FF7 FFX Connection

I just read an article that says theses two games are actually connected, but there is thousands of years between them. Shinra from final fantasy 7 is named after shinra from ffx. Shinras relatives went into space and landed on gaia and then created the shinra corporation. This is confirmed by the games creators. Look at the similarities between the bevelle underground and midgar. There are also missions that show how Rin and shinra start to work together. With rins finances shinra is able to analyze the farplane and then generations after him are able to use the vegnagun to siphon the farplane and use the energy as a resource. This technology is then used on gaia to suck out the lifestream. MIND BLOWN

That is actually kind of interesting. I remember a few years ago someone here at FFE brought it up.

Wow, that's just... awesome.

I never would have thought that they'd link games together like that. I almost wonder if they'll release another game explaining the link in greater detail. There's got to be a stor there.

Arent FF1 and FF3 connected too?!

Now that I think about it I think all the FFs could be connected in some way.

Or is Red a descendant? That would support the theories that VII is after X with the whole idea that Shinra from X-2 was either the creator or ancestor of the people who built Shinra Corp.Lightning__Evil

Have any of you guys heard about the theory of FF and the Legend of Zelda being linked? Haha link, get it?
