at 1st they debunked ie then came out with truth in the FF complete workas

I think SE will probably make DLC for this.

ok hold on

ok heres the story behind FF10 and FF7 (still lookin for FF8 PITA!!)

As some fans of Final Fantasy VII, X and X-2 may or may not know, the worlds of the two games share a plot-related connection. The connection's existance was established during an interview with Yoshinori Kitase (lead developer of the Final Fantasy series) and Kazushige Nojima (the scenario writer of Final Fantasy VII, Before Crisis, Advent Children, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2 and the Kingdom Hearts series) in 2002, as featured in the Final Fantasy X Ultimania Omega guidebook, an official Square-Enix publication.This interview established that there would be a connection between the twoworlds, though it didn't detail it. However, based on what was later revealedto be the connection, it's clear that it had already been conceived, asKitase hints at it with his final word on the subject. In 2003, the exactnature of the concept was finally revealed in the Final Fantasy X-2 Ultimania,having been hinted toward by a few elements of the game.Nojima revealed that Shinra of the Gullwings, an Al Bhed child prodigy andinventor of various machinery, would attempt using the remains of Vegnagun --the behemoth machina Shuyin tried to destroy Spira with -- to extract lifeenergy from the Farplane and use it to power machines. Shinra would attemptdoing this as a result of his analysis of the Farplane late in the game.During this diagnostic, Shinra concluded that there was a great deal of energyfloating around inside the Farplane, and that it was most likely the lifeforce of Spira, which could be extracted and used as a power source; however, he concluded that it would take generations to properly implement the idea.Further of note is that Nojima explained that the Al Bhed entrepeneur Rin alsowas interested in extracting mako from the Farplane, and that he providedShinra with the funding to make the attempt. For his part, Rin's desire to dothis is revealed during the game should he be uncovered as the culprit behindcovering up the malfunctioning machina disaster on the Mi'hen Highroad. Nojima went on to say that Shinra's attempts to use Vegnagun's remains failed and that he was unable to complete the concept of mako-extraction, just as Shinra had predicted. However, some 1000 years later, once space travel became possible, Shinra's descendants would go on a voyage to the world of Final Fantasy VII. There, at some point in the future, they would be successful in utilizing the concept, and would provide electricity from the Planet for a price; these descendants would found the Shin-Ra Company of Final Fantasy VII.The connection would again be hinted toward in the Final Fantasy X-2:International+Last Mission (released in 2004) game's Last Mission scenario, inwhich Rikku revealed that Rin and Shinra had begun working together. Next,the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega guidebook (released in September, 2005) also brings forth mention of the concept, and, finally, the connection may have received further indication through Dirge of Cerberus (released inJanuary, 2006) and the Advent Children Reunion Files book (released in May,2006), in which it is established that the Shera airship seen in AdventChildren and Dirge of Cerberus runs on ancient, lost non-mako technology thatCid discovered. This technology very well may have originally belonged toShinra's descendants, as they are the only previous inhabitants of VII's worldindicated to have been in possession of advanced technology, and because the interior of the Shera bears some aesthetic resemblances to those of theFahrenheit and Celsius airships that figure prominently into FFX and FFX-2(though the Shera's interior bears more of a resemblance to the Celsius').

That is completely stupid, even playing all three of those games there was nothing in game that explained any of this, and if it did it would make me break the discs for the games and maybe burn down a Square Enix distribution center.

I have a feeling it will be Penelo and Vaan.

What a horrid idea on characters if true.

At least give us Baltheir.

Looks pretty good.
