Yeah, FFII--FFT--FFTA--FFXII

I'm still skeptical about TA, however.

Also, have you checked IV's sequel? The main bad guy seems to be a being who devours whole planets that he considers inferior. Interestingly, before him, you fight againts lifeforms of some of those worlds, which are previous bosses of I through VI.

Interesting...

[x_XTacTX_x]

... IV has a sequel coming out? Or did I miss something?

[V_Translanka]

It's already out...well, in installments...It's an oldschool RPG that's only in Japan for their cool cell phones.

[Acacia Sgt]

Yes, Final Fantasy IV the After: Tsuki no Kikan.

Last chapter was released back in December 24.

[HyperNerd]

Holy shit, How'd I miss that??

[x_XTacTX_x]

Fuck that shit. I'm not gonna redo all of that just for some cell phone crap.

[Acacia Sgt]

Honestly, I want to know how much canon the game is. I wouldn't want it that the worlds of FF I through VI except IV no longer exist as being canon.

Although, it does confirms they happen in different planets and such.

[HyperNerd]

I just like to think none of them are connected, or they are tales of lore in some unkown world. Probably the Chrono world 

[Acacia Sgt]

Or, the Chrono world is just another planet.

Now I wonder, would the party have fought someone from there have they been a victim too? Or that they too where a victim in the first place?

[x_XTacTX_x]

Technically, for thos eof us who play FFXI, you would know that every FF is actually a story in the Windurstian library.

But I refuse to believe that.

[placidchap]

I normally don't care for those kind of things; FFT:A annoyed me with the whole "let's get back to the real world" crap...but I do like the idea of something like MYST applied to the FF series.  Something along the lines of powerful Windurstians who write stories that come to life (in the books, like Myst), whether they know it or not.

edit: Probably because I have always wanted some kind of continuity between all of the games, and that would be the one cord linking them, thus achieving my desire.

Well it has been confirmed (through an Ultimania guide I think?) that FF X and FF VII are directly connected, in that the people of Spira left that world and journeyed through space to VII's world. Also, Final Fantasy XII, Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Vagrant Story are all chronologically connected - in that order - in the world of Ivalice.

Anything else is speculation until someone says something about it. I personally imagine that they will try to connect all of them in one way or another, especially with all of these re-releases happening.

[HyperNerd]

I just remembered how sad Mother 3 really is.

[Acacia Sgt]

Which part are you, or have you finished it already?
