Is Final Fantasy 1 to 6 connected?

No, the main Final Fantasy games (I-X, XII, XIII, XV, XVI) are generally not directly connected story-wise; each numbered title presents a unique world, characters, and lore, though they share common themes, creatures (Chocobos, Moogles, summons like Shiva), and recurring character archetypes (like Cid) as a stylistic nod, creating a shared universe feel without direct narrative links, except for explicit sequels like X-2 or the XIII trilogy. Think of them as different stories within the same broader fantasy genre, with occasional "Easter eggs" linking them.

It's Final Fantasy. Elements and names are often reused, but there's no continuity, no canon. Every installment is a standalone. Even within games in the same installment series, such as the various FFVII games, there's a marked lack of consistency from game to game.

The connection across the series is thematic (Chocobos, Cid, similar spells) rather than narrative.

Final Fantasy 14 feels like a safe place for gender expression and queerness in a way no other MMORPG really does. Despite that, the world—and its main story—don't really acknowledge our existence in any meaningful way. The wider game has one instance of a confirmed queer couple I could find or remember.

Can I skip ff7 Remake and play Rebirth?

You can play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth without Remake, as it includes a recap and starts you well-equipped, but it's highly recommended to play Remake first because Rebirth is the direct, middle part of a continuous story, diving deep into lore and character arcs you'll miss, especially regarding the new story deviations that rely on knowledge of the original FF7. Skipping Remake means missing crucial emotional investment and plot nuances, making some of Rebirth's "twists" less impactful, even with the built-in recap.

Which is harder, FF6 or FF7?

In terms of difficulty: FF7 is the easiest jrpg I've ever played. Some of the optional bosses are pretty difficult, but main story encounters are a breeze. FF6 is quite a bit harder, by comparison. I don't see a reason to not play them back to back, unless you think you'll get tired of playing jrpgs.
