Oh yeah, and if you sat down and played Final Fantasy 7, the only way you would know it was a Final Fantasy game is that it says "Final Fantasy" in the title.
1-6 had a number of repeating and underlying themes that made them all part of a franchise despite the fact that they happened in different worlds.
Final Fantasy 7 was basically called a Final Fantasy game to cash in on the name. In game content it has as much to do with the original final fantasy games as Dragon Quest or Blue Dragon.
It would be like getting NBA 2k9 and popping it in, and find that instead of NBA teams they are all teams from different planets in the solar system playing basketball tournaments on asteroids to decide the fate of the universe.
It might be a fun game and all... but it has nothing to do with the NBA.
