Im not sure if any1 has picked up but the are several connections between ff10-2 an ff7. well of course the is the kid from the airship called Shinra which anyone with a brain cell would have noticed but if u return 2 the airship after reachin the the farplane place with loads of flowers u will hear shinra talkin about a energy flow (which he called a lifestrem ) runnin in the farplane and that it could be used 2 create power 2 be used 4 power cities. Even though i haventplayed ff7 in a while isnt that wot the company shinra did????

Yeah. Some people think that FFX-2 is before FFVII but thats not true. The landscape is completely different and where are the pyreflies?

well i am begining 2 believe that is set b4 ff7 plus i think ive seen pyerflies in ff7 b4 an dosent the landscape begin changin in 10-2 like the calm lands and maclania lake and woods

Well, there isn't a connection between all the FF storys (beside X and X-2), but there's always a connection in names, monsters etc.

For example: Bidge and Wedge, the Chocobos, the magic spells and so on.

And certain things will always show up again, in different formes or different names...

That's the way Final Fantasy is! :)

i know that its just this whole shinra thing was exactly the same as the shinra in ff7 like how he said he could extract power from the farplane and it was the same as wot shinra corp wanted 2 do in ff7 just watch the scene n ull agree

I think its just to tickle our imagination and a little teaser.

this might sound farfetched but hold up, final fantasy 9 i think was the first, the technology progressed to make x and x-2, then the link with seven is big with shinra an that but it can be taken one step further, in 8 the deep sea deposit remember where eden an bahamut were? it was according to squall "searching for a big draw point underground" could this be a link to the lifesource sucking engines of shinra inc.......
