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 completely agree with you...i think its dumb..random...and done to give FF10 a few cool points with FF7 crowd

This has got to be the worst theory ever. Or worst description of one. I'd thought that

Ultimecia= Rinoa after her powers caused her to see the world in a different light or something like that. And decided to try and use her powers to try and correct the world into a better place maybe so she and Squall to have a family or something. And as predicted SEED and the world fought back and probably killed or gravely injured Squall. Using her powers of Time Compression and whatnot Rinoa aged/fused or whatever Squall into a GF so they could be together forever into the perfect world.


There I pulled that outta my ass and it sounds more plausible then watching Wings change colour in motion. Talk about looking into something to deeply.

Where in the game did they say that?


They say it on a plane. or it's heavily implied. That Black guy says that Squall looks a lot like his father and Laguna starts Spasing out for no reason.  Of course being Emo Squall ignores the comment and walks away

Support:

-During the course of the game. We see that sorceresses are prone to becoming evil and wreaking destruction.

-Rinoa and Ultimecia have a very similar apperance. During the extensive FMV at the games end, there are some extremely short bursts of pre-rendered models of Ultimecia. This is the only time we see these FMV shots of her in game. They follow directly after shots of Rinoa. The resemblance between the two faces is uncanny.
*Why would the games creators put in an FMV that is hardly noticeable unless it had some purpose? These images are very hard to catch unless the framerate is slowed.

-Ultimecia has Rinoa's angel wings, only black. In a few of the games FMV's, we can see Rinoa's wings changing from white to black. This is even more noticeable when the framerate is slowed down substantially

-Ultimecia has Greiver, which she couldn't have without a connection to Squall. During the game, the GF doomtrain is obtained from solomons ring. Squall gave Rinoa his ring early in the game, which was never returned to him

-Ultimecia's castle is located at the very same place where Squall and Rinoa promised each other that they would 'meet'. Ultimecia ends up meeting the team there at the games end.

-During one of the games sequences, Rinoa tells Squall that if she were to ever turn on them, then she wants him to kill her. He inevitably does kill sorceress Ultimecia

-Ultimecia's guardians have a few of your GFs wich you can draw if you missed then earlier in the game. As the last surviving team member, Rinoa had all the team's GFs.

-One of the team's GFs is also a guardian in Ultimecia's castle (Bahamut/Tiamat).


One might ask why Rinoa would want to kill squall and the team at games end. This is simply answered by the fact that her memory was consumed by the GFs that she was attached to. We know that the GFs cause substantial memory loss over a span of time.

Also, one can hardly ignore Ultimecias lengthy speach at the end of the last battle, where she talks about holding on to something so dear, and growing bitter at its loss.
