This is taken from the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania, which is a behind the scenes guide to the Final Fantasy VII universe published by Square Enix. I have a translated version since it never left Japan. |

My favorite part of this it that it makes more sense when you take into account that the Cetra walked on the planet when a certain "Jenova" suddenly crashed into the planet. If we are to take this into context, Jenova could be the inhabitants of Spira, and the descendant's of Shinra, who caused the death of the Cetra due to their Mako excavation and advanced technology. Another interesting fact I personally find to be related is the fact that Sephiroth has a specific move that if you analyze correctly may shed some light on if this is true or not. Sin Harvest. Sure, one could say that it has no relevance to the big bad in FFX but if he is a descendant of Jenova and they come from Spira it could be named as such to show that he would try to destroy the world as Sin used to on a regular basis. |

You looked at it wrong XD JENOVA is just an alien and they say nothing about it. It's the founders of Shin-ra that reincarnated from FFX world into the FFVII world a thousand or so years later. Continuing their plans from the FFX world into the FFVII world. But, the Sin Harvest would make sense if... it didn't pre-date FFX :P |

Now now, if they were stupid enough to link such a good game with two crappy ones, whose to say they won't soon come out with JENOVA being some bad inhabitants of Spira....or maybe even Sin itself? Just because you are told something doesn't mean you know the full story, you can't deny that. As for it pre-dating FFX, whose to say they hadn't been planning something like this for a long long time? It did take them 6 years to finally come out and say everything, at least everything they want us to know, about what we know. |

Nomura isn't known for planning ahead... he's known for working on a billion things at one time and going at it as it comes to him. But the Ultimania stated all the connections and gave dialog from FFX/VIIDoC supporting it. I just didn't post all the dialog and whatnot since... it's a lot >.o |

I've seen this before, and I admit it's interesting, although I hate they had to tie one of my least favorte FFs to one of my favorites, even if it was indirectly. Of course, there's theories floating around on the net that all the Final Fantasy games are inter-connected to one another, although it's not a straight chronology. |

It makes sense if you think about it to a degree. The cetra are the original inhabitants of the planet. For arguments sake lets say they had some technology behind them, since they created the Ultima weapons. A thousand or so years before shinra's descendants arrive. Jenova crash lands into the planet creating Northren Cave Crater. The following event is the cetra annihilation, which only a few cetra survived. Over the years after Jenova was sealed. The cetra were unable to reestablish there population. A thousand years have passed in X and X-2 time line, when the descendants of shinra land on the plant. The descendants of shinra landed in what we can assume to be a colony sized airship, or an airship designed to colonise other planets. The descendants of shinra then established Midgar. This becomes the center point of the colonization project. Time goes by and Midgar expands, and becomes over crowded. Shinra's descendants learned to conserve space on the planet. Instead of building the city outward they decide to build it up wards. Leading to the plates above the city to be built, around Crisis Core. We can then presume Wutai was established by a different group of colonist. Instead of relying on Mako technology. The descendants of Wutai relied on the technology of X and X-2. This might have put them selves at a disadvantage against shinra. This could also explain why Wutai is viewed as more oriental, but ancient culture. At some point we can presume shinra decided to bring Wutai up to date. Unfortunately a dispute breaks out, and the shinra/Wutai war begins. The rest is history as they would say. |
