# Final Fantasy X 2 has a mini-side-quest that semi-confirms a direct connection between it and Final Fantasy VII, by implying that the Shinra in your group is the descendant of the original Shinra Corporation who produced the technology to head to the stars thousands of years ago.
. . .
The Phantasy Star games take place on planets orbiting the star Algol, where humans apparently evolved independently from humans on Earth.
* This one doesn't really count. Earth is a recognised and at one point active part of the Phantasy Star universe, and our galaxy does, in fact, have an Algol system (See here◊). Humans are indeed recognised as having evolved separately from those who appear on Earth, and it is distinctly not an ancestor planet. The only criteria for A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away that Phantasy Star fills is 'Applied Phlebotinum is a way of life'. Until Phantasy Star Universe, anyway, which if it is canon to the rest of the series, takes place A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far Far Away relative to Algol, not Earth.
* There's some fanwank out there that suggests that the Phantasy Star Online games actually take place on Earth. And the fanwank makes sense.
* Phantasy Star Zero takes place After The End on a planet called "Earth", which has a white, cratered, atmosphereless satellite called "the Moon". In a story mode quest, it is revealed that the Earth and the Moon were once known as Coral and Arca; Coral being the homeworld that the Pioneer ships of Phantasy Star Online launched from. Despite that, though whether this has any relation whatsoever to our Earth is still anyone's guess.
