Except they all, to some extent, made sense (for both games). Shantotto learned how to travel dimensions thanks to a spell she accidentally learned in FFXI, at the very beginning of 'A Shantotto Ascension.' Dragon Quest X was mostly a reference, using XIV races for a monster (for ze puff puff), leaving golems being the only thing from the DQ franchise. Iroha is a questionable one, as it's unclear on just when she leaves XI to enter XIV (and it makes less sense the more I think on it). Lightning is also a questionable one... was she thrown into Eorzea by Etro? Bhunivelze? or was it all a 'dream' to her? (the event takes place between XIII-2 and Lightning Returns, when she was crystallised).

What is the story with the Yokai? How'd something that isn't even from a SE game/franchise wind up in Eorzea (I don't plan on doing the event since it's just Atma farm 3.35. I've done enough of that already)?
