I never really bothered to follow the first two games' plot outside of just watching the story cutscenes, but there's supposed to be this mythology shared between the XIII series, Type-0/Agito, and Final Fantasy XV. Does XIII-2 or Lightning Returns actually do anything with it, or do they go off on a tangent? I was thinking about this since the translation patch for Type-0 is coming out soon, and from the looks of it they involve the mythology into the story a lot more seamlessly than XIII, that explained basic concepts like "Pulse l'Cie, enemies of Cocoon" over and over again, while not even mentioning the major Gods and Goddesses involved in the story. XV uses it too, but apparently with the slight difference that someone who has a near-death experience can talk to the dead or something, presumably something both Noctis and Stella have experienced. This whole shared mythology stuff was inspired by the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, but has failed spectacularly since XIII did a terrible job of getting people interested in it, XV has kept us waiting for nearly a decade, and Type-0 may never see an official English release. Some people may have bought FFVII expanded universe games to see more story crowbarred into the gaps, but no-one cares what Etro and Bhunvelise or whatever are up to.
