Games that share the same world that few people know about

Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X/X-2

One of the most debated topics by fans of the Final Fantasy series is whether Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X/X-2 really share the same world. Square Enix has never provided an answer, but the many evidence that fans have discovered has shown that this is indeed a not-so-fanciful hypothesis.

The world of Final Fantasy VII is a ruined and ruined world, due to the indiscriminate exploitation of the life-energy source of the planet called Lifestream by Shinra Electric Power Company. The world of Final Fantasy X/X-2 is not like that, so the two seem to have nothing to do with each other. However, near the end of the game, if you control the main group of characters to talk to a baby Al Bhed on the spaceship, you will hear that it is searching for the planet’s life energy, in the hope of having a good time. can harness and supply energy to cities. And, most importantly, that Al Bhed kid’s name was none other than Shinra.

Another proof that the two games above share the same world, which is “pyreflies” – a characteristic creature form that first appeared in the game. Final Fantasy X. Explaining the existence of pyreflies is difficult, but it can be understood that they are the souls of all living things in Spira. When a creature dies, summoners need to perform a ritual to send those souls to the Farplane, if they don’t want them to turn into monsters, or live as Unsent – keeping their human form, but The mind gradually degenerates.

Pyreflies, a specialty of Final Fantasy X, also appeared in the world of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Kadaj – 1 of 3 incarnations formed from Sephiroth’s will and soul energy, after dying also turned into pyreflies to return to the Lifestream. If you look at it from another perspective, Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo are very similar to the Unsent, and what Aerith did to get Kadaj to accept her integration into the Lifestream, is also the “sending” ceremony that Yuna performed in Final Fantasy X. .

Because of these details, many Final Fantasy fans have assumed that the world of FFVII is the dying future of Spira in FFX. Of course, this is just an unconfirmed hypothesis, but it is still accepted by the majority of the community.
