One thing I forgot:

Many things that have been central to the plots of Final Fantasies since were cast offs of 7.

The Sorceresses from VIII? The character designs were done originally for some sort of Jenova-character in 8.

Cocoon in XIII? Midgar at one point of development going to be a floating Dyson Sphere.

Hell, some plot points that were cut originally came back in the compilation. In the original game, during the Nibelheim Flashback, Sephiroth was to make a comment about wanting to leave Shinra, and being a Warmer character. Crisis Core had those plot point built into the plot.
