The mask in FF7R, means nothing really and would even prove that X and VII could not be the same world, unless the little Al Bhed himself is 10s or hundreds of thousands of years old.
XIII and XV are only connected by the fact XV used to be XIII versus and they used some of the original lore and themes, again not the same world.

The games are all in the same multiverse, but none share worlds unless they are a continuation of a previous title. Like X and X-2 or XIII and all of its sequels.

And making Altana, Hydaelyn would retcon nearly all of FFXI lore, which again, would be a disservice.

This is a whole lot of stretching, wishful thinking and reddit conspiracies.
It's not one of the main games in the series but Gilgamesh kinda broke the 4th wall here establishing a multiverse in these event cutscenes lol.
