>X happens before 7God fuck, okay do you remember how the Ancients are supposed to be a nomadic race that lived in communion with the Planet? And that humans broke off from the Cetra because they weren't willing to tolerate the Pilgrimages anymore. And if we're accounting the Remake series then the humans killed off the Cetra out of jealousy and fear. With swords. Magic and Machina weren't separate things in FFX, Zanarkand is described as a machina city and after Yuna's Calm, machina is freely used again. So the magic users aren't split off, they don't speak to the planet, and they're not nomadic. Where the fuck even is the Forgotten Capitol, there's no city like that in Spira. Is it Zanarkand? How do you go from Bevelle to whatever the Temple of the Ancients is supposed to be?
>People can pass onto the Farplane on their own, if they're not cunts.Yes but most don't even in FFX. You mean to tell me that evil dictator President Shinra passed on quietly? Hojo passed on quietly? That motherfucker uploaded his brain into the internet, are their two Hojo's? One spiritual and one digital?
You see how dumb this gets? It's better to just not do it and take 7 = X as a funny Easter egg with no canonical weight.
