
10-2 is a discgrace to what 10 accomplished. with sakaguchi, this would have never been approved
The two goats of the series vibing with each other, gotta love it
In FF7 Rebirth, they basically solidify the FF7-FFX connection by having Aerith do Yuna's Sending dance
Also Materia is just an evolved form of the spheres in FFX and X-2 the Farplane looks kinda like the lifestream, and fiends work in a VERY similar way, especially in how they die, they go to the farplane in X and X-2 and return to the planet in FF7 in very similar ways, and there are even more connections than that I've been noticing
Specific development teams inside of Square Enix have always had noticable connections in their entries. Sort of like how Call of Duty has 3 teams.
The team responsible for 9 also did 12 and 14, which you can see by how they develop mini maps, medieval architecture and character design. The 7 team did 7, 10, 13 and 15 which is noticable by many ways as well such as color palette and industrial inspiration / mechanical entanglement with nature.
Gets more and more obvious if youve played all of them, you can kind of get the sense of which series of artists worked on it. Wonder what other seemingly hidden connections are lying around out there.
Okay that blows my mind they put that "Easter egg" in FF7 remake. Glad to know they haven't forgotten about this tidbit of connective lore and sctively work to reinforce it.
I'd love to have a game that takes place in that in-between era of 10 and 7 some day. It would certainl be interesting. Call it like FF 10/7 or something
The suteki da ne pond scene was inspired by the Aerith pond scene at the ancient city as well right?
"A theory supported by in-game dialogue from Shinra himself."
Why wouldn't you show the line? lol
This dialogue is on the begining chapter 5 in FFX2 i quess.
Here is the whole conversation:
Spheres especially from the garment grid are so similar to materia. It's tapping into power not their own. In 7 though it seems the diversity of an individual materia is far less then a sphere.
I had no idea the 7 & 10 are in the same universe theory was such an established thing until now. Holy crap
They’re not connected ff7 was just really popular so making references of it in other games would just bolster sales
it's been years since I played both series and I did not notice that! WOW!
I love the subtle background music of the song JENOVA ❤
There was a moment in FFVIIR2 that blew my fucking mind.
You know if you know.
Probably because FF7 and FFX were directed by the same person. No wonder these 2 are the top 2 games in Final Fantasy and also my favorite ones
There's also an npc with the name biggs and wedge in ff10 that can be recruit as ur blitzball team
It's been made pretty clear that they're 100% the same world
I'm gonna freak out if there's a Blitzball on the beach at Costa Del Sol in FF7 Rebirth
So ff10 is before ff7 ??
The VII livestream is similar to the pyre flies of X to me
The character named Shinra in X-2 is hardly a secret connection. Literally anyone playing the game will encounter him.
Kitase, Nomura, Nojima and other key people worked on both VII and X so it's not really surprising that they share similar elements and references between them.
ruclips.net/video/BA1gwFKq7u0/видео.html 4:10 mark
you’re welcome
I understood years ago, that FFVII and FFX was set on the same planet, but FFX predated FFVII by tens of thousands of years. It all made sense.
Would be awesome if FF17 was a story that bridges the 2 worlds 😮
Cid knows better. He appears in every FF game..
Oh the bacground music is Jenova complete right? Such an underrated soundtrack.
Bro wanted to use the souls of the dead as an energy source...
you guys would be ever more amazed too know that 14 is between 10 and 7, 10 being the prequel to the chronology (notes from ff7 shinra electric power company was a force of soldier who once reigned as an empire (which empire the garlean ofc) if you pay attention to the story of 14 there are many hints at them having a power still no one is yet to know of (aswell as being the origin of weapon - diamond, emerald etc) and in the end im only gunna assume that 14 will leave the planet and head to gaia (which would also link 7 - 10 -14 to ff 5) as we know there are 2 planets and currently 10 and 14 are not on the same one as 7 and given that we now have a space ship and a moon vessel to transport a sizeable colony we could see the remaining garleans flee ff14 eorzea for the planet gaia thus kicking into motion what will eventually be the ever crisis of 7
Anyone else only play X-2 for like four hours and completely gave up in too? Literally hated everything about it
They're called Easter eggs.
This is just awesome! I honestly didn't know about this!
I'd like to believe that it's just a case of them reusing names again, same with Cid or Biggs and Wedge. Trying to connect mainline FF games like that Pixar shared universe theory is just really stupid.
