◾️About this video
There is a rumor going around among Japanese FF fans that the stories of FFIII and FFVIII may be connected.
In this video, I will show you what supports this hypothesis.

First time I encounter someone who shares this theory with me! As someone who loves maps, comparing the ones of these games is something that stood out to me immediately, paired with the presence of Hain, it just fits so well together. This is one of those headcanons I've been obsessed with for so many years that Nojima could come to my house to tell me it's fake and I'd still run with it anyway. I will forever believe these two games are set in the same world thousands of years apart. Nojima who is btw the same guy who wanted to subtly connect 10 to 7 as well, so it wouldn't be out of character for him.

You should also know that in FF14 Shadowbringers the theme was FF3 with the crystal tower, and the raid patch introduced a raid that used FF8 as the theme

FFVIII and FFIII are connected, very interesting. 😍 There are similar point to connected the two world.😊

[@terryechoes3192]

If they had actually intended this from the start, that would've been really awesome.

[@JapaneseGames007]

SQUARE is good at adding things later, so I think they probably added a lot of things later (Haha)

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

That's certainly interesting; I haven't played FF3, but I did think it rather odd that Laguna would have any sort of conversation with CoD (aside from needing someone to trigger his funny "leg cramp" bit). I have to wonder if there are also any connections between FF3 and FF5, given the connections between 5 and 8... I also find it funny that the three least-liked entries in the FF franchise (before 13) have connections to each other.

Wow, now I gotta play FF3.

[@JapaneseGames007]

FF3 is a masterpiece ❤️

[@theme6530]

Really like your videos and would love more content about FF8!

[@JapaneseGames007]

Thank you. There has been a lot of feedback on my FF8 related videos, so once I finish the video I'm currently working on, I'm considering making a FF8 video next.

[@asterikblue5643]

You should do FFXIV! There FFIII and FFVIII connect. You are so close yet missing a link

[@JapaneseGames007]

You mean "Eden's Promise". Thanks for your appropriate comments.

[@carlosfigueredo5682]

Very interesting theory, I never finished or beat FF3, I think the furthest I got was the water crystal in the Nes version, and never played the DS remake, but it surely makes sense and these connections seem a bit more intentional rather than pure coincidence. There are similar connections between FF7 and FF10, so clearly, it is not outside the realm of possibility that every so often, Square tries to connect some of the main games. Maybe there is a hidden pattern. FF3 and FF8, FF7 and FF10, there could be more.

[@JapaneseGames007]

It is true that the relationship between FFVII & FFX has been officially announced. I was planning to make a video soon (Haha)

[@carlosfigueredo5682]

Nice, go ahead!!@@JapaneseGames007

[@rowanmorris2187]

Nice vid.

[@kevin933]

Do the buildings of the sky continent have similar architecture to what we see on the ocean floor zones of the Deep Sea Research Centre?

[@JapaneseGames007]

Even if it were the site of FF3's "Floatland", the building itself would have been built much later.

[@zemezengagaming]

Cool vid i like it

[@JapaneseGames007]

Thanks! FF8 is my favorite game, so please check out other FF8 related videos.

This is the first time I learned that such a function exists 😭 I will learn little by little while studying (Haha)

[@zemezengagaming]

Hey, why don't you use your own voice ?

[@JapaneseGames007]

Sorry, I'm a Japanese who can't speak English, and I'm currently studying English.

[@zemezengagaming]
