It's a fan theory, and one I believe has been rejected by the devs in the past when asked about it.
Did you even fully read my post? You assume I'm saying those other games happened in 14, I did not. I said those game locations are copied into 14 as official locations. ie FF Tactics happens on a few worlds, however, Ivalice is the name of the setting, and that setting is officially in 14. With shared histories, and characters to the original game.

As to the fan theory, all Final Fantasy games are connected, which has been both denied and confirmed in parts. There is only one Gilgamesh is confirmed. Shinra from 7 is related to Shinra from X-2 that kid somehow gets to the world of 7 and builds the company that eventually becomes Shinra Electric. However, they have also stated that each Final Fantasy numbered game has it's own unique world. Now does this mean they are specifically unique cosmologies and worlds or are they all worlds within a cosmology, also their statements on this do not prevent a numbered FF game to happen on the same planet at vastly different times.

Basically, the fan theory has neither been confirmed nor denied, however parts of it has both been confirmed and denied.
