Re: FF connection to Earth

I hate to say it, but if Nier is canon, FF is directly connected;

Spoiiiilllerrs for the Nier series:

Ultra simplified (and no I don’t care enough to check into detail because it’s awful in the first place, despite the games individually being quite good)

Drakkengard-> Dragon warps to modern times, somehow, and gets shot down by a fighter jet…
Nier 1 -> Which causes a disease that wipes out humanity, which get replaced by androids
Nier 2 -> which get into a never ending war with alien invaders, which also are dead and have robots of their own that mimic human societies, for some reason
FFXIV -> which after completely resolved and somehow manage to replicate parts of Nier 2 for…reasons.. on the -not even the main plane of existence-.

That final boss of the Nier raids, with the trains? Yeah that was meant to be faux Tokyo.

Re: Traversing the Rift

Also, I think Gilgamesh is canon to be only one guy across all the games. That is the guy we mess with in theManderville line is the exact same guy you mess with in Final Fantasy 5, as opposed to just a name-recycle (see Cid/Biggs/Wedge/etc)

I believe he has the ability to move between worlds, albeit I’m not sure he can choose a destination.

Yes Greg is the same one. The same is for a lot of the different Omegas. Also reading your very basic run down of the Nier time line has made me go "Oh no no no no. No no no please gods no. Why do I have to be reminded about that part of Nier lore?" Cause part of the reason we even get to androids is due to the disease caused by the atoms that were left from said goddess's death some of the human population down loaded themselves into the grimiore( I could be wrong in remembering) and awaited for a time when the plague had been cured but that day never came and some of them became corrupted. And I know I said I was done with Solution 9 wild assed theories but it just fist and now I wanna use Kiros on my Nier knowledge.
