 Humans are the real monster of the week.

Ray has so little to do with the original game that it's not even obvious to me when they take place relative to each other. I assumed Ray was a prequel at first, because I thought its name was "Blue Reflection Zero", but then I realised it's a different "rei" and it's referring to something else. It might still be a prequel as well, which would make that a pun on about five different levels.

I feel like it's being intentionally ambiguous on that part, given that (Blue Reflection ending spoilers) Yuzu and Lime are still around, which they shouldn't be if the events of the original game happened.

And honestly, I'm not sure it's as disconnected as it seems, given that the Sephiroth are hanging around, and that Mio and co. are trying to gain access to the Common. Even outside of the direct links, it's still very much playing on the same themes as the game, just handling them in a significantly different manner, and with more serious, far-reaching issues.
It could be that the connections are there, but I'm not remembering the game clearly enough to catch them.

 Would-be Kabbalists take note: "Sephirot" is supposed to be the plural and "Sephira" the singular. I daresay someone's been bamboozled by the "-a" ending sounding so much like a Latinate plural. Classic rookie mistake.

 They sneakily replaced the very last shot of the end credits, too. Instead of the usual, it shows Hiori reading a letter from Mio.
