zenrot you were right in your thinking
my japanese tutor was showing me her copies of FFX ultimania and FFVII ultimania
in interviews with the creators..well I was flipped upside down when she read it =p
they take place in the same universe but different planets, and according to nojima it would happen roughly 1000 years after FFX
shinra of the al-bhed(in FFX international/last mission) was trying to use the remains of vegnagun to siphon energy from the planet, after space travel was possible for these people they finally finished the technology on another planet and created 'shin-ra'(id like to state that space-traved was not accomplished in shinras lifetime but generations later)
on top of this nojima says that pyreflies anf the lifestream are of the same substence, he refers to spiras world energy as mako energy
also in FFVII dirge of cerberus and ffvii advent children
the ship cid uses called shera uses ancient technology he doesnt know how it works but it doesnt run on mako, its machina @_@
now I cant help but see sin as a 'the strongest weapon' in FFX lol
she translated a lot to me but these are what stuck in my head sooyeah...
the original pepople of the planet of ff7 are the ancients, everyone else is descendant of the people of spira(al-bhed's especially)
it really gets my head stirring >.>
id like to state also that while they are in the same universe, the planets can still function differently in how they use their lifestream
EDIT:
Quote:
Because they aren't. Aeon's are the souls of individuals willing given up from their bodies and encased in statues, called upon by the summoners for their power. It's a rather special procedure, and it takes a summoner to be able to summon them. The Aeon's choose to come for those individuals. Not everyone can do it.
In FFVII, their just random materia, no different than any other materia. A person, ANY person, uses the materia, and the effect that materia has will happen. In this case, it just happens to be in the form of a summon.

encased in statues right? maybe its condensed spiritual energy? primitive raw materia...who knows
the main difference is that the people of FFX are very spiritual and behave in a christian-church-hierarchy fasion
high summoners, corrupt leaders, ect.
the ancients are the same, and prolly wouldnt have changed if the people of spira(mainly al-bhed people) didnt show up
EDIT AGAIN:
I was reading online somewhere that it hints in bugenhagens universe simulator(ffvii) it actually shows spira...
I also formed a pretty cool theory...THEORY
what if..jenova and sin are of the same species but different kinds..like different giant universal viruses eating and destroying lifestream around all the planets
JOKE:
the next awesome sequel to ffvii
watch as sin gets ripped to pieces by cloud n friends >.>
