Do any of the Final Fantasy games connected?

The mainline Final Fantasy games aren't connected with each other in any direct fashion. They often share certain motifs, but they each take place in a different fictional world and follow a stand-alone story. Some Final Fantasy games have spawned spinoffs or direct sequels.

In this regard, are the Final Fantasy games in the same universe?

Short answer: No. Long answer: When a game takes place in the same "universe", they also usually share the same number. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is in the same universe as Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy X-2 and XIII-2 are the sequels to X and XIII and take place in their respective universes.

So yes. Play away.
