FFX/FFVII STORY CONNECTION

A while back, a guide was released by DigiCube for Final Fantasy X-2 titled "Final Fantasy X-2: Ultimania Guide". The book shed some light on the story connection between Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X. In FFX-2, there is a character by the name of Shinra who helps the Gullwings (Yuna's team) hunt for spheres all around Spira. Eventually, Shinra leaves the Gullwings and starts a new project to extract Mako from the Far planes. The project was financed by the al bhed Rin and was fairly successful. However, technology hadn't advanced far enough in Spira for them to use Mako worldwide.
Many years into the future, the descendants of Shinra (from FFX-2) went to a new planet and used his teachings to draw Mako out of the new planet, cue Final Fantasy 7. So apparently the FFX series is somewhat a prequel to FF7.
This idea was just shown in the Ultimania guide and was not shown in any of the games mentioned above. The connection is fairly interesting and would have been even more interesting if it were in the games.