I always thought shinra was a descendant. That sin was an embodiment of the lifestream AFTER all the ff7 events and games on a bad ending of sorts. Like lifestreams corrupted, sin comes. The souls of the dead get absorbed into the lifestream but due to soooooo many dying so fast the farplane happens. Materia is reabsorbed, and the descendant of mako infused/infected become "summoners" due to the links to the lifestream/farplane. The al behd were the remaining descendants of shinra corp. Who else would figure out the machina and not give a shit about holy taboos. But that was much younger me pre stoner days 😅
Where was the secret?
Not only that, but originally, FFX was going to have the Buster Sword as one of Tidus’s weapons, but it was cut during development. If the buster sword’s programmed in, Tidus would use the back hand of the Buster Sword.
Interestingly enough, Angeal and Zack uses the back hand of the Buster Sword in Crisis Core.
So… X might have influenced VII in just a bit.
X and x-2 is the best Square could ever have done. I only wish x-2 had the same j7nction system as x as the whole dress sphere thing, while cool, should have been in a different game. Either that or both systems should have been combined for the remasters.
The 2 greatest FF games
The entire franchise is this way. It isn't that big of a secret, The creators recycled and referenced content, places and people throughout the titles. (Not all of the content is always used each installment)
At first I had thought that every game took place in the same world but at different times, kinda like how this short explains with 7 & 10/10-2. According to other comments, that's not true
What about Syldra Inn in Cosmo Canyon, a reference to Syldra from FF5. Too bad the initial English language release of FF7 predated the English language release of FF5. So the name was translated as "Shildra" Inn lol!
Important to note: Its not FFX that is connected to FFVII. Its FFX-2. And i dont think many of us consider that game canon. Not due to the usual hate - dont get me wrong. Personally i enjoyed it for what it was.
But FFX-2 opens the door to the audio dramas. And those seem to be designed from the ground up with the express purpose of destroying everything we loved about FFX and its legacy.
It is hard to argue for FFX-2 being canon without also making those canon. And that is a price few of us are willing to pay.
Hence the FFVII link, to me, is entirely fan fiction.
if nojima wrote it, its canon, its a mainline title and a direct sequel. its technically canon, this is just your head canon. I think Kitase even confirmed this years ago on the street in an interview.
Shinra says, “There’s all this energy in the planet, maybe one day we could harness this”, which is probably referring to Mako in FF7. The farplane energy would be the lifestream. Most likely FF7 is also set in Spira, just way in the future from FFX.
Shouldn’t 10 come after 7 tho? Sin destroyed all the machina cities like zanarkand and midgar 1000 years ago. Why would they rebuild machina cities again when it was what brought sin in the first place
@@briansilva4165There's no reason why 10 would have to come after 7. And why wouldn't they rebuild cities? Sin was permanently defeated
Bring back turn based final fantasy games :,(
The way the fucking life force thing works is so similar between the two. Tidus is like a male Aeirth.
Theure called easter eggs, not connections. The games are not connected. In fact many of the Final Fantasies have reused nouns (names, items, places, monsters, etc)
Let's hope they keep the connection intact in the FFXR.
sounds like passing references to me
...and that makes you King Vermin
Now shu' up
-Barret Wallace 1997
I literally just played X and X-2 on the Switch and was wondering about this part of it was coincidence
For those unawares, FFX-2 has a character named Shinra who theorizes that energy from the Farplane can be harnessed. In this, FFX and FFVII are connected. Which is why we need a FFX-3 to make that connection official.
Also there is some talk about the Calm in ff7 strange huh.
Plot twist, FF7R part 3 will reveal that FFX people are the extra and sin is a spawn of Jenova
this is why FFX > FF7. so much more theories connecting
This raises the question then, at what point did jenovah hit
connection of ffx and ff7 is already confirmed by interview with Yoshinori Kitase himself so there isnt any "secret connection" between them when its confirmed connection :D
10 had such an amazing vibe, it went downhill from there
My two favorite of the series. FFX is more fun, but ffvii is just such an incredible art design and story.
Isn’t there already evidence supporting the fact that Final Fantasy VII and X’s world are actually the same planet?
ffx and ff7 crisis core are two of my favorite game of all the ff...
they confirmed there no link ,just a reference that got out of control cause of people imaginating things
Shinra my man you destroy Spira
