I disagree vehemently. The only "Tie" between them is one single character, an Investigator of Ishgardian descent who was called back home to do exactly his job, and investigate an issue that was affecting members of his family. And I like that they brought in a pre-existing character to fill this role, rather than make up a new one, because to me it makes the world feel more fleshed out and involved. I like to see characters from different stories come in and play a role in others where it makes sense, as it makes the world feel like a living, breathing place alongside the people who inhabit it.
