Video Game Trivia

She owned the game and played it a lot.

Damn right she did, that game was *** amazing.

EDIT: The campaign, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eGjjnFlq_8&NR=1&feature=endscreen

meh, sen is next imo.

I'd say Tolvo or Plastic should decide, as I haven't technically come up with the answer on my own.

It's your turn.

I concur

Alright, here goes:

Which two titles of a very long and popular video game series, who are known for standalone titles sharing the same name, exist in the same universe? Optionally, how are they connected to one another?

If the question's vague you can ask for clarification, and my first hint will be revealing which series it is.

^ I want clarification.

Red Alert and Command and Conquer Tiberium Dawn.

Kane is in both of them, the Russian ending for Red Alert shows Kane assassinating Stalin and setting up Russia to fall and have Nod eventually rise.

Xeno Gears/Saga?

Connected by time and place. One takes place in the other's future.

I have another guess too. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Connected through developer, and it's been theorized that they exist in the same universe in a number of ways. The one I've heard the most that makes the most sense to me is the broken archstone theory

Final fantasy? Trying to think which two were connected

Alright, so after thinking about it and seeing the responses I feel the question was a bit too vague, so here's the revised version:

Which two numbered Final Fantasy titles(so sequels and spinoffs don't count) exist in the same universe, optional question stays the same.

^ We were just talking about it. There are a bunch of different connections between groups of the games. All the ones that take place in Ivalice are connected, the two that take place in Spira, etc.

Tactics, 12, and Revenant Wings do, X and X2, I think 4 and 5 might.

It's been theorized that 7 is connected to a few others too because the name Shinra pops up in places in other games too.

I've also heard theories that 6, 7, and X are connected because they all feature creatures called "Weapons" that the planet creates/births/houses in order to protect itself, which if it's true would mean 6 takes place last, because Atma is the last surviving of his kind, and the world is destroyed at the end.

Hmm, another revision/hint: the earliest of the two titles was released after '95

This is kind of a loaded question. They're millions of theories out there that relate a lot of them to each other. It's like asking for specific true Dark Souls lore. There's so much out there that even if you found authorial truth it would be impossible to differentiate from the others.

I was going to say XII and Tactics since they both take place in Ivalice, but I guess Tactics isn't numbered and considered a spinoff, huh?

EDIT: If you feel like answering this question as a hint that'd be cool (if you don't then just don't answer I guess :|), but is IX one of them?

Hmm, fair enough. The trivia I was talking about was:

Spoiler:

Since Plastic technically mentioned it, he's up.

I think my favorite is the Weapon lore. I love the Weapons. Atma especially. He's such a badass and his whole story is awesome.

^ Can see where that would make sense though, if you consider that Spira is basically constructed on top of the ruins of a technological world, and 7 was essentially the lead-up to the destruction of a technological world, but 6 is also, and is related in other ways too.

What's the name of this game:

Seems familiar, I have no idea what the name of it would be though lol.

I played an open source Linux game based off it, but can't for the life of me remember the name of either.

Edit: the game I played was called Battle For Wesnoth, but I still can't remember the name of the game it's based off.

Sorry. I had to go do something. Trying to think of what a good hint would be. It was solely for one of the main fourth generation consoles, and was up to 4 players, but an adapter was necessary to accommodate them all. You could also change game settings to use two controllers, but they made it hard to figure out, and tried to sell the adapter with it

I don't remember there being a SNES game like that, so I'm inching towards the Sega Genesis, and I'm really not familiar with the games on the Genesis.

I'm gonna have a pop and say "territories" or "Medieval Risk"

It's neither of those, but it is absolutely a Genesis game. I think Genesis had a wider variety of good strategy games than the SNES did. I was a Nintendo man through and through back then, but pretty much all of SNES's strategy series were never released in the West. Bahamut Lagoon, and Fire Emblem, etc. Those were the really good ones anyway. Still are.

There's a sequel to it for the Saturn too, but it was also exclusively Japanese
