very true
tho to be honest, if they were keeping a storyline going for the ff series then the question remains where did ramuh go in ff10 as well, since he appeared in ff7, and ff9. tho as i recall he wasn't in ff8 which is odd.
then u've got the whole bahamut thing, neo bahamut and bahamut zero in ff7 only. as well as all the g'fs in ff8 that didn't appear again - eden, pandemona, carbuncle, cerberus, quezacotl who seemed to replace ramuh with the lightning element attack, and various other gf's
and i wasn't a big fan gilgamesh he was poor to be honest, no where near as kool as odin, he did some really pants move on seifer, that no way rivalled odin's and u can see this from the cards (odin's 8,A and gil 9,7, plus i have a thing about nija's, knights are far kooler
