ff12= ff14

It is important to note that the FFXIV-Ivalice is not the FFXII-Ivalice.
They've been heavly borrowing from FFXII, thats true - but "our" Ivalice has no connection from what you know from FFXII.

Same holds true for most other refrences from other (FF)-games: Even if they're closely resembling the original game, they're never excatly that. What is true in FFXII doesnt has to be the case in FFXIV aswell.

yes i suppose

but i dont like when they do that, cause it gives confusion, and do a melt of several univers which have no real link together, why fran? why not another caracter.

I mean ok in soul calibur 2 heihachi come from a dimensionnal portal, that give some sens even if it is easy way to give.

But taking entirely a character from another game and put it here, with no real reason, and another story, it is just weird. ok vivi is in hilidbrand story but hilidbrand is like a side dream joke

thx for answer

1) Fran was a popular character, thus why Fran.
2) If you're okay with dimensional portals, then you should be fine with this. We've had several mentions of dimensional travel in FF14. The Warriors of Darkness came from another dimension/version of Hydealyn. Omega is from another dimension.

In the FF14 universe, Tactics happened a long time ago and the FF12 Ivalice is a part of Hydealyn. However, just as there are infinite multiverses, so lies the possibility they aren't THE Ivalice from the original games. But since we didn't know anything of "the world beyond" Ivalice in Tactics and FF12, it could go either way. You could think of it as a different multiverse, or that it has always been a part of Hydealyn. That's the nice thing about FF series, is that a lot of it can cross over.

Omega and dragons are from another planet, technically. The other shards are seemingly part of a multiverse that was created when Zodiark was expunged and reality broke, and other beings like Ultima(and crossover characters, I guess) are from another plane altogether.
