Final Fantasy III is set in Hydaelyn's 4th Umbral Era

That is just crazy enough to be true or at best be loosely related.

I think what would be a big swing either way is its location in the actual game. As videos and SS of silvertear before and after the big boom; you would think a big tower of crystal would turn up. (Unless its magically/mechanically can be hidden moved etc.)

That is a compelling argument for it being true with some nice evidence. The big thing against it in my eyes is its something that has never been done in game. Now the argument that 7 and 10 share the same world is really thin and its not in game it was mentioned elsewhere.

Would be Cool though...

I'm trying to remind myself that the maps in 1.0 and ARR have more discrepancies than Bahamut could have hoped to achieve. They're adding things like this that never existed, and totally shifting locations around, like the Mun-Tuy Cellars, which should be in North Shroud on the way to Hyrstmill. An underground network wouldn't shift so cleanly across that distance.

X-2 had an ambiguous allusion to VII happening in the future, but nothing was outright stated except for in the Ultimania. Still thin, but there is in-game material to back it up. There are a number of problems surrounding it, too (the Shinra line would have to exist longer than mankind's memory of space travel, and only recently discover what the Al Bhed kid set out to do millennia earlier.)

As for FFIII = ancient Hydaelin: My problem with this is that Xande was not an emperor in FFIII. He was one of three Magi apprenticed to Noah, along with Doga and Unei. Noah gifted Doga with immeasurable magical powers, and Unei with complete control over the dream world. He bestowed Xande with mortality.

Angered, Xande sought to create an imbalance between light and darkness in favor of the latter, which would stop time for the world and render him immortal once more (there's a flaw in his logic somewhere :P) He nearly succeeded, and the world was mostly flooded with darkness with the exception of the Floating Continent. Did the Xande in XIV cause such an event?

I just figured that the old Mun-Tuy was destroyed and a new one was built elsewhere with the Gridanians giving it the old name out of a sense of the need to rebuild after the Calamity, much like a lot of the Aetheryte Camps and other places in Eorzea.

I'm curious to see where this one goes, particularly once Mjollnir sees this thread and he's like, MY TIME HAS COME.

I'm only buying into this if every single FF game and Earth actually takes place on Eorzea at some point or other in time. Come on, we need a conspiracy the size of The Pixar Theory!
