Space?!

[IndigoDarkwolf]

please clarafy the high lighted part, cause i'm preety sure i miss the reference there

Psssht, everyone knows that Zanarkand used to be called Midgar and that Tidus is the reincarnation of Cloud created by Aerith because Sin was actually created by Sephiroth.

Also, didn't you know that FF2 was actually the War of the Magi referred to by FF3?! They're direct sequels!



Please tell me you know I'm joking.

Edit: Had something completely made up, now hidden but preserved for laughing's sake.

There's a character in FFX-2 named Shinra, who's descendants go on to develop space travel, and then find the planet of FFVII. The 'humans' in FFVII are really descendants of this Al-Bhed child. The Cetra were the original inhabitants on the planet before the Al-Bhed came. Jenova arrives on the planet only a while before the Al-Bhed, so the Jenova crisis was avoided. That's why the Cetra died out, but the Al-Bhed still lived. Also, the Al-Bhed then go on to found Midgar and the Shinra corp. That's why it's named "Shinra".

That's even better. A character named Shinra from FFX-2 implies that their descendants founded Shinra corp.

Can you present something *canonical* to support that the boy named Shinra was anything more than a reference to FF7?

More seriously, I suspect that if there's space involved in ARR, it'll be because the players' parties get teleported into space from the crystal tower, or Bahamut's labyrinth. I mean, seriously, why would Bahamut waste his time coming down to Eorzea just to beat up some reckless adventurers?
