Merging into the story both 11 and 14?

[Muras]

Though it's not an official thing, I like to think all the FF worlds are connected together through Atomos, since he's essentially a gateway to all time and space and has shown up in multiple games.

If you really want to link the games together, just do what I did; My character from FF11 was using Atomos until one day something went wrong and I got barfed up in Eorzea (Atomos was showing up just before Dalamud fell). That's the basic backstory to my character in FF14. Done and done, right?

Although, I still play FF11 on occasion so I like to pretend it happens in the "future", heh.

It honestly makes sense, and could be the reason behind the whole Dissidia thing aside from Cosmos and Chaos summoning them. Atomos could just be the method to cross dimension travel.

There is a whole plethora of problems if you link the games, such as you are a blu or pup or cor or etc and you show up in eorzea where these jobs do not exist, then you have fanboys screaming they want their hard earned gear and jobs from xi to transfer no matter how they explain it lore wise. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Im happy they are separate games. FFXIV has too much fan service as it is already. keep the titles separate. Heck I wont even play dissidia because I find it a corruption of story and franchise and SE just trying to make a buck. They wont get my dollars for it. Plus they seem to focus on some of their worse characters...cloud and lightning.

They make a small reference to ffxi in FFXIV via crab minion whose flavor text is
"The mere sight of this wee wavekin may cause severe psychological trauma to those who spent years of their lives on faraway shores culling his relatives."
so there is that take that as you will.

[Elexia]

The reason for the majority dislike of this thing is the fact that she is being overinflated in terms of SE shoving her down everyone's throat. She appears in these games.


Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XII-2
Dissidia Final Fantasy 012
Final Fantasy XIII: LIGHTNING RETURNS
Final Fantasy XIV

She overstayed her welcome way too much.

So basically Final Fantasy VII round two?

The thing that puts the two in separate categories, the game's protagonist for VII played a musical chairs of deal, it wasn't always cloud getting rammed in our face, and I liked that it shared the stories of people like Vincent, Yuffie, Tifa, (Not Cait Soth, I have a bad relationship with him cuz of his cousin's late arrival to ffxi.)

But with XIII? Oh no it's the same protagonist, she's now final fantasy's poster girl, because she's got attitude and has the sex appeal to make any fan boy wet his pants. As long as te character is visually appealing, they'll sell w/e and not think twice about it. It only serves as a reminder to why I sometimes hate the fact that the JP portion of the community has the "Home field advantage" kind of thing when it comes to devs and the company listening to them while they ignore an entire globeworth of people.


Oh also did EU/NA ever get that poll or was it JP only?

[Calypsx]

I like Lightning and i'm not even attracted to women so that definitely doesn't factor on why I enjoy her character or on why some others enjoy her as well...

People just don't like Square no matter what they do at this point. XV and Lightning Returns can be great games and Square will still get hate from the loud vocal fans. That's how it is and how it will always be moving on to the future, this also doesn't just apply to Square either, pretty much every game company is experiencing this right now in different ways.

Back on topic.

This will most likely never be possible, also the fanbase of the two online titles are split and generally don't get along.
