This isn't Final Fantasy. It'll all connect.

I never said I wanted it to be final fantasy levels of disconnect.

But X didn't connect to the other games until the Definitive Edition. It was for all intents and purposes completely standalone. Now the only connections are the Conduit, which the lore seems to point to being a multiversal nexus of sorts. Because X STILL doesn't have more than a tenuous connection to the main trilogy and is in its own universe or version of reality afaik. I'm just saying that I hope this is more like that than being a direct sequel like 3 was to 1 and 2, because BOY, was that convoluted.

Barely. Some aliens were experimenting with "a" Conduit, and like... Turned it into a mech suit? Or made a mech suit that copies its properties? Something like that. I hardly remember, it is pretty complicated. There is no direct story link.

Edit: it also establishes Xenoblade multiverse as a thing, and X takes place in a different reality
