What consumers expect of a FF-title

[Lucifer]

Wrong.

No.
I should have stated; no ties to the cast and or plot.
Since FF13-2 takes place after the events of 13, it is an obvious sequel.

FF10 being a sequel to 7 is bs. How does one guy of FOUR people; get to write his own story and say "yeah this is the sequel to FF7 because I'd like to think its like that" (Those are his own translated words I believe. He never mentioned it was a sequel though but people and their autistic judgement...)

It's not a sequel. Take that terribly translated interview with a grain of salt.
