    It isn't also the first time we see Shantotto or FFXI mobs. Omg, does it mean it takes place in Vana'diel?

    Wait a second... Shiva, Ifrit, Bahamut, the CT are also there... maybe it's actually FFIII world then?

    Wait, did someone say Lighting? Then it must be FFXIII world, clearly.

    I wasn't referring to reoccurring elements like mobs, summons, etc.
    I was pointing out some lorewise similarities to XII, that are pretty convincing to a certain extend, since SE purposely connects XIV's with XII's mythology like Lahabrea being the light counterpart of Mateus for example.
    They also share part of their glyphs.
    I think it would be stupid of SE if they handeled this matter like reusing some trashmobs or names because they could've easily thought of something else if they didn't want to connect XII with XIV

    There are lorewise similarities with 3 too. Actually, there are more similarities with III than XII.

    Also there are lorewise similarities between FFIX and I too, VII and VI, VIII and IV, III and V.

    It doesn't make them connected, it called "being part of the same-series that often re-uses a lot of elements". XIV is especially guilty of this, since it takes a bit of everything (Gunblade and Ultima Weapon design from VIII, Judges design from XII, Summon designs from XI, CT from III, Krile and Galuf from V)
